I hope diffs are better than previous Mad Force and FO-XX, they were weak even on 4s, I had to decrease the punch setting to make them last a bit longer. Diffs were the same as the Inferno MP7 and Neo if I remember right. I also remember Kyosho had the hardened steel one as upgrade, both for spider gears and bevel gears, they were better but not bulletproof. Not the best platform in the durability side, but sure it was fun as hell 😈, on 6s probably it can do standing doubleflips 😂. I don't like the new wheelie bar but for the rest it seems quite an improvement.
Same esc as the Inferno Neo 3.0 VE, I put a 19tooth pinion in mine and ran 48mph. Saw someone put a max 8 in and ran 70mph, motor is 6s capable too! I assume the motor in this would be too?
Seen a Clodbuster way back in the day! Lusted after one for ever! Barely resisted the monster truck bug! Back then we’re talking 2 - brushed 540 motors, 2 - 7.2 volt ni-cad batteries. About 50lbs, appropriate run-time…. 3 minutes! 😂
Hahaha!!! Thats exactly the first thing I saw too! I mean, the RC is cool and all, but that bike is clean! One day I'll relive my youth and buy another monochrome GT Performer with black mags. I miss that bike so much! My dad gave it to a coworker to give to her 12 year old son in the early 2000s when I moved out. I left the bike there only because I was moving to an apartment. He didn't realize what it was worth lol.
Excellent! Thanks for doing the size comparison next to the Mad Van and MT10. The truck looks huge. Even though this is a 2 year old video shot "old school" it looks great! The truck really looks nice.
Thank you for this great content that you put out and I really appreciate it a lot I look forward to getting some of these RC cars that you have in your collection they look Wicked fun Wicked, and I just can't wait to get them
Something I can run where I live, but not my style. Wanted the original as a kid. But I’m concerned that there are Christmas decorations up in October!!!
Nice! I've got a KYOSHO MadForce, nitro and 3-speed chain drive - even after all these years the engine still starts so easily. It's a great truck. Huge, same chassis as yours there. The only weak spot I found were the steering link arms, for its weight bouncing around on corners etc it'd pop off the rose joints. I simply removed all the narrow link arms and made a U shaped bracket bolting it to the suspension near the axle and mounted a servo directly there, making my own chunky steering arms to each hub - problem solved. Much better!
Very nice! I love my kyosho foxx VE ...be careful they are torque monsters! I see on the box they beefed up the axles wonder what they made different on them now?
Kyosho is a bit of an underrated brand. I still have my og USA-1 I bought new in 1991. The Clodbuster and the USA-1 were the only big tired 4wd monster trucks at the time. Getting mine running again is this winter's project.
Man!! It would be nice for next christmas, I dont know theres also the losi lmt, the zd racing pirates 2 v3 and the fs racing atom maybe even the sharks 🤔 but at least I have time to think and maybe something better comes out 😁
The original setup was similar to the Clod Buster but better in my for my money although Kyosho had quite a line up during that timeline. aftermarket parts should give it some real sweet options.
Just be careful with big air as the Axles tend to snap under big impact. Unless they have upgraded the plastics over what they had on the Foxx 2.0. The Axles aren't one piece either.
Love the oldschool look. Love the tires. Love Kyosho brand. I must say though that trying to get this thing to go nearly 60 mph just because it can means you're probably gonna damage it quite a bit. In my opinion just not the type of car that should go this fast.. Needs a wheelie bar but that will kill the oldschool look i'm sure.
Was saving £ for traxxas max for christmas. But after seeing this video now i’m having second thoughts. My brain says Max but my heart wants the USA1. Phil help me decide😂.
The technology has by far gone beyond the engineering limits of RC vehicles these days. The first time you gunned it the truck literally did a full standing back flip. I don't understand the appeal of an undriveable RC vehicle. My favorite thing about RC cars is the driving dynamics and the ability to mimic a real vehicle. Brushless motors may be great and all but that just doesn't look fun.
I'm so glad that all these companies are starting to release more solid axle monster trucks. The clodbuster and the smt10 are nice, but the losi LMT and now this thing, is like a breath of fresh air for the hobby.
I’m excited about this one. Mine has finally arrived after months and months. 👍🏻👍🏻 Yep you can get a 4 wheel steering kit. I’m surprised at the flimsy parts for a Kyosho.
@@TomleyRC I still have the predecessor to the USA-1, the Kyosho Double Dare. For that matter the Kyosho Big Brute is a predecessor as the 2wd variant. All had the same gearboxes and suspension till the USA-1 came along. I upgraded my Double Dare with USA-1 suspension as the Double Dare with 4wd/4ws is anything but stable. Unfortunately I have to resign that the Tamiya Clodbuster won the war. The good news is that it makes my Double Dare extremely unique.
Pretty dang cool When ya have a bad landing or crash the parts pop off and you just pop them back on Put some loctite on your wheel bolts They are known to come off ✌️
It's a very attractive rccar. I live in South Korea and I don't think there are any rc reviews yet. I'd love to try it once. I enjoyed watching it. Subscribe and like.👍👍👍
I remember lusting after the original USA-1, back in the day. Looks incredible!! And a handful with a full throttle start!! And you want to run twin motors!! You're gonna need a bigger wheelie bar!! 😎🤘🏻
