This truck is the reason I've got back in the hobby.always wanted a solid axle mt and this re-release came out the perfect time.It's been great fun so far, haven't regretted spending 500 quid for jt
That’s such a sweet spot you get to run your cars in the grass, assuming it gets mowed regularly of course. It’s always fun to watch cars cruise over natural terrain. My son would love that truck because of the realism. One day, I think I get a monster truck RC
I took mine out this weekend and it's definitely bashable. Not 'brutal grade' bashing. But you don't have to be afraid to take a tumble. It's deceptively strong and things flex where they need to. That said, The steering is definitely laggy as hell. Worse, I did the 4WS conversion and now all 4 wheels are laggy. So you end up with a ton of oversteer by the time you realize you've gone too far. Very frustrating at high speeds. I installed a parallel adapter on the batteries and it's far more manageable at 2s. I hear somewhere they make a axle based servo mount for this chassis. Dual axle mounted HS/HT servos will likely be the ticket for me.
That looks like a ton of fun! Like a real monster truck in that if you floor it all you'll see is sky! I assume it has proportional steering as well as throttle? I think that looks properly cool as well, actually looks like a monster truck compared to most bashers, i know that is to lower the center of gravity that they are so low, kratons and the like, but i do love a more realistic looking MT style basheroonie
I heard this was coming out, and I'm glad I waited. when the lmt came out I almost went for it. But I'm super stoked that this came back. Anybody want to buy my drag car, all decked out With plenty of goodies.
The same steering mech from the old mad armour i jave in shed from about 10 years ago lol , the best way to overcome it is to do the axel servo mount mod,, the drive shaft setups the same too, i put some carbon strips on the arms stops them flexing, other than that tjo there badboys, great bash man
In stead of fighting the drive shaft bolt you should have just undone the rear trailing arms front bolts so much easier lol, oh well nice truck though had one a long time ago never used it so sold it NIB.
I have a losi lmt which is a blast to drive and own. Highly recommend one for you to check out. Will have get one of these one day too. I love real monster trucks and find the solid axle monster trucks extremely fun! Great video!
I got it from Japan but I don't no about it much it came broken to our shop the engine was broken but I took out the nitro engine and placed a 745 brushed motor and 480A esc can take 4s
I have an original USA-1 in the attic with 2 stripped spur gears. I built it and my friend put 23 turn motor in it and broke it. I haven't touched it in 28 years
I have the double dare which apart from the wheels and body is the same truck bought it as a roller still not fitted electronics that was 2 years ago lol
Had the first version of that truck .all the steering linkages suck , shocks keep snapping off the axles , chain kept falling off after wear, can’t believe kyosho kept this badly but cool chassis for so long with so many problems
Is no dirt around 🤔.... I don't recall any of your videos on... Let's go find a big open dirt field... Kick up some rooster tails and send some dirt up to space... No fun on grass ☹️
Phil, just thought I'd mention.... with certain vehicles showcased, I'm not always that interested - such as this one. I can watch a bashing video anywhere, anytime, as you know, so when the vid turns out to be a basher with the U.S. flag plastered all over it, I don't usually watch, but I do let it play to the end while I go make a coffee. You go to the trouble of recording & editing a video so at least I can help your metrics a bit, here & there.
The steering on these has always been awful, it's just a terrible design. The fact that Kyosho have never really updated it (like moving the servo on to the axle or even closer to the front axle so the linkage isn't the length of a bus) is a head scratcher, this is the 7,000,000th iteration of the mad force chassis now. Otherwise, the Mad force VE is a great truck. I get through axle housing like mad on 6s though, they aren't designed particularly well (outer axle housings are located by self tapping screws going into plastic) so have to keep a few in stock and swap it every few runs when it pulls out.
The Losi LMT is better in every way but I am a Losi Fan because they are awesome 👍 Losi shocks are so plush and amazing.. The Kyosho looks great but I am sure I would break it on the 1st run 🤔

Your literally me from across the pond. I too got back into the hobbit based what u said! Get mine on Saturday!
I am pleased to see you have Acknowledged your resemblance to Peter Billingsley. My work here is done.
I’ve been wanting this mainly from the nostalgia factor but now seeing it run. This is one awesome basher. Great video Tomley!
Thanks dude
The nitro version of this is EPIC. 3-speed shifting is rare nowadays, I posted a bash video a few days back.
Nice video 👍, subbed
Great looking truck. I picked up the nitro version to keep in interesting😊 Excellent bash👍
3 Speed Baby! 😅
@@TomleyRC 3 speed works juuuuust fine with a cpl nice blobs of white lithium on the needle bearings Tomley. but since you hate nitro...
Your choice of music is always great, keep up the great videos
The end montage was wicked mate
Great video, this thing is monster.
Love the footage, and the honesty of your videos
🔝

I like your reviews and humour Ralphie, I hope Christmas is good for you and your family.
Now that looks like a fun truck! Great spot to use it as well
Yes.. perfect terrain for it

Pretty impressive truck, Tomley!!! 😃
Fantastic bashing there! And yeah, keep a bag of tools in the car! 😂
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Yeah… I need to have a tool kit on board haha
Looks like you were having fun!
The mogul field is interesting terrain . Nice video👍
The retro look is awesome
Yes I love
Hi it is so good to see u again with a new video
Thanks dude
Always fun to watch you bash.
Very informative and showed the pros and cons of the beast
That’s hilarious I told someone you were Ralphy and they fell for it . too funny. That’s insane it makes the clod buster look tame.
Order placed using your link! Thanks for your video!
Thanks Roy. You'll love it :)

I absolutely love this! Great truck, great Job Phil!💯👊🏼🔥🔥🔥☕️
Cheers dude
Ha! Love the thumbnail!!! 😂
😅
Love Rc
Beautiful Track! Nice video 😀
Aww, your baby picture is so cute! 🤪🤣🎄🦵
I haven't been so excited for anything to this level for awhile now! I am so excited! Great video. Loved the action shots with the music at the end!
awesome rc, very cool indeed,
"and if you know your arrmas, thats alot of loctite" =LMFAO ! too funny
Haha… yes, that’s a lot of Loctite!

