Tomley, I just want to say early congrats on 50K Subs! I love your passion that you have for this hobby, and for RUclips as it shows! I'm proud to say I've known of you since the earlier days of your channel and only see continued growth and success in your future! If only all RUclipsrs could be as stand up as you. Keep up the great work! 👍😁⚓
Cheers Guys. As you are well aware... there can be lots of negativity on this platform which can easily discourage you from doing or saying stuff , for the last 18 months or so I've kept in my lane, ignored what others think and just got on with it. Honestly It's been the most enjoyable time so far! Thanks for the Support on here, and via email over the last 12 months or so.
That intro made my toes curl! I absolutely love this truck, this might be one that I would keep on 2s, especially with that gorgeous body lol! Thanks as always, good sir!
The Best Part About this Van For Me Is I can Watch all you RUclipsrs Go Mad With Yours and i can Dial Mine down to half way on two S and still pull a wheelie and keep it in shelf queen looking machine that it is - so love this truck and so cool now that i've put in the light kit from Ebay for only a Fiver looks super scale even more now cheers Tomley Love your channel my friend Gotta Chat some time soon Buds.
I just want to thank you for everything you do I've been stuck in the hospital for a while now and you have brought me a smile with every video hopefully I'll be out soon so I can play with mine it's just a redcat gen 7 stock but I enjoy it
awesome video and i'm glad that your tail lens didn't fall out of place like on the first video that i saw with this van. hahaha! keep up the good work my friend. cheers!
Yes, always nice to get some recognition from bigger RUclipsrs.... although I do get a lot from my Subs as well. All is very much appreciated and motivates me to keep at it 😎👍
Hi buddy your almost there , great little truck and love the candy red my favourite colour, kyosho putting on the style they don't build bad car's full stop , hope the transmission is ok and not tomely'd I do believe I've invented a new word all the best mate not only a great promoter of the sport but a very generous and genuine person to boot
The start of the video had me laughing, funny seeing it skidding by on its roof. I would like to have one it looks awesome. It seems surprisingly stable when you were bashing it around.
Hi Phil. You got some great shots in the bash segment. Good to see that the plastic roof bits saved the body in the speed test. Mine still sounds really screechy at speed like there is something wrong with it but I've had it apart and can't find anything. That clicking noise you had at the end does sound like something else. Hope your gears are ok!
I have a horrible feeling it’s the front diff. Going to strip it down to check later on in the week. Glad you enjoyed it... I’m getting good at one handed driving
That look like quite a basher! Wow, you're super close to 50k. Aside from the giveaway, you have anything fun planned for a 50k celebration video? Great job!
Need to shim the diff ring gear and input gear. Kyosho don't do this, so the gears last 5-10 packs if you're lucky. It was the same with the original MV. 12x15 for the diff, 5x7 for the input. Rather than add these from the factory, Kyosho fitted gardened gears but irs not solved the cause. Odd, as a shim is so cheap... The original chewed up spurs too, in less than a pack sometimes. There's a 32dp upgrade that works a treat. Other things to do are get the diff seals and fill them with oil plus add 350cst shock oil and check they're not leaking, as they all seem to. To keep the front down, add weights, its such a light thing that they just flip.
@@TomleyRC happy to help :) Come say hi on Facebook, have a small group for the MV on there with upgrades and all the info to get it working just right.
The Mrs and I have both of the Mad Vans. We are almost finished with our fully upgraded Mad Van original and it now has a 4000kv 3s brushless system in it. We’re waiting on pinion gears ⚙️ and then we’re on to speed runs and some serious bashing.
3s pumpkin is quite honestly a silly idea even with a few mods..... upsets some people thought 😀..well untill you come to anything which remotely resembles a corner 😳....keep going Tomley,,great variety mate..👍🇬🇧😎
I won mine in hobby comps and I absolutely love it…. Once you get used to the handling of the 3s you wouldn’t go back to 2s… only thing I’d recommend is open your diffs and make sure they are greased!
if i got mine free i'd probably love it too, at least then i wouldn't mind having to constantly replace parts that keep breaking because they weren't made to handle the power and big wheels..........
