No-one is folowing you round and criticizing you because you're new (this is probably the most newbie friendly forum ever!)it's because you seem to have an incorrect opinion on every subject. Back on topic - After years of 2WD dominance by AE and Losi, good competition is a welcome addition. The mistakes that Kyosho have made need to be learnt from though, if the car is to be a major seller in the UK

Thanks for stirring the pot. But even I would have to agree, it does look a bit like an RB5.
I will have the prototype vehicle hear in the office this week. Should I post pics??? Hmmmmmmmm

Well I had a nice little surprise walking into work this morning after a day of R&D at the local track yesterday, our 2 GV2 Pro buggy samples have arrived. Here are some of the unique features that were incorprated into this vehicle.
-The front bulkhead and shock tower are keyed. Keyed is not a good word for this, its more like the front bulkhead gets hugged by almost the entire front shock tower then gets screwed together. Very very sturdy. - The front hingepin block is keyed into both the uppbulkhead and also the lower bulkhead and then all gets screwed together - Front Hingepin block has replaceable teflon sleeves - Rack or traditional style bellcrank is offered. I am dabbling with the rear end as we speak, will post more news about this time tomorrow.

The rear of the car has some pretty unique features as well:
- Aluminum hingepin blocks have plastic balls that snap into them so that there is not excess force applied to the aluminum when changing antisquat/toe-in - Steel outdrives with large diff rings that go to the very edge of the inside race of the diff gear. This makes for a longer lasting diff by dissapating heatfaster, and also increases surface area which means less wear on the diff balls. -Gear cover that is virtally air tight, there is a lip around the entire black molded plastic diff cover that wraps around the aluminum motor plate. No more lost gear cover plugs on this car, the gear cover plug is actually tethered to the gear cover. -Chunky CVA drives make the rear suspension bind free throughout suspension travel. -Academy Rear hex rims are standard of course, but for those who want to use LOSI/AE/Proline rear rims, just remove the hex adaptor and use the pin drive instead. The width stays the same being that the ACADEMY rims offset is different then the others listed above. -Multi Length Pivot (MLP) on the hub carrier and rear arm for long or short suspension geometry, along with vertically mounted ballstuds on the bulkhead are also featured on this new car. More to come.....
