I absolutely love mine, it’s incredibly fun and takes a beating. I run mine on 3s and haven’t had any issues other than the motor being misaligned after a brutal bash. .
Aside from their 8th scale racing stuff, Kyosho is going for a different appeal than just about any other manufacturer. Their offerings are kind of the odd ducks of RC. They don't have the nostalgia market cornered quite the way Tamiya does (nor does any other manufacturer, honestly) so they play a different hand. A weird hand. I've grown to love Kyosho over the years for exactly that reason. As a kid, I remember seeing the Kyosho MoonEyes Astro Van for like $400 and thinking "Who buys this crap?" Now, after decades of driving and wrenching on ubiquitous RC cars all targeting the same market, I think Kyosho's stuff is super vibed out and refreshing. A reminder of what the hobby is about to me. I didn't get it as a kid, but I sure do now. Will they hold up in a skate park bash session with a bunch of Traxxas cars? Of course not. They're not meant to. I had an Outlaw Rampage. Bad handling, poor durability, subpar power, the works. And one of the most fun cars to drive I've ever owned. Just depends on what you're going for.
Eyeing it up myself. Not meant to be a hard core basher (skate park) but great fun it seems on a track with average jumps. From what I've seen in videos stock gearing/esc/motor/receiver isn't the best on 3S (way to wild). Upgrade with better electronics or at least a receiver w/gyro and I bet it's awesome.
Just like most RCs, it will need some upgrades for the weak parts. I was thinking, it could be turned into a 4x4 Stadium Truck, remove the monster truck wheels & fit 1/10 stadium truck wheels & body. Gear it to suit.
Good one claire you should try the conquest 10st xlr 2weel drive quit cheap and realy fun i've got one and as far as i now havent seen them on RUclips keep up the good worck you two 👍✌️🇫🇷🇬🇧
Hey there I have been trying to figure out if a madvan body on a typhon has any chance of working. If you are able to respond that would be amazing. Thanks in advance
What’s make this video great was listening to you laughing. The kind of laugh that is real we as viewers can feel. But you have to admit it took a beating
You know.... deep down.... you like it. Love the color tho !!!!! It'll grow on you (maybe) lol. Keep smiling guys, and take care. Don't let Maya party too hard after recovery.
Awesome vid! I also have a madvan, and it's my least favorite car out of the dozen. It's got a cool look to it, but it never holds up for any offroad/skatepark bash. And parts are not readily available from kyosho.
Yeah blew my spur and pinion gear on 3s recommend 2s or pay $$ the consequences in non. Readily available replacement parts It's been two months looking for the steel spur 75t 48p gear. Jeeeesh , still don't have it as we speak.
I wish I had remembered the Mad Van before I bought the Lunchbox. This is the superior option by far. Faster with better suspension and handling, particularly the steering. And it just looks sweet!
Claire is honest and that what i love about her channel, she saved me from buying this vehicle. Thank you ☀️Note-I love kyosho , been buying there products for years. Just got the USA-1
Awesome video as usual ! I’m still debating whether to get a van that’s angry (mad) or not ! Maybe someone should let me have a go with one at some time
Tell you what… how about I repair, he films and edits 😆 end of channel! We all have our strengths! I for one cannot hold a screwdriver due to nerve damage and he can’t film for 💩 let alone edit 🤣 If you have a look back in previous videos I have built a trx4, fitted upgrades, bodies… teamwork is our speciality 💪🏼
My mad van got xmaxx boosted to the moon lol
Highest it went all day 😆
@@ClairesRCs does well for a baby 2 s
@@dansbeardedrcadventures5605 oh that was yours that got rammed from behind?? Holly molly 🤣
@@RuisRcAdventures yes mate it went flying with the xmaxx and lived to rc again
How you doing Mr madvan lol
mad van got sent to the moooon! haha too the beating well!!