@@abruptlyblunt I’ve since sold mine 🫣🤣 I loved the look of it and racing it on speed runs but anything else and It would chew the front gear and you had to wait up to 3 months for a replacement 🙄 I now have the rival mt10 and it’s in a league of its own with a 16t pinion gear taking it up to 48mph on 3s with no issues so far 😊🤞
I never noticed a battery get better ever but I did yesterday for the first time. My lipo 80c Golbat 2s woke Right up in the Gen 8 yesterday on the mud run 👊😀 It was so fun This could use some mudder tires it’s nice 😁👌🙂👍
This thing is a classic, Im pretty sure I remember contemplating buying one back when the traxxas tmaxx came out, I went with the tmaxx but I would have kept this one running just the same =)
I love you videos. I've been watching a lot of them recently. Have you ever thought about doing a review on the PXtoys 9302? I would really love a video on it. Seems like a fun little RC.
The jump free 2s to 3s was impressive I wasn’t expecting that much . At first I thought you were getting ready to say the GPS wasn’t reading it correctly. Awesome video Phil . I have to get one of these .
Man that thing is a little ripper 🤘🤘🤘👍 I'm thinking of getting bigfoot body shell for cen hl150 and these wheels and turn the cen in two bigfoot think it would look good with the shell and the white wheels off of one of these 👍👍👍👍
Had mine over a year now whant two do some thing different would like two get the on axial sevo mounts two make it 4 wheel steering it's a good truck as well bud done a lot of up grades on mine all from chaos from steering knuckles 2 straight axle carriers front hub carriers and I've also done chaos diff covers front and back and I got the upgraded bearing kit which I will point out definitely worth it the barrens what coming the truck seem to disagree hence the reason for the upgrade love the channel two my man keep um comin bud 👍👍👍
It's like a candy red looks awesome man I'd like two get one of these but I just got the kyosho fazer ve-x evo rally car so will have two wait till I can get one awesome man 👍👍👍✌
Impressive stuff! Would controllability be improved on-road with some different wheels / tyres? I know that's not the point of the Mad Van but I can see there'll be a future video out there of 100km/h + runs with these things.
very nice! I'm more impressed with the 2s performance - thought the 3s was good, but not a big enough step up to worry about. Plus 2 was better controlled. Keep on rolling the content! awesome 👍🍺
I have a Stampede 4x4 VXL which is standard apart from proline mx38's, brute bash body, mips and some extra cooling and the performance on 3s looks comparable to the mad van, I love going across a park at 35-40mph pulling 50m long wheelie while keeping then throttle pegged, it would go further but usually topples off to one side.

@@TomleyRC truly inspiring for a late entry to RC like myself. Thanks! Also-invite to RC is always there should you visit NL! Cheers!
Two of my favorite channels!
agreed
@@TomleyRC it’s amazing to me, the incredible amount of negativity comes from adults playing with toys that are designed to bring joy.
That intro made my toes curl! I absolutely love this truck, this might be one that I would keep on 2s, especially with that gorgeous body lol! Thanks as always, good sir!
2s is all this needs 😎👌

Haha... that’s a good point you have there! Cheers for watching 😎👌
I put a light kit on mine and I'm only running on 2s. Seems perfect on 2s
Love the Mad Van reminds me of the Lunchbox when I was a kid. As always the videos are great. Glad I found your channel my son and I both watch it.
Yes... has some Lunchbox Vibes about it 😎
I just want to thank you for everything you do I've been stuck in the hospital for a while now and you have brought me a smile with every video hopefully I'll be out soon so I can play with mine it's just a redcat gen 7 stock but I enjoy it
Glad I’ve been some help dude
I might be the only one to comment on the thumbnail, but that thumbnail is 🔥! Nice work.
One comment is all I need to know it had an impact 😎👌. Took me 4 different backgrounds before I choose the perfect one. Appreciate it dude
awesome video and i'm glad that your tail lens didn't fall out of place like on the first video that i saw with this van. hahaha! keep up the good work my friend. cheers!
