Nothing like the smell of nitro in the morning... or at any time of day lol. I 100% agree that you just can't beat the sound of a nitro engine running perfectly!
I love the fact that your still showing us the nitrous! Its where my love for rc began! I have a lot of great memories running my savage and tmaxx! Thanks Kev!
Only thing i dont like nitro.s is they sound like someone's got a red hot poker up their rear end they always seem to be reving so high when theres no throttle on too but each to their own
If someone tossed me the controller I wouldn't say no, but I"m not picking up a part time job of owning a nitro r/c again though lol. This video is the exact experience many t-maxx owners had circa early 2000's. Spend a whole morning tuning, break a part, fix a part, another half tank of gas, break a part etc. Frustrating experience. Remember swapping the crystals and having runaways? hahahaha
Everyone wants a Nitro after they have a shot of yours until they see how many things go wrong in the average bashing session. Last time I took mine out I accidentally hit a car tyre, bent the front left driveshaft, took the front shafts out to make it 2WD and kept driving, then the engine mounts came loose and started to strip the gears, fixed that then the OWB went on the roto start.... it never ends. Found out the hard way too that the safety cutoff is useless if the servo dies on full throttle, just pray it happens in a space you can do donuts in until you can pick it up. Still good fun though.
I still run ony nitro. I've learned the secret is to just take at least 3 cars everywhere. Then your guaranteed at least an hour of running ( including tinkering time) before their all dead. Motor issues are actually pretty damn rare after learning how to deal with them for so long. But just all the vibration invites bits and pices to come lose. Clutch, gearbox and basically anything that can come lose is usualy what takes them down. And of course you can't red locktite everything. Oh yeh... and curbs/poles... that takes a lot of them down. But you can't blame the car.
I know what you mean Kev, there's something about Nitro that makes the electric cars feel a bit soulless. Mick tuned that thing perfect. Amazing what a difference a good tune can make.
Yea i had got a nitro for my first rc then i used electric for like 3 years then I started up my trophy 4.6 after it was sitting and it was just such a vibe
Guys.... come on 🤪 it is an engine not a toy electric motor. It has to warm up before bashing and needs to be adjusted (and broken in “properly”). Nitro is what the hobby is about. It takes “play” to an activity (transforms a “play thing” to an actual hobby). Plz just take the time and patience to learn something about them. You will have more fun then you ever will with an electric. If you don’t want to show the break in process then just don’t film it. The goal should be to encourage growth in the hobby. Not knowing how to change the oil in your car (for example) is not an excuse to let it run dry and seize up. Then blame it on the car/manufacture and say that it sucks. On that note, Kev I love to see you exploring more of the cars/trucks out there. Gives all of us a chance to see stuff we may not have yet. I’m looking forward to an update on the 203Mph and the new Nitro touring car you got. Hehe. 😋
Wonder how many Nitro's people will get this christmas where they just fill it up with fuel and thrash it until something breaks, doomed to be retired to the cupboard for 10 years.
@@TheNamesArif no no. I’m making more of a general statement to the majority of Nitro haters in the hobby right now. There is a place for both nitro and electric. I have both and they both are fun and have strengths in different ways Obviously or at least it appears that Nitro it is a love hate relationship with Kev to a degree but, he makes it very clear that he enjoys it. Not everyone is going to like everything others do/have. It is important that folks like Kev, etc shows the good/bad but, just make sure comments about like, “it sucks” or “it’s the best in the world” without actually learning and trying doesn’t help things. Also “the best” is very much a relative term. I personally think Kev does a good job to show the pros/cons without just saying “it sucks”. I just hope folks watch the whole video to get his full impression instead of stoping the vid halfway through. LoL
What an awesome truck! I don't miss the headache of messing with a nitro RC engine but it's a really cool experience seeing and hearing this little engine screaming and shifting gears!
I’ve always loved to work on mechanical things and getting too old (56 now) and crippled to work on real cars or motorcycles much anymore… So I was thinking of getting into a new “scaled down” hobby, and RC cars have always appealed to me… After watching your video about a half dozen times I decided I would buy this Kyosho monster truck - and last week - I ordered one!! Nitro version, of course!! Along with all the other stuff one needs to run it. The truck is supposed to be here tomorrow. I decided to show my wife this video so she could see what I bought - every time I watched it, I fast forwarded past the manscape thing… I didn’t when we both watched. So we were both a little surprised to find out there’s a kit available to help me shave my balls and ass!! Anyway, new to the RC hobby, ordered my 1st RC monster truck, and decided to do so mostly because of your videos!! Just wanted to say Thank You and hope you keep doing what your doing!! Can’t wait for that monster truck to get here… (-:
