Does it perform as good as it looks? Kyosho KBL10L Tacoma Review 

Lol

Girls, girls, giiiirrrlllssss.

Sounds like Marriage 😅

😂😂😂

Was Jo everyone's favourite? 😂

I don't know why all rtr don't have inners at this point 😂 especially these scale bashers

@@Jeeplee_rc Inner fenders is a must for kyosho aftermarket parts for it?🤔 It helps to keep sand and debris out of the bathtub chassis, it could happen in the near future, is what the product needs?🤔

I think so too!

Do I hear some sarcasm in your voice 😂? Thanks for watching and thank you for the compliment. I shared the video with Kyosho, and they told me that they were planning on filming a promo video but now they don't have to... I was pretty chuffed when I heard that!

I can imagine! @@scalebuildersguild

Thank you!

Great colour choice! Enjoy it!

The Element Knightrunner is actually meant for crawling and scale overland stuff. This Kyosho one is a basher and not for crawling. Two very different chassis and suspension setup

@@monchichis333 I understand that completely. The reason why I like this truck is this the first thing in years, possibly decades that bridges the gap between goofy and goofier. The hobby has been taken over completely by the crawler crowd, yelling portals, portals portals and going 1.5 miles an hour, and then on the other hand, you have the basher crowd driving 75MPH into a wall in something that doesn’t even look like a truck. This bridges the gap between scale, realism and going more than 1.5MPH; something the hobby has lost.

Thanks for watching!

Would really like to mount that body on a crawler.

Nice choice! Welcome back to the hobby!

I actually heard from Kyosho, and they said they no longer needed to film a promo video for it, because they had mine. High praise indeed, I was very chuffed!

So cool that you're in Japan! We're planning to go there in the fall. Safe travels!

That's a huge compliment! Much appreciated and you made my night. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Will do!

Thanks!

Slow motion always accentuates any movement. Thanks for your comments! The light kit is available separately!

Have you looked at the Vanquish Phoenix, Fordyce or Pro? Any of those models would be a great addition to your fleet!

Except that it doesn't have portals like the Gen1 Humvee, so it's lacking ground clearance and would look pretty weird.

@@derrickwilliams2903 why I said good bones and geometry...meaning there is still work to do. Why would adjusting for portals scare me off? I would be rebuilding the front and rear bumpers either way...so the added ground clearance from fabing portals can be taken up by a beefier more functional bumper maintaining the rather good scale proportions....also, I would say that this RC is sitting about a portal axle too low from what I know from seeing them in person...so, I guess we can agree to disagree?

@@verigone2677 I think you are underestimating the difficulty of adding robust portals to something which doesn't have portals available for it and was never designed to have portals. Also, it would likely push out the wheels even wider and mess with the proportions. But good luck!

@@derrickwilliams2903 I think you mis understand, I am not trying to make the thing into a stage 3 comp truck...the plan is to relace all of the suspension with hand bent/milled parts...so adding portals to the punch list really isn't much more. Also, for design, any 1 to 1 will do just fine as will any under drive config, so again, I am not seeing this mythical wall of hard here....were not talking about something in 1/24 scale here, or someone who regularly gives a shit about off the shelf parts availability, lathes, mills, bandsaws, and brazing torches exist for a reason.

Thanks for watching and enjoy your new rig!

You won’t regret that 2.0. Fantastic kit. Tough as nails.

Glad you like them!

Glad you like it!

Always down to FOC!

Thanks for watching!

I was thinking the exact same thing. It kind of ruins the scale looks too. Just way too high. It also looks like it lacks protection from debris getting in the chasis. Excessive debris in the chasis is a major pet peeve of mine because you end up having to stop and clean it constantly. Plus, there is no ability to drive in snow with a set up like this. Offroad trucks need inner chasis protection for goodness sakes! I gues you could use some heavy duty tape to try and seal it more but that is not ideal. That issue is a big enough one for me where I will pass on this one. The Traxxas Maxx with a scale body will suffice for now. It offers plenty of protection and more speed anyhow. Will wait until someone makes one with more inner chasis protection

Lower than it is will introduce a ton more body rub. It’s that high for a reason Im afraid.

