Yeah I heard they were going to carry Kyosho stuff again about a month or so ago. They have the Nitro Mad Force and I am sure just a matter of time before the stock the VE as well. I have fond memories of Tower and Kyosho products. My first hobby grade RC was a Kyosho Turbo Raider ordered from Tower. In the pre-internet days even things like ordering from Tower was much more difficult. I think back on how far things have come and I am absolutely amazed. That Raider came with a mechanical ESC and needed a receiver pack to run...LOL and I think it was somewhere between 3 and 4 hundred bucks for the combo...
