Am I seeing things....did towerhobbies.com really drop KYOSHO??

I thought towerhobbies was the largest distributor of their
products...at least I always found it very convenient to get parts.

What other online places can one get kyosho parts at discount?

No kidding that happened about 12 months ago. I was watching the
pricing on the Twin Force and saw it disappear and gradually other
Kyosho parts changed to out of stock and then not even listed.

Ah well, I was tossing up between it and the TXT-1 so now I'm watching
the pricing on that instead but it's pretty unmoving. However, since
then I've found ebay sellers doing even better deals on them so I
probably won't even use Tower Hobbies after all.

ASCII a silly question, get a silly ANSI.

About 12 months ago Kyosho opened up a warehouse in America, hence Tower no
longer carries Kyosho stuff. Try e-bay for parts..............

What parts do ya need? If it's for an MP 7.5 Kanai I, II or III I might
have em'.........................

Nah...don't really need parts. I just remember drooling over all those
Kyosho ads in the 80s from tower. I still have my Kyosho Optima ...and
it still kicks butt today.
I always thought Kyosho had cool stuff...until they lost ground
somewhere along the way.
90s?

They never lost ground! The Inferno series 1/8 buggies have won the Worlds
for the past six years running! My Kanai III (won the Worlds 2 years ago)
is an absolute pleasure to drive and will smoke just about every other 1/8
buggy out there. I had a few Mugens and X-Rays giving me a run for my money
last week, but all the other buggies were eating my dust.