Yes... all held together well!
I've never once purchased a rc car new but I believe after this video that will be changed!!! This looks to be a proper basher rc!!
Looks good.... drives good 😎👌
What a cool bash!
Nice of the Saylor to congratulate you on reaching 50k subs, too.
Yes, always nice to get some recognition from bigger RUclipsrs.... although I do get a lot from my Subs as well. All is very much appreciated and motivates me to keep at it 😎👍
These things look so cool. I almost got a brushed model last year....but NOW seriously considering picking one up!

Your bashing footage was epic!! Great editing. Need to rewind that now. 👍🏼
Thanks dude
Wow it is so fast Phil absolutely love it what a mad van hehe cant wait till you hit 50K btw matey!😉😄
Haha... he’s as excited as me 🤣
Wow! Pretty amazing truck, Tomley! 😃
Fast as hell! I loved it! 😂
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Yes... pretty quick!
Great video didn't expect that speed Great video I love the truck keep up the great videos 👍
Cheers John
It's awesome. Thanks for pushing it to the limit.
That is highly impressive no doubt, the on "EDGE" running 3s in things, one has to admit it's a rush lol! Good stuff as always my friend.
Cheers mate
@@TomleyRC 🍻
Your edits on the 2s bash were spectacular!!!
Thanks Marc.... one hand driving, one hand recording
I think Kyosho builds some great vehicles, they just don't get a lot of attention. This truck is pretty quick and tough.
Yes, they are pretty ‘classy’ as well
Absolutely love the look of this beast. Awesome 👍😎
And congrats on the 50K brother
I always thought Kyosho were all about racing, but the mad van looks great!
Now I need a Kyosho. Always loved the mad van but promised no more brushed bashers. Yay cheers!!!
Just discovered your channel mate, is awesome, love it, thanks you so much!
This cracked me up - "Watch this lads... rolling wheelie" good good😆
That flip actually got me worried I don't normally care much about bodies but that one is just to nice to destroy. Looks like Much more fun on 2s.
Yes... I may have to get a new one just for the shelf!
@@TomleyRC yes I would!! wonder if you can get them without the wheelie bar cut out
The start of the video had me laughing, funny seeing it skidding by on its roof. I would like to have one it looks awesome. It seems surprisingly stable when you were bashing it around.
Haha
Such a beauty, and hits some great numbers on both 2s and 3s.

No plans for 50k... big plans for the future though
Always fancied the brushed version and after watching this I think the brushless version will become a part of me collection quality vid 👌👍👍👍
Yes... I may still get a Brushed as well. If the price comes down a bit 👌
Look forward to tour vids.
Saw the headsup had to pull over to watch it.
Lol
Wow what a mad van love your camera work mate think it would take all my skills just to control the van lol 👍
Thanks dude... bash not at the end was one handed as well 😎👌
thanks for saying hi to me Tomley ;D
No probs dude
Good stuff, that's real quick on 3s! I've already busted my body so will have to run it on 3s now 😁. Great bashing too! 👍
Oops... new bodies aren’t cheap are they!
@@TomleyRC That's right, but my biggest issue is not being able to find one! lol
great vid all around!
Thanks mate... appreciate it 😎🤟
Kyosho was spot on with the roof skids... Nice rip bro, I'm feeling a skate park run coming next ?
Yes... roof skids saved the day! No Skate park for this.... not yet anyway haha
@@TomleyRC I'm going to go dust off my " Vibrant Vannie " ...
Bin sub for while u crack me up having fun congrats. And first scratch is the worst lol
Haha... cheers dude
Awesome RC Van
The color reminds me of the diesel red aftershave bottle 😂
The slow-mo noo! 😂😂👏
Yeah haha... so lucky to not damage the body! Phew!
It’s just as fast upside down lol 😂 great vid mate !!
Hahaha
Great video, great kit, it really in the speed range of 1/8 buggy
Thanks dude
so close to the 50k, nice video when mad van slid on its roof i thought paint would be FUBAR but no
Haha... yeah, I was genuinely scared it was gonna be scratched to pieces
Kyosho van is crazy!
