i was told by someone in the know that kyosho essentially put the cart before the horse meaning they can not get product to those whom chose to carry it. reasons were not given but it's obvious kyosho has issues with the supply chain.

another checked box in the laundry list of mis-steps with this product launch.

the true shame is, i really want these. i'm ready to plunk down $600+ on them however i can not get them without ordering out of state at higher prices (high enough already) or going to ebay which is both cost prohibitive and warrantyless purchases which i consider foolish for something that costs as much as these do.

i'm very close to buying them mr-015's instead and forgetting about dnano's. unfortunately, if things don't improve, i think the vast majority of others will as well.

honestly, you can get these for $130 (kit only) which is reasonable considering they are minaturized mini-z's. i have no problem with that cost but like everyone else, it would be better to have them cheaper. smaller yet just as complex product does not = cheaper though. the starter kit is rediculous if you ask me though. $100 for a shoddy tx (read the mini-z posts on the tx) and shoddy charger (read mini-z posts on the charger) is nuts.
