dazzi220 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Modelsport told me that Kyosho no longer supply to europe? I've been looking at the giga crusher (twin engine) and it looks so sweet, I was really interested. The I saw this: Giga Crusher DF OPT Force Its the same as the giga chrusher but with some alloy hopups, the twin giga crusher is still being sold as far as I'm aware in the UK via ripmax for £575 so I don't know what modelsport are on about. However I can't find the OPT Force version anywhere apart the overseas, has anyone been able to track one of theses puppies down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 There is one at my local track which is regularly bashing about. They are fast-especially with the 3 speed. However two engines just seems to cause twice the prooblems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzi220 Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 dunno how fast, 2 x 26 engines, suppose its the same as the twinzilla conversion kit for the savage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitromotorhead Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Modelsport told me that Kyosho no longer supply to europe? ← Yes I have been told (lhs not modelsport) that Kyosho will no longer be distributed by ripmax, hence some low prices on some Kyosho products. I don’t know/ have any further information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 there was one at the model expo, looks pretty sweet for a kyosho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 theres a 3 speed available? what version u seen the normal tin or the opt force edit - they are 3 speed,did'nt notice lol ← They come with a three speed!! These things really do shift-fast as the LST for sure and if you can tune it in then it is an awesome bit of kit!! Kyosho is one of the best nitro brands out there-so I am not sure what you are referring to Mel? If you can get one and are confident in hadling the twin engines then get one.

Mel Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 the only one i have had is a pure ten alpha gp3 and you know what they are like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Never had one so could not really say. I know their buggy range is brillaint-the Kanoi edition of the Mp777 buggies are awesome bits of kit-if expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