Nice
I love the thumbnail pal!!
Handled one of these at the local shop. Still honeymooning with my LMT but this will eventually be mine. I like most all that kyosho makes nowadays!
😁👍 It's a Beauty!
BEAUTY!
Nice bash!
got mine on pre-order...can't wait!!
Reminds me of old school bashing with a tougher faster truck Pretty dang cool ✌️
These are awesome mate aren’t they, sort that steering and the bouncy shocks and it will be a great basher.
Gotta say I'd rather this to the Xmaxx awesome looking rig that m8
It’s certainly a good looking truck!
That is a damn nice truck,love it👌👍👍😃😃
Show
I honestly want this truck... but it's too pretty to drive it. It would be a shelf queen if I did buy it.
That shelf would need some serious depth 😄 it's a beauty I agree
Yeah.. it’s very good looking!
@@TomleyRC tomly do a video of the kyosho 1:9 DRX 18 engine nitro buggy please
I've removed all the usa 1 bits and im running it with an old hpi hemi body instead.doesnt have to be a shelf queen
@@DustyFingersRC 😂😂😂😂
Handles well.... crash..... Jinxed yourself AGAIN, man that's the main reason I tune in.
Haha.. always
I like the looks of it. I might have to look into this to race against my losi lmt,lol.
In stead of fighting the drive shaft bolt you should have just undone the rear trailing arms front bolts so much easier lol, oh well nice truck though had one a long time ago never used it so sold it NIB.
I got a Revo 3.3 I converted to Electric Mamba Monster X 8s 1520 motor 22 pinion and 37 spur 70 mph originally only went 45
Sounds mental!
i wanted the mad crusher ve just for the chain. i like unique rcs
Yes, I was after one a few years back as well
Eu tbm tenho um MCD
I have a losi lmt which is a blast to drive and own. Highly recommend one for you to check out. Will have get one of these one day too. I love real monster trucks and find the solid axle monster trucks extremely fun! Great video!
Looks like it needs 6S or higher gearing to get some air control. Higher gearing might also tame the wheelies.
Yes… certainly doesn’t need any more power, but a bit more wheel speed may help for the bigger jumps
Earliest I've been. 1 minute. Coffee made, let's see what this is all about!
Coffee… now ya talking!
Kyosho has done chain drive for so long
I got it from Japan but I don't no about it much it came broken to our shop the engine was broken but I took out the nitro engine and placed a 745 brushed motor and 480A esc can take 4s
Cool sir 🙏😁
It’s a brushless mad force isn’t it I did have nitro madforce back in the day with its 3 speed was great
I have an original USA-1 in the attic with 2 stripped spur gears. I built it and my friend put 23 turn motor in it and broke it. I haven't touched it in 28 years
Wow… classic!
I have the double dare which apart from the wheels and body is the same truck bought it as a roller still not fitted electronics that was 2 years ago lol

How does it compare to the losi lmt?
What a great location
IF you don’t do anything stupid. Lol Loved seeing it in its proper environment. 👍
🔝 good
Looks like a heap hopper load of deadly! are replacement parts costly?
I knew you were the kid from a Christmas story
Needs a shock swap as well

That's why that's why you should drywall tape and shoe glue
Yeah.. although I did that to my Rival MT10 and it only lasted a few bashes
getting sent gets lost in translation when it crosses an ocean.

Appreciate it Al… although I understand that not everyone is interested in all the content I showcase. Coffee is a good way to pass the time 😎
Muito lindo
been out of the RC game for 25 years... how long do the batteries last these days?
There’s my house again 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tomly did you checked the kyosho 1:9 scale DRX 18 engine buggy. You told me yes ok I'll check
Where is this location? Would be perfect for me and the kids with their cars
It’s almost like they want it to stick Scale Monster Truck Competitions like what you see Jconcepts cover.
Yes.. although I’ve heard it’s a bit wide for a normal Monster Truck competition
Awwwwe that’s a bummer
🔝
I meant to ask you if you played in a Christmas story
Fun video!
LMT > USA-V1 😜
*USA-1

So more of a semi-basher
Yes 👍
Nice bud👍🇨🇦👊🙌😁🤡

Guys say this drives better , its wider but im losi guy too lmt is a tank , if get this I won't go crazy , or wear them out like the lmt .
I can't see why I would get this over a massively cheaper MT10 or a slightly more expensive Maxx tbh
You have to be solely into monster trucks , or be well experienced to prefer . This is relative to the real thing and way faster and more durable
It’s not that hardcore for the money 😂
Looks good though 😅
Suspension setup looks terrible
Pity about the decals/paint scheme. Think that would put a lot of people off. First thing i'd do would be to paint it :)
Electric toy
Yes… Big Electric Toy 🧸
First bro
I am your fan
😎🤟
You've got it wrong the USA 1 nitro crusher is supposed to be nitro. That's just a fake knock off sorry but it is
