It´s like Kyosho would sell the SP2 without the new shocktowers?

But like you have already mentioned it's an "SP2" If Xray do the same thing then it needs to be sold under a new name/model number so that the end user knows what he/she is buying.
So you would have
XB8 - Standard first production kit
XB8 - V1 - some improved part included (for example - soft arms)
XB8 - V2 - Additional improved parts (for example - soft arms + Euros TQ suspension).
Also what about the people who have bought the first production kits and have bought the options at a later stage. I think there has to be some pricing structure if the new part are to be included in new kits or else original buyers of the first kits are going to feel like they are being well shafted. Not only buy not having the parts to start with, but by having to have bought the new parts at additional cost at a later stage?
In my oppinion the cars should remain as they are and improved parts should all be options as they are not necessary to be competitive. They are all tuning options if you feel a need for them?
This is just my oppinion!
If a part replaces a design fault then it should be included.
If a part is a redesign and tuning aid then it should be bought as an option part that's not included in the kit.
Option parts can be included in kits if kits are renamed and a pricing structure is arranged accordinly so that original buyers know they are not being done out of buying the original car.
I'd like to see Xray produce a bundle which inludes all options parts which can be bought as a complete set.
