kyosho 1/12 enzo

Either way Christian,

The Tamiyas are not worth much now, nowhere near what you paid. Unfortunately I'm in the same boat but mine is broken, yours is not.

Kyosho may have been late in the market but look what is happening, everybody wishes to sell the tamiyas for thr Kyoshos. Kyosho learnt from the mistakes that Tamiya made. I dont think Tamiya will release another plastic model

 

My dealer told me that my Kyosho Enzo will arrive tomorrow evening, if possible, I will stop by and pick it up...

Everyone is being a bit silly about this 'metal' model issue. The best models are typically made of resin - BBR, Amalgam, Brianza, etc. The 'weight' of a model has no bearing on the quality. And it does make more sense to use ABS plastics to replica carbon fiber (appearance and weight) over metal. I think the Tamiya Enzo is an amazing model - I have sold over 100 of these.

The Kyosho version is nice as well, but neither one 'blows away' the other.

 

I think the point really is that buyers have not really experienced issues with the metal models but they are now experiencing them with the plastic ones.

Be honest, given that you sold over 100 of them, did you get feedback saying they were unhappy or that parts had broken etc?

If so, was this more in comparison to a metal model you had sold?

regards,

Matthew

 

Look forward to seeing some good pics of it!

 

I had no complaints from any of my buyers regarding the fit, finish or quality of the Enzo by Tamiya. Tamiya is known for making some of the most perfect replicas out there - even back in the days when they only made plastic kits.

 

Thanks Morry... as Ive said in the past... I am pleased with my Tamiya.

On another note... does anyone know if the Kyosho in Biante's website is prototype or production pix? The wheels look sub-par IMHO in those photos.

I got my 1/12 Kyosho Enzo last night, it looks really good as compare to Tamiya. I will take some photos at weekend and show you.

It cost me about 275EUR equivalend.

 

ufff

 

possible, but the final result it s to sell, and Tamiya win in this match.

 

275 Euros? Man thats a good price!

 

now including the shipment, and it will be correct.
shame that we are not there, better for our money.

 

I think about 35-40EUR to ship to you...

 

Michael, how you compare Kyosho Enzo with Tamiya Enzo? Which one would you buy if you can only buy one?

 

Only one word --------------- KYOSHO

 

Any reason for your verdict?

 

OK, micheal good news.
now i must to find someone.
hope it will be promtly!

 

it looks great but i got questions

the material view used, like kevlar, the cards for identifications, or the colors inside the motor looks reals?

 

!! Where did you buy it ???

 

in the land of toys, mean Hong kong.
Micheal have you seen the reaction, Where? how many did you said?
in France they got a big problems with the prices too many suppliers!


en clair c est trop cher en Fr, le prix reel X3 c est pas de l abus!
c est limite du vol.

 

Je suis bien d'accord. En France on vends des Enzo à Tamiya à 550 euros et des F50 à 450 euros (là c'est encore plus du vol) !!!
Enfin ... mon Enzo je l'ai revendus depuis quelques mois ... je me doutais bien que sa valeur allait chuter une fois la Kyosho disponible. Maintenant il me faut la Kyosho

 

Pour m a part je garde les deux Tamiya rouge/noire, je pense que la rouge
retournera dans sa boite et que je l offrirais a mon neuveu dans quelques annees -il l adore-
la Kyosho fera partie de m a collection tres prochainement en janvier /mars 2007. j attends tout de meme quelques remontees clients avant d acheter.

 

ok sure Christian, I'll get back to you on this one!!!!

 

Just bought a 1:12 Kyosho Enzo for 319 Euro at a german Internetshop. Think it's a good price, only delivery will take 2 weeks. I would wait, but i must have one.

Nobody here has pics of his personal Kyosho Enzo?

 

Doesnt look like it, thats why I'm still interested in seeing what its like for real.

Cant wait to see yours Steve
