from this photo, you can see a few things,
1) the front ends uses a x-mod like suspension system
2) the interior of the servo has moved forward to make room for the batteries
3) the battereis have moved inward a bit to allow narrower bodies
4) the body clip attachment "hinge" is straight compare to mr02

It looks like they've mounted the motor higher up, I wonder how that will affect the COG and/or wheel hop on turns?

The front suspension does look like the gen1 xmod...

I wonder why they are still using a live axle design vs IRS?

yes i will affect cog and in turn make it hop more but as we hope this is a protype and hope that this is fixed

and the front suspension is called double a arm system
they made it for the mr-02s
as you can see here the has a under mount spring

I was talking about the rear on my suspension comment, seams like it would be finer tuned with an indepent rear suspension.

The motor is what bothers me, seams like a step backwards.

ya but it seems as if you could put a after market motor pod on
but i do not know

and i know what you mean about the rear suspenson but that is not up to us but i am sure that they will cahange that

btw if you look at the the motor it has that glue on it like the xmods weird

The motor is actually mounted like the MR-02s, just that one prototype pic is of the cooper MR-03 chassis. The normal MR-03 chassis will look like the last pic in the first post.

Well.......the search button worked. I searched to see if anyone already made a thread about the new MR03, and well yup.

OK, here is my bit. It's from reflexracing.net ... Notice the animation at the end of the article... it shows that the chassis configuration can accomodate all the Z setups. Should be a BA ride.

I just looked at that last night on kyosho's north american website and from what I saw there that is going to be a super BA ride and they have a small demo of how much different this car is compared to earlier models. Wonder how long before XXX gets one and tricks it out. In any case this is one I can't wait to see.

Triple X tricks out Zs? Didnt know that he was a racer!

Honestly I think the main point is a) stock ability to have either a wide or a narrow front end and b) ability to use true MR15 narrow bodies with 02's stability. Whoever likes their wide race bodies can honestly skip this $180 premium, but as for me- this is EXACYLY what I'm looking for in a Z chassis.

I'm still waiting for a new AWD. I only drive AWD!

What are your complaints about the current one?

Well, I'm sure the guys who made it are much better at designing R/C cars than me so for one who knows if my opinions are feasible, any better, or have negative drawbacks or not. I'm certain a lot of thought went into the chassis design.

I'd say that lower center of gravity would be on the top of my list.

Lol so just say that. It doesn't matter who designed it if some racers will have complaints. I'd personally wonder if xmod gen 1 awd layout would be better given the quality build Kyosho would do. Weight won't really be lower, but at least it would be even on both sides. I also remember reading others saying that an unbalanced side weight is better for AWD platforms.

I'm sure its better for ALL platforms in general.

Well, since you put it that way I guess I'll disregard all physical limitations etc.

1. lower center of gravity
2. Built in laydown crystal adapter (seriously no excuse for this)
3. replaceable front lower knuckle holder
4. Easier to change rear springs (I have to remove 6 screws now)
5. better chassis balance
6. Stronger chassis stock
7. Lighter chassis.

Thats the bulk of it for me.

Exactly, Im sure Kyosho isn't trying to make an inferior chassis to the MR02...LOL the MR03 is sure to please.

In all honesty 03 won't really replace the 02 since it proved itself as a worldwide competitive chassis so just work yours and sharpen your skills using it.

Just feel like the other bodies in the launch lineup don't stand up to this FD save maybe the 911 due to its own popularity and scarcity.

Where have you seen this one for sale.... or pre-order. Post a link please, Id like to check it out.

Oh, they already have some for pre order available on reflexracing.net and rckenon.com. ,,,, they come in Oct 30. $189.00 Chassis set.

Japan is, if I remember correctly, $160 for chassis and 180-190 for body+chassis. That said it might make sense to just import w/ SAL shipping vs overpaying extra 20-30$ to get it here.

Rckenon hobby is 1hr from my house I can pay 190.00 and no shipping from there. And a bonus, while I'm there I can do some laps on the offical PN Racing RCP track.

Yeah but that's normal and to be expected. I just can't wait to get mine.... I did just win this awsome LOT on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220493207002&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

The KO PROPO is worth what I paid and the Mini-Z has about $400-$500 in it...not to mention the batteries,Motors and 6 bodies. Can't wait for the box to arrive.