Enjoy it!

I don’t generally do comparisons, because it’s very difficult to replicate things precisely. I will say the body mounting on the Slash is better, but it has more plastic overall than the Kyosho does on its aluminum chassis. The Slash will go faster, and has more parts support. They’re both hella fun though!

Hmm, while they’re plastic, they’re not a bad shock, but if you wanted to replace, I’d suggest the ProLine ones. As for different wheels and tires, there’s a ton of short course style that should fit. Check your spacing and offset. Cheers!

Thanks for watching! Looking forward to seeing Headquake hopefully soon!

Great tip!

Heat was negligible! Great platform!

I'm very jealous that you got to go to the Tokyo Model and Hobby Show! Hard to say what the future will hold!

Thank you!

Loved that show! Joe was my favourite!

I’m sorry, probably not. These are a little small for me and my old eyes!

Enjoy it!

Go for it!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and enjoy it!

I'll let him know! I'm very proud of him!

Thank you!

Totally possible. I have an extra if you want to buy it!

@@scalebuildersguild good to hear! Thank you, but i'm in sweden so shipping might be a bit expensive...

Kyosho needs to make this adjustment in the near future for this rc truck?🙄/it looks off on me.🤔

Under the Kyosho body? You’d have to figure out a mount, and a wheelbase change. Not sure it would work!

@@scalebuildersguild would be nice if it would work. Would give it the IFS up front and the solid axle out back like the real truck.

​@@scalebuildersguildlooks like this and the Slash both have a 13.2 wheelbase.

I like this truck a lot. I'm in Australia and have placed a pre order on a Traxxas TRX 4 Ford F150 high trail way back in June this year. Still has not arrived and in August a shipping container was turned back at the Port of Melbourne due to containing small amounts of asbestos, this was a Traxxas shipping container. Now I'm getting fed up with waiting and I might get a refund on the Traxxas and get this Kyosho instead. It's quite a nice looking truck. But 1 or 2 small things sort of don't look right to me. The bodyshell sits up really high and looks strange due to seeing this. It's possible to look right through the chassis and body shell. Then the bodyshell also whilst being beautiful to look at actually looks really flimsy for a truck that can reach high speeds and is meant to be a basher. I agree with a comment made by another viewer , this could really benefit from some inner fenders. And the flimsy looking body posts and underside bodyshell locating area looks sort of flimsy too. So for instance if this truck takes a solid hit to the front or rear and breaks the chassis then the bodyshell can't be secured into place. I reckon Kyosho bed a little more development on this truck. Here in Australia this is selling at $759.00 Australian dollars. Not bad and the Traxxas TRX 4 Ford F150 high trail is $1090.00 Australian dollars. Quite a difference. Then a lot of people are critical on the faulty electronics in Traxxas . And how bad Traxxas are to deal with. I certainly don't need that headache either. Especially after the initial purchase price, I don't need any further expenses. Yeh I don't know which I will choose.

It would be very difficult to dethrone a Slash. It will have a better body mount system, and is probably even tougher than this.

Impossible to say, I don’t have the Mojave 4S. Yet… 😂

The body looks a bit fragile but it held! As for filling up with stuff, welcome to bashing! It’s inevitable!

You take the good, you take the bad 😂

I bought two of them for the wife and I. We love them. Although, I had to buy a body and paint it so they looked different.

So Cool!

Thanks!

If I can track down a body, yep!

It’s got about the same clearance as a Slash. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m sure we’ll see a lot of cool releases on this platform!

Ha! Nope!

Finding a chassis to fit will be the biggest challenge, it’s a big body at 13.4” wheelbase.

I don’t know yet, but it’s got a 340mm wheelbase.

Enjoy!

Happy Birthday next week! My wife says there's no such thing as old... just older!

@@scalebuildersguild Thanks man

😂
