Wednesday, March 19, 2008 - In development for many months, Kyosho America has finally launched a completely new website that features more intuitive navigation, many more interactive features, and a host of user resources that include new product information, blank and team driver set-up sheets, instruction manuals, pictures, videos, parts lists, dealer locator, and more. Some of the newest features are still being uploaded, but come see the overall look and feel of the new site at kyoshoamerica.com and tell us what you think.

yes,the new site is sweet......Not up to other MFG's site, but certainly deserving of praise, and I am sure it wil get better. But the best news the website brings is a sign of life from kyosho.......Now, if we get the inventory and supply problems settled, they could be a major player in whats left of the RC hobby.....

In that case what would people consider to be the best manufacturer website?

my personal favourite is hpi europe's website.

I am a huge Kyosho fan but I have a big problem with their distribution... It is hard to get Kyosho parts. I have some Kyosho monsters and I have to pay a premium on Kyoshoamerica.com because I can't find the parts anywhere.

There is no competition for Kyosho parts. Kyosho has the market in a Monopoly, and if you want the part you will pay Kyosho's list price on Kyosho's website.

This isn't completely true for their 777 buggies and ST-R, but definitely true for their monster trucks and other vehicles.

I looked on the site and couldn't find out if you can get a kit to turn a older ZX-5 into a the new SP model?
