This is all the information we have at the moment, but I'll bet its something B-I-G!

[1 bad bug]

This probably isn't it, but wouldn't it be cool if they re-released the USA1?

[Der_Meister]

that would be awesome!
seriously doubt it will ever happen though. hell any re-release of there old monster trucks would be so cool the internet might explode

it says something big. im thinking: 1/5 scale maybe? or another shot at a 1/8 short course truck? electric truggy?
how about some awesome parts support, that would be big!

[roadrunnr43]

I'm betting on 5th scale with Der Meister.

[OldSchoolRC]

5th scale here as well, or a new large electric truck to compete with the Savage Flux size trucks. Large electric is pretty hot right now.

Yawn. If they ever get a deal back with Tower, I'd be interested in Kyosho again. Until then, no thanks. Too bad, they make some really nice cars.

[tormentor3211]

Well I'm guessing we probably don't want to rule out a 1/5th scale something

[Maxx man]

Im gunna say 1/8 brushless monster

[LSXEric]

Ima say a micro racer.;)

A guy I play poker with works at Kyosho. I asked him about it a few minutes ago. He told me that the big secret is indeed something Huge for the company. He went into some detail, and the work is this....Large Scale AirFlight, rangeing from Electric ByPlanes to Large Cargo Planes and everything inbetween. A full line of Jet Powered Military fighters. They are also working on a few different types of large scale Heli's as well. He also stated that within the next 12-18 months they are going to launch a offshore racing boat line for epic poportions.
He has been in the development room at Kyosho and said that he had helped with the design of the boat that will be released second. It is a PickleFork concept that should shock the Marine side with its style and performance in the water. Oh, by the way. For those of you who was starting to believe, I made this all up, lol....Suckers, :D

[Fiero_Man_121]

bash, i followed it like the best true believer, you got me :o

[roadrunnr43]

the first hint at BS was the "a guy i play poker with, works for kyosho". in oklahoma? really? why havent you told us about this before? how does HE know whats going on?

[Philderbeast]

Well, I was leaning toward the zynga on face book type poker, lol.

[Der_Meister]

i just had a thought. with AKA kicking ass with the kyosho chassis. and short course being all the rage. and kyosho not having a short course kit. im starting to wonder about a ultima SC kit to compete against the factory team SC10

[roadrunnr43]

^^ I cant believe we overlooked that. although they specifically said "BIG". either they mean large scale, or just a big hit.

[Maxx man]

a slight dissapointment in my book... this is the "really big thing"

but its just a mini z track at their USA headquarters thats open to the public :rolleyes:

[Der_Meister]

to be brutally honest, im a little disappointed. although im sure all 6 mini z owners are happy.

[roadrunnr43]

thats it!? I dont even know where their HQ is. probably waaay out in california.

[Maxx man]

ya Im pretty upset... they could have somethin so big. They certantly had enough buildup

[Der_Meister]

thats it!? I dont even know where their HQ is. probably waaay out in california.

yeap. i live out here and will never use it. i never knew there was a need for such a track. those mini z's never seemed like that popular of a car to me. come to think of it, i don't think iv ever seen one in person