I was worried about Kyosho until a couple years ago.....not worried one bit anymore! 😍 Old school USA1 looks, mad force chassis....I wished for this since the late 90s and they finally made it!!!
I wish all youtubers did ads like you. the ball bit is funny as heck, I fast forward through all other youtubers videos when they are plugging their sponsors. your the only one I will watch religiously. Much love form the USA.
Excellent!!! It ran super after a tune... Driving through a lipo fire hahahaha Gold!! I'll say one thing.. you're one hell of a salesman Kev!! Love the editing too!!
Sorry to hear about your troubles in you last vide ,I'm still waiting and very excited for land speed car. Kevin keep up good works and happy times you bring many smiles with your video s
Dude Kev... That is the first time ever that I didn't fast forward through a product pitch. You sir are hilarious! Nothing funnier than Kev pitching ball products!
Those kyosho brand made in china engines weren't too flash, the o-rings in the low end needle never used to seal properly and they would hunt all over the place and untune themselves. Force engine the best thing to happen to kyosho nitro rtr.
Lee Mollison absolutely agree with you. I promised a buddy of mine that i would give him a new engine if he took out the old kyosho engine so i could smash it to pieces. I said to him not to judge nitro because of that engine. He is more a electric guy,and i wanted to make him see how much fun nitro is when tuned and maintained the right way. I took a long steel rod and smashed it while he where laughting his ass off. He still has that engine on his shelf as a memory. 😂
@@thomasteigen2793 Yeah, bad nitro engines are likely a big reason so many peope dont like nitros. Trying to tune sth like a Traxxas 3.3 is a nightmare.
Had a very rough day today, so i decided to watch some old Kev videos to chear me up. The ad in this video really put a smile on my face. Thanks Kev! Love your work!
little tip for running a nitro when its cold, preheat the engine before staring it. I always use a thick towl and wrap it around the engine so it is a bit warmer when starting it.
The way Kevin just drove over the lipo puts the electric rc cars to shame hahahah nice one Kevin that made me laugh especially the energetic power you give on all of your videos it always make my day
First time ever watching an in video ad. Loved it. Never really considered ball hair or smell, crack hair or any other familiar particulars. Maybe though…….
I can remember when these first released. Drooled over one for two years. I don't recall the 3spd trans. I do remember debating if going nitro was worth losing the 4 wheel steering of the electric model. It was early days of .21 engines... and it was a huge deal when they came out, because the only previous competitor was the .15 2wd Nitro Brute, or a Clod Buster notro conversion kit.
I might have to buy one of these , recently got into the scale monster trucks with the Losi LMT , and I’ve always been a nitro guy. Looks fun great video too!
I remember buying the electric version in the early 1990's. There was nothing close to it's size or performance back then, especially with a seven cell pack of matched Sanyo SCRC (black) nicad cells.
Wow memories! This was the first RC I built together with my dad and brother! Although that was the old version (around year 2000) which was very different! This looks like the newer Kyosho Mad something, that they have rebranded as the USA-1. Also, where did all the kits go?! I hate ready to run... ☹️
I have two of the old version of this thing. (the Mad Force). They are the most fun I have ever had with RC. Put a PRP .27 in these and they will actually go fast enough to explode the tires.
You are absolutely right Dude, regardless of how the general pros & cons weigh out. Nitro is simply soooooooo cooooooollllls I’m in love w how It’s even more so like ur controlling a monster truck that’s been tossed ina shrink ray rather than an rc car ‼️‼️‼️‼️
I love this new Kyosho USA-1 nitro truck. The design is awesome and the body looks great. The decals match the real USA-1 monster truck as it is today, so that's super splendid. I'm using an OS .30 VG engine and it's really nice. I just replaced the 3 speed gears with stainless steel gears I got on ebay. Will see how they perform soon.
100% AGREE!! Nitro was a huge PIA, but even MORE FUN than that! Loved my Raminator, which I upgraded everything into LST2 spec (came as old LST1 - way of selling off old stock ... !!) and with an LRP 32 in it - loud, fast, powerful ... did I say LOUD? !! Stinky as well - LOVED IT. Neighbours didn't, so I converted it to 6S LiPo electric ... now sold off several years ago. Still preferred NITRO. Al.

