Kyosho TF-5s

I wish Kyosho and Tower never fell out. I feel like their accessibility and pricing has suffered. I would have one of these if they were reasonably priced. Still awesome cars though. How about this? Their website says these cars are unavailable. WTF Kyosho, w-t-f.

The world-class performance of the 1/10 EP Touring Car TF-5 has evolved into the wider TF-5S, suited to 200mm body styles. While maintaining the TF-5's driver-friendly shaft drive characteristics, the new TF-5S delivers sharper speed in stunning scale detail. In addition, all PureTen series body sets can be fitted and even the position of the body mounting holes are the same. Designed for easy assembly, beginners to experts will enjoy the building experience as well as the driving performance. Now a special event has been created for racers to appreciate the scale form of these machines with the TF-5 SUPER GT Challenge in addition to the KYOSHO TROPHY to be awarded the Saturday before qualifying in the 2009 KYOSHO CUP! The electrifying speed of EP touring cars combined with magnificent SUPER GT series scale body designs promises to set hearts as well as cars racing!
