who would be the first?

[Mister-T]

Kyosho is just using and abusing of there name to sell there stuff, Look at the 1/8 world, kyosho is clearly behind. AE, Losi, HB and Xray rule the place.
People are not blind. why buy a 900 $ buggy when you can get pretty much the same stuff for 400 $ ?
The argument of made in Japan is irrevelant, Xray is made in european country (slovakia) and isn't that much overprice compared to the quality.

Btw does Losi 8 is built in USA or is it made in china ?
