Kyosho Alpha Series

[CK9887]

How are these? I was looking at the first edition and they are cheap! The S2000 rtr with battery/charger/esc is 109$
I know the battery and charger sux but i already have a battery and charger. Im wondering is the S2000 a rally? Is everything the same on this car as the one with the Subaru or rally bodies? Is it just a different body? I think all you can find is the S2000 in the first edition. Could these cars handle any offroad? Can you adjust the height of the shocks.
Any info would be helpfull, also pictures are appreciated.

also, what motor limit does the included esc have?

the ESC manufacturer's limit is 20 but I had it running with Speed Gem 17turn single without any major problem. S2000 has the same suspension as the rally version of the belt drive ones. All you have to do is switch the tires to the rally ones. You can't really call them a shock either...it's only a spring holder that looks like a shock...it has no dampening action what so ever so you might want to switch to either the kyosho plastic ones (good enough for bashing) or step up to the aluminum ones. Changing the bushings is a must because there is a significant difference on before and after performance. You can also buy the chassis cover and they are about $10-15 bucks at towerhobbies.com
