SOmetime this year.. when i asked Shin at the petit he wasnt giving much away...

My guess is it will be out the same time as the new chassis and slipper set up..

RB5 SP2? whats that ? the sp with the central motor?

[Alex H]

That is correct. Guess they did not feel the need to rename the car because of that. No other difference what so ever so buy the umw516 and you got your self a SP2.

I just got word that the FS 2 will be out in May.

And confirmation of a new motor layout, although nothing more than that.

[jaank]

Are you 100% sure on that?????

[njc11]

I would be very supprised if they move the motor position...

From the petit... it was a new shell, new lipo chassis (no cut outs for cells) and a new slipper..that was going to appear...

I was told TODAY FS2 will be end of this month.

And spec sheet says new motor layout, that's all we know.

Nick, that's also what Shin said at the petit, but the car wasn't ready either so he may have decided to change more things...

If this is true, wonder if Kyosho UK got retail price & some more details.

Cool... all we expected then! Lipo friendly car, running i guess the " Mid arm " or latest SP rear arms with single hole fixing on the wishbone.

The "unique motor layout cancels out torque effects" will be the new slipper set up that Shin was running at the Petit!

At the bottom of the page when replying to thread, there is section "Additional Options". Under there, there is "Manage Attachments". There you can upload pictures to your post.

Here are pictures low definition. I also have high definition but too big for the forum...

Looks great Might be my next car really

[Fabs]

I was told this car will be much more expensive than the FS and TBH I don't see any reason for that...
