I don't have any info concerning the retail price... as you say Fabs, I would not understand why it should be more expensive...

As you can see on pictures, the rear arms are not the last ones from the Ultima with only single hole for shocks...

The arms are the mid arms LA243 or um521 both these have 2 holes for fixing the shock bottoms.. um521-1 has the single hole only..

You would still need LA255 for your front wishbones!

So is this an FS with the old Rear-mid conversion on it? I'm liking the new shell, reminds me of the YZ-10 I think

Although I like Kyosho a lot, I think the new shell is plain ugly. It reminds me of the Losi 8ight T influenced yucky low sitting Nitro shells.

Maybe they should have taken the Optima Mid bodies as a basis to work on, even the old Lazer ZX shell looks better.

The mainfold suspension options meanwhile have become really confusing. I'm glad I sold my SP in early 2009.

Looked my arms at the desk.
I've got 10pairs of arms.
2pairs are there from the ZX-5.
4pairs are the KYOUM521.
4pairs are the KYOLA255.

So win-win for me.
And i finally realized that my car has KYOUM521 rear arms and hopefully the KYOUM519 rear axles. Oh, what a good day.

EDIT: Can i use the KYOUM519-2 with KYOUM521 or i have to use KYOUM519?

I am looking for a new 4wd car.I am not completly happy with the yokomo and the big bores. Is it still woth buying the fs and spares? Or is it best to wait for the new car? I race in belgium where we have small astroturf tracks.

Wich shops do you buy parts from?

Thanks!
