Hi Any idea about how much fast this thing can go?

http://www.kyosho.co.jp/rc_model/21racingcar/evolva2003/evolva2003-e.html

I'v heard that it can go up to 80mph !!

Buy a Mugen MRX-3, allmost identical suspension geometry and chassis layout
(Kyosho have near enough copied the rear end for this car) and it'll be
cheaper on spare parts!

Its how fast the engine can go. The car has only to do with the handling.
Any 1/8 scale car can do 80 with a good engine and gearing
Ive seen them at Floyd Bennet field in brooklyn. Scary as hell.
Look to Serpent or Mugen for proven designs and available parts.
Kyosho seems to have been riding on Towers coattails lately and getting lazy with their
R&D work.
Of all the car makers, kyo has been the least interesting for several years now - aside
from the mini z....and thats pretty much a toy.
Please discuss  ;)

Kyosho is one of the leading companies when it comes to .21 1:8 on
road racing, i still remember the original Fantom in 1986, they
stopped releasing new designs for about 12 years, but it seems they're
coming back.

but of course mugen & serprnt are also good.

Tower Hobbies will receive it on Jan/2004 priced at around $700, not cheap!
