Does Kyosho still have a problem with zync pest?

The previous F40 was notorious for having it.
Hi, a small correction, zinc pest affects the structural integrity of the metal, it becomes brittle, basically the car becomes fragile and broke in pieces. No 1:18 F40 from Kyosho has been affected by zinc pest, they can develope heavy paint rash but not zinc pest.
The only F40 from Kyosho that has been affected by the zinc pest are some (if not almost all) the red Light Weight 1:12 scale F40s.

By the way, if anyone gets an F40 from kyosho, keep those silica gel bags close to them, humidity seems to be of the cause of that paint rash.
