Any good news for us?

It appears from their blog that the kit, and a new robot stand, are shipping now. You can see photos of the packaged kit and stand, and get a feel for the amount of work it would entail to assemble and finish, here.

I talked to them at IREX in Tokyo last month. At that time they expected to start shipping during December, but the latest schedule is some in January. The Japan pricing is around 16,000 yen (under USD$150).

At that point they didn't have any plan to sell overseas, so availability will no doubt depend on established Kondo distributors like RoboSavvy.

Keep in mind that this is a typical Japanese hobby design, so everything comes unfinished. You have to do all the prep-work, masking, painting, mounting, etc. If you're experienced, say with RC planes or cars, it's okay. But if you haven't done that type of hobby painting and finishing it could be quite a challenge.

Hi there tempusmaster.

If you see them any where for sale in japan could you please upload link to the shop. I would love to have a go at using it as a base and making a really original design for my KHR.

Thanks Bren

That suit looks like it would be very limiting.

yes, quite good looking,

however, the bad point is that the wires cannot be totally hidden in the back.

Nice kit!

I would say it was a one off, if it's not then I would love one.

Want to know if this body will fit on the KHR-1HV with some mods or did they come out with some body kits that fit without hacking ?

Or do you know of any other body kits that will fit?

I know the Genex will fit fine with a little work
