I've heard of the kyosho slicks, but I've never heard of the micro X, or "high-traction" tires. I can only find 2 references to these on ebay. Anyone heard anything about those? I dig those v-spoke rims from kyosho.

Also, they list several carbon (fiber?) parts listed and flouorine coated 4.8mm ball studs?

*shrug* Kyosho has advertised parts they never made in the past...

...check the 1:8 rims and tires for a glimpse of the high traction tires...We are getting a lot of trickle down stuff...

...Pretty much everything you see on that list IS avaialable thats been released already...Some parts HAVENT been reeased yet which USUALLY means that they are on the way...The ONLY part that I have ever heard of being announced and then NOT being released is the clear rear gear box for the Mini Z Monster platform...

...SOME of the parts on the list you linked to are 'mitei' which means they are still to be confirmed :cool:

...VOILA!! Here is the low-down and dirty on the HI-TRACTION tire...Remember that this is the 1:8 version though ;)

...KYOSHO says..."8 rows of 'flat X' blocks, 3-4mm long. 4 rows lengthwise, 4 rows crosswise. Soft compound for loose dirt or grassy conditions. Good for wet or muddy conditions. Ok but not ideal for dusty or blue groove conditions."
