I forgot about those Marc (sorry). However even though Kyosho made some plastic cars back then they weren't cheapening the models by releasing cheaper versions, if anything cars like the Rocky were rereleased as Turbo Rocky etc...
Unfortunately when they started selling the Ultima II, Lazer Alpha etc.. they were taking great cars and flogging cheap nasty ones. Kelron. Pfft.

Re: Kyosho LeMans line up X5
That's true, I always got the sense of quality from Kyosho's cars, even at the lower price points. Maybe it was because they had the reputation of making "serious" race cars with the Optima & Ultima series and successors...Tamiya was never really known for making race cars, just good-quality hobby-grade cars...and probably that good rep filtered down to their lower-end models, I suppose.
