Default Any info on Kyosho?

Anybody know what the deal is with Kyosho? I hear they are moving to America, getting rid of all their dealers, and are then going to sell everything on their own through kyoshoamerica.com. But, the site is just full of dead links and pictures/descriptions of cars that you apperently can not even buy, let alone get parts for.

I'm looking to purchase one of those .15 size inferno's (I think they call it an Inferno TR-15) but I can't for the life of me find where to buy it, let alone get parts for it. I've seen a few on ebay, but I think they are just leftover stock that the ex dealers are selling off.

Kyosho USA is the new distributor for their own products. They are not cutting out the dealers. They cut out Great Planes. All my local shops are set-up with Kyosho (both in Ontario, Canada and Michigan).

As for the Inferno TR15, I have 3 of them and they are a decent car.

My suggestion is to call Kyosho America's toll free customer service at 1-800-716-4518. I just got off the phone with them about MP777 SP2, lazer ZX-5, and Inferno TR15 parts availability. They were great.
