Admin Please advise if we need to order replacement parts and what issue's to order. Since we have had no reply for a while and people are now starting to re-order replacement parts, I'm now at a loss on what to do either paint or wait. Need some more conformation on what is likely to happen.

I don't really want to paint as its not a true fix, but also I dont want to be told if I leave it long enough that you won't replace all the parts required front and rear wing or dont have stock. Like most My model is at a stand still until we have the fix. Just had another 4 weeks of parts and there stacking up fast

I guess your not including Build Diaries?!! lol which reminds me... as from today i'm charging a pound for every view of mine lol

Just the red bits.
See my post a few messages back.

currently on the phone to DeAg and they have no idea what im talking about!!

Hey guys, been off the radar for a bit but still coming along with my build

Now i'm back on here and read a couple of the pages, I've checked my kit and it is the same issue you all apear to be having

My problem is I'm not subscribed through Deag, I collect my issues weekly via my local news agent
How would I go about getting the replacement parts?
or am I stuffed!

Sorry, that was 20 minutes not 30. It probably would have been cheaper for me to just buy another issue 1 on line due to the phone charges .

Hmmm, when I eventually got through and asked for the replacement issues I read the email from admin to the girl, that indicated issues 1, 2, 3 and 4 would be replaced

Had a phone call afterwards from customer service girl that I had previously spoken to saying that I had not started my subscription from issue 1 ; told her that it was purchased in shop and subscription started at issue 2. She hung up .

Anyway parcel arrived with issues 2,3 and 5 so I now have a spare tyre!

Won't be bothering with another phone call just yet.

It doesn't take this long to issue a recall, they have not even acknowledge the fix does not work, so half the people are trying to get replacement part that make no difference, and customer services are still trying to worm out of sending replacements, Can't believe they hung up its totally unacceptable why does it matter if you subcribe or not, the parts are faulty..

Is this how they treat there paying customer. I just want someone to admit the fix is rubbish and there looking into another solution then I'll stop and wait. But there happy to sweep this away mark my words !!!!

I've already said this several times.......
I'm betting pretty firmly that Kyosho will NOT fix this problem.
(DeAg DON'T make this kit!!!!)
They sold God knows how many thousand in Japan before we even SAW the kit. They didn't fix the problem then, so what on earth makes anyone think they even CARE what a few dozen people on a forum think????
Do you really suppose Kyosho (who are WORLD FAMOUS for AWFUL customer support - try even FINDING an e-mail address for them!) are going to spend potentially VAST sums of money modifying an 18 month old kit, just to satisfy a few people here?
They will save FAR more money even if a few people demand a full refund.
Do you really think they will care in the slightest?
I'm NOT being defeatist.
I'm being REALISTIC.
The fact there's getting on for 1,200 messages here going back MONTHS says it all.
Also, the Deag 'fix' is being offered, as DeAg can back it up - they can supply spare parts. They CAN'T supply 'correct' parts because Kyosho won't supply them!
To fix this problem, there's the old maxim:
DO IT YOURSELF, and END this obviously POINTLESS thread!!!