When you see a top rc content provider sharing love on another channel
Yeah
Kev Kev he's our man, if he can't bash it no-one can👌💯
I absolutely love mine, it’s incredibly fun and takes a beating. I run mine on 3s and haven’t had any issues other than the motor being misaligned after a brutal bash.

They are fun I will give them that. Not so sure I the new one though!
Why not.. I think it looks soooo Kool. Just looking at it makes me smile...
madvan is beautiful and awesome, definitely want one 😀👍👍
MAD VAN, MAD VAN, MAD VAN, MADVANMADVANMADVAAAAANNNN.! 😜 👍 ❤️
Shush 🤫 😡
Proper Laugh. Glad you finally got one Claire... see peer pressure actually works!! Dan's Mad Van copped a big upper cut!! Wow!!
She takes a beating alright! Welcome to the Mad Van fan club lol
Wonder why you hate this thing so much it looks awesome I’d rock a mad van on occasion. Looks like it took some good spills and it’s still ticking
Now she needs a real life van like this. Fits her well
Oh no I’m about to run mine!!!
Ive got to be honest , i really love the look on the mad van ve , so much so I think its the next truck I buy !
Good video there Claire

You had a good time, that's the main thing.
Nice van.
Love your dirty laugh! 😂😂
I thought it was a great truck, worth the donation, even thou you was trying to break it 😎
Kyosho tough baby.
you will love it soon hope u like it
Not much quicker is it..." as then pulls a wheeley at 40mph. In the words of a Knobber...EPIC!
Just like most RCs, it will need some upgrades for the weak parts. I was thinking, it could be turned into a 4x4 Stadium Truck, remove the monster truck wheels & fit 1/10 stadium truck wheels & body. Gear it to suit.
I would love to call this rc car my own. The Mad Van is just epic, but im too poor, so im just enjoying your Content ❤
Represent JJ customs !! That’s right much love from California and all the JJ CUSTOMS family on this side 🙏🏾
yeahh the Fan Van
Amazing footage and awesome MT i love it
hahaha! i woke up and watched this again. i can't help it such a good episode, Claire!
I missed the live guys😔 hello form the keys y'all!!! Thanks for starting this saga Dan!
Good one claire you should try the conquest 10st xlr 2weel drive quit cheap and realy fun i've got one and as far as i now havent seen them on RUclips keep up the good worck you two 👍✌️🇫🇷🇬🇧
loved it
Wow.. it's faster than I thought
Lol, I love anything KYOSHO makes. Yesss I also pay €250 for some mini-Z's.
It tis perdy but not an extreme basher, I would not want to damage that pretty body and the shiny parts.
Lmao I love how the mad van was just an elaborate way to troll Claire 🤣
I was about to fall asleep and I had this video on in the background and all of a sudden I just heard "WHA HAPPEND" and it really threw me off lol
My first rc was the lunch box. 1988 version
Oo that van body is so cool though. Whoa it's fast !
Hey there I have been trying to figure out if a madvan body on a typhon has any chance of working. If you are able to respond that would be amazing. Thanks in advance
Nice to see you're new toy there Claire. 👍🙂
I love my madvan ve..... put a Sway bar on it and that sorts the handling out...... for the price if it this is my favourite go to rc 🤪
Awesome vid!
What’s make this video great was listening to you laughing. The kind of laugh that is real we as viewers can feel. But you have to admit it took a beating
✌🏻😎🏴It’s Fun Fan Mad Van 😂
It’s still landed after being nailed by the Xmax fair play👍🏻.
And it still carried on ripping
Like for Claire to get another one
Awesome Video! love the Vans
I think I need a madvan in my life
Bloody gorgeous, the van is pretty too😁
The body of this truck is just so beautiful tho!
Takes a beating better than Kevs Kraton 😂 I actually like it. It brings back memories of my Tamiya lunchbox when I was a kid😍
I think your going to like the mad van.
You know.... deep down.... you like it.
Love the color tho !!!!!
It'll grow on you (maybe) lol.
Keep smiling guys, and take care.