@@leadgindairy3709 i typed nitro and my phone auto corrected
That is unbelievable! Nothing beats the old skool monster truck look!
Nitro takes skill, knowledge and patience. That's what makes them awesome. Proper break in and a proper tune and your good to go!
I'm not sure we just witnessed a 'proper break-in'.
The sound is just unbeatable! There’s just something about Nitro!
Only thing i dont like nitro.s is they sound like someone's got a red hot poker up their rear end they always seem to be reving so high when theres no throttle on too but each to their own
What an angry swarm of bees
I grew up watching USA 1 and Bigfoot going head to head. Great memories. Be great to ad one of these to the collection
Got an old book laying around somewhere of the OG Bigfoot with those 12ft high tyres. Imagine a blowout on one of those.

Found out the hard way too that the safety cutoff is useless if the servo dies on full throttle, just pray it happens in a space you can do donuts in until you can pick it up. Still good fun though.
And then I get my Mad Crusher GP out, throw some fuel in the tank, prime it, give it one tug, and I'm off doing wheelies.
I cant count the amount of times my HPI rs4 lost range and ran away, good times lol
I still run ony nitro. I've learned the secret is to just take at least 3 cars everywhere. Then your guaranteed at least an hour of running ( including tinkering time) before their all dead. Motor issues are actually pretty damn rare after learning how to deal with them for so long. But just all the vibration invites bits and pices to come lose. Clutch, gearbox and basically anything that can come lose is usualy what takes them down. And of course you can't red locktite everything. Oh yeh... and curbs/poles... that takes a lot of them down. But you can't blame the car.
no problems with mine. just learn the basics and don't be afraid of'em.
Nice to see you supporting nitro
I know what you mean Kev, there's something about Nitro that makes the electric cars feel a bit soulless. Mick tuned that thing perfect. Amazing what a difference a good tune can make.
completely transforms the car
Yea i had got a nitro for my first rc then i used electric for like 3 years then I started up my trophy 4.6 after it was sitting and it was just such a vibe
That's a really well thought out explanation :)

I know Jack shit about rc nitro but it seemed obvious it wasn't tuned or warmed up properly. Ide be stoked with a nitro rc for xmas
you're wording it like kev hate it. he shows the pros and cons. he didn't say he hate nitro

3:02 is awesome man 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣💯
Looks old school
Like what rc cars used to look like back in the day
It's a re-release of a model they had 30 years ago, and a scale replica of an actual Monster Truck
I liked it the second I saw that knife flip and catch
Kyosho, my fav RC Brand. The USA 1 is very nice btw. 👍

Excellent video! Your editing looks like you have a professional film crew!
I am so glad Kyosho brought back the USA-1. I admit I would probably keep it as a shelf queen, though. Mainly, because of the body.
“1:01” is golden😂😂
Sick video! This is my favorite truck! I loved my first one so much I bought a second one!
Nothing beats that 3-speed shifting sound!!
So much to choose from at the moment with nitros. T-maxx, Revo, Savage, usa-1. It's nice....
In the late 80’s I had the original Kyosho USA1 that was electric. This is a sweet upgraded version.
