Should have came out of factory like that.. The "premium" for the recolor isn't worth the money. Doh the honeycomb pedals/pads are an upgrade.

If it's 100-300$ higher price, i would accept it. 16x you get better pedals. And on 16s pedals/pads.. S22 only reskin.. (Prices not known yet?) I'm guessing the price increase will be around ~500$ vs regular models. (~500$ Because "limited".....)

The fact that it’s “limited” and a “special 10 year” commemorative it’s most likely going to be more of a premium charge. the 16x & 16s do look very good in that color scheme.

If it's more than 500$ - that's rip-off. As anything in life... 1/5 of wheel price just for a reskin. Duck that.

KNZ Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Ah good, hype destroyed successfully. My wallet is safe another day If they had made the 16x suspension, I would’ve been in trouble. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it will be dropped at some point but it better not be 84v. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something in 16s weight class would be awesome. If it's something like T4/V11/S18 another heavy turd - no thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbera Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) "Guys listen - I've just found this gold paint !'' "Quick, we'll be needing 3 fierce robot animal renders - I've got an idea !!" But I enjoy an angry mechanoid next to a sexy looking wheel or 3, so I will enjoy the campaign, however much substance there is or isn't behind it !

mrelwood Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I saw this document in a local Discord channel that outlined some specs. Looked all same as original. 16S also available in white: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/946141323415650335/1029020653413732364/KINGSONG_10TH_.pdf Interesting nitpick was that the only times the word "fast" was mentioned was for the 16S. Also the nicknames for the wheels are very... Chinese... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chanman Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I get the whole 10 year thing and trying to hype and introduce new products, but the gold reskin is uh, very lame, wow. Why not announce the suspension 16" wheel that should be in the works? I guess that could detract from these gold painted model sales. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nick McCutcheon Posted October 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2022 If they spent as much time fixing issues that never should have existed as they did on the renders for these robot animals, maybe we'd be somewhere. This whole situation is very Chinese. I feel bad for the KS employees who just want to get stuff done, but management is making them push out stuff like this. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg X Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 half can of gold paint, and 500$ extra for "aniversary limited" Kingsong probably has their own customers for idiots, who will buy anything they offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chanman Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 $500 was just thrown out there by a forum member as an expectation, there's no official statements on prices. Something like $200 markup on the 16S and 16X would be fine given the upgraded pedals and such. The S22 being just gold painted with no other differences is pretty funny, maybe worth just to get guaranteed latest batch with fixed motors and such. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