Don't let Maya party too hard after recovery.
Hahaha mad van to the moon
If this is like being made to eat brussel sprouts then I'd love it! 😂
That was a fun video!
Now that was a funny vid. Te Van isn't exactly my cup of tea, but it took the beating well.
Can’t wait to get one,, I’m gonna name mine Claire 😂😘👍 🔋🔋🔋
Name it claire it will have naughty tendencies 😂
Cool video guys 👊😉
That's a fast little chap
The Brussels sprout of R/C's. 🤣👍
Awesome vid! I also have a madvan, and it's my least favorite car out of the dozen. It's got a cool look to it, but it never holds up for any offroad/skatepark bash. And parts are not readily available from kyosho.
I strongly agree. Parts availability for anything Kyosho is aweful.
This was a great video
Good thing is durable
Come on, it looks cool 😎
Yeah blew my spur and pinion gear on 3s recommend 2s or pay $$ the consequences in non. Readily available replacement parts It's been two months looking for the steel spur 75t 48p gear. Jeeeesh , still don't have it as we speak.
Love it
Hey Clare great video well done very good
Your friend william from NJ Forgettaboutit 👍
She loves the Fan Van really guys.... Needs some MHAP stickers on it though Claire 🤣😂
You lot are crazy 😂😂😂
I'm sorry I'm not sorry for the mad van mischief. Bit like you and kev telling me to get a xmaxx
do it!!!
@@KevinTalbotTV next year one will join my fleet
That’s a pretty cool truck!👍😎 besides who doesn’t like Brussel sprouts! Yummy try roasting them!
Hello
Not great for the skate park, but props to that wheelie bar, looks like its made out of Nokia 😂
Good job!!
ha ha don't want it , laugh all the way through. looks like you may like it now then 😀
Hy i am from indonesia i like your videos 😁😁
Muito legal ! Parabéns!!!!
It needs the A-Team paint job......that's an old USA tv show from the 80's
I know that the a team is 😆 by far my favourite childhood tv show you crazy fool!!
Mad Van vs arrma granite 3s? Who win? 🤔
What did you expect from Kyosho?
I wish I had remembered the Mad Van before I bought the Lunchbox. This is the superior option by far. Faster with better suspension and handling, particularly the steering. And it just looks sweet!
It does but it’s not all that! It rattles things loose every 2 minutes 😆 it is fun though and as you say… it’s pretty!
Claire is honest and that what i love about her channel, she saved me from buying this vehicle. Thank you
☀️Note-I love kyosho , been buying there products for years. Just got the USA-1
Claire gets me. And my spouts trauma.
she secretly loves it
😎❤️ Love you Claire my best advice xlx2 1100 and send it to the Moon 😁😂😁😂
Saw you on Talbot's RUclips, thought I'd check this out!
(If you don't want that car, I will take it! :)
Hello and welcome 🤗 think we will
Stick with it for now 😆
i'll happaly look after it for you haha, it looks so cool!!
I fed my sprouts to the dog under the table ;)
Come on.. it's not bad... It's nice
Awesome video as usual ! I’m still debating whether to get a van that’s angry (mad) or not ! Maybe someone should let me have a go with one at some time
See I new you loved them
It does looks good tho
love the vid claire
Like number 400 what gps app do you guys use
Claire it looks amazing in joy it lol 😂 good on them all u deserve it
What hapen claries take it easy 😊😊
Oh Claire, we love ya so.. but the wheelie bar is not for lawn darts..
Should try the kyosho usa1 nitro
That's a Mad Van !
Pretty cool, and your reluctance is hilarious! I don't want to like it lol!
Wow nice.its for sale?
To the moon 😂
I would love to have that body
It would probably make you smile if you tried repairing a RC rather than your husband doing it all the time ....respect!!!!!
Tell you what… how about I repair, he films and edits 😆 end of channel! We all have our strengths! I for one cannot hold a screwdriver due to nerve damage and he can’t film for 💩 let alone edit 🤣