Certainly is!

Battery choice can make a big difference!
amazing looking machine, its a truck to have fun with like a lunchbox... not a basher or a racer but its sure fast when you keep it planted.
Yeah... exactly that... a fun ‘casual’ Basher
Those things are pretty sweet, I gotta have one !
I love that van it looks so cool 😎
It's so beautiful
It's a beautiful monster
Certainly is 😎👌
love your vids
Thank you 😎
This thing is a classic, Im pretty sure I remember contemplating buying one back when the traxxas tmaxx came out, I went with the tmaxx but I would have kept this one running just the same =)
Mine sounds the same as yours. Works good, no problems.
This one is loads of fun, reason why it didn't fail on 3S, because it kyosho, Japanese quality.
I believe that
Kyosho is a solid company, id love to see them build some serious bashers like a competition to the kraton
@@restinpiecesrc5528 That would be awsome addition to their line
I love you videos. I've been watching a lot of them recently.
Have you ever thought about doing a review on the PXtoys 9302? I would really love a video on it. Seems like a fun little RC.
These have the most georgeous paint.like a crome red..like to truck body chrome or blue
Looking forward too much cool cool stuff ☑️💯👉👍
Cheers dude
The jump free 2s to 3s was impressive I wasn’t expecting that much . At first I thought you were getting ready to say the GPS wasn’t reading it correctly. Awesome video Phil . I have to get one of these .
Yes... big difference! Cheers for watching dude
You probably did what I did to my Mad Van VE and broke teeth off of the ring gear in the front differential. Now it's a waiting game for parts
Yes... need to have a closer look I think
Just look at it☺👍👍
49.4K. Good for you! I always check for your videos. A lot of fun.
Cheers dude
Great review! I just bought it in yellow 👌
Question what watch are you wearing in this review? It looks cool. Thanks.

Cheers dude. Timex PAC-Man edition
This van is a blast it so seems.would get one run it 3s and have a new body on standby. Would need a bashing body and a shelf body
Yes... It should come with a clear one for painting and bashing
@@TomleyRC yes that would be ideal
Amazing!
😁 You know what I call it...... BEAUTY! 🤣😂🤣😛
B E A U T Y indeed Steve!
The horror seeing it upside down!! 😭😭 How effective where those body protectors 👍🏻👍🏻
Yes... such a relief!
京商👍👍👍
Awesome 😎😎😎
Cheers dude
I love this car! the 4000 kv suits him so well!
In France almost impossible to find to date :(
Definitely a sweet van... I have the original madvan and plan on making it brushless. Should only cost around $150!
Bargain 😎👌
Impressive stuff! Would controllability be improved on-road with some different wheels / tyres? I know that's not the point of the Mad Van but I can see there'll be a future video out there of 100km/h + runs with these things.
Yeah... less ballooning would mean better control for sure 👌
very nice! I'm more impressed with the 2s performance - thought the 3s was good, but not a big enough step up to worry about. Plus 2 was better controlled. Keep on rolling the content! awesome 👍🍺
2s is certainly the best option 😅
Just subscribed a few minutes ago, and I got this noti a few seconds ago...
Haha... good timing!
@@TomleyRC yeah hehe
Got to say its realy good car all in all
Yes, agree
Do you think a drag bar would help when checking how fast your cars are ??
VanGang gang!!!
I think I’m going to get this van. Or do you have any suggestions for a big tire four-wheel-drive basher? I like the monster truck tires
Rival MT10 or one of the Arrma 3s would be a better ‘Basher’
I have a Stampede 4x4 VXL which is standard apart from proline mx38's, brute bash body, mips and some extra cooling and the performance on 3s looks comparable to the mad van, I love going across a park at 35-40mph pulling 50m long wheelie while keeping then throttle pegged, it would go further but usually topples off to one side.
The Stampede looks fun... I might have to get one
I can say first hand pretty solid rc, the stampede 4x4. Though mips are great for half price the teknos are no joke
Nice 👍
