Kyosho models, does anybody have any?

[rceverywhere]

Been looking for a place with kyosho but seems like they are more rare. Most people like something super tough and parts available easy I guess. Lol
None the less I got a usa 1, well just because I guess. Did a few mods and thought theres got to be someone that would like to see it, somewhere?

Dude, that’s beautiful! Welcome to the forum, I know there are quite a few Kyosho fans here.

We're just RC fans all around here. Just don't say the "T" word. Some folks get butt-hurt.

Does Yokomo count? Have an Optima mid custom special. Also own some T, Words. Welcome here. Hope you like this site as much as I do. . At the end of the day, they are all fun.

I love it and it must rip with that setup

It's bonkers, last November when I first put it in, on my basically ice driveway, a 3/4 jab from a dead stop wound wheely it to it's roof, then front flip itself back to it's wheels as the spinning wheels slowed down, had about a foot and half of powder all around, with finesse to the throttle it would walk on top, but to much and it would start to dig, that revealed it had snowblower in it's viens cause as it sank in I was just burping the throttle and it would wheely up each time and completely clean all the powder from under and in front, come down and do it again. The next test was a 6ft snow ramp, it got a little squirrelly going up and turned towards the cleaned driveway, that ended my run, was waiting for vitavon to make the rear diff also... so I just got what they offered and just got it back together now. Wish I had a video of it, I've never seen an rc eat snow like that. But I will start making more videos again. My u tube channel is old and boring and I hope to change my style to make it better

Looks super kool. I had an OG usa1 back in the early 90s. It was a POS.
But this platform looks way way better than 30 yrs ago.
Welcome!

With a sharp lookin truck like that you’ll fit right in here!

 

[Bustedaw11]

Usa1 and nitro crusher are 2 of my favorite monster trucks. I'm old school and dig the nitro version of the usa1 but either way they are epic trucks
I have a couple nitro infernos (my fav rc) and somewhere have a nitro atv (the old rare one).. I lost it in storage at some point, gotta be somewhere!

 

[hobo]

had a rally car from kyosho years ago it was nitro though so was a nightmare and didn't no what I was doing really

I have one of those. Just had it out the other day. I’ll never get tired of that truck. Yea, I’m a bit of a Kyosho fanboy.

Nice collection.

Nice collection.

Thanks, it’s a crippling addiction lol.

 

[blaster27]

Nice range of rigs there. I’ve always loved those Mad Vans. Never had one, but makes me smile every time I see one.

Thanks! I love that stupid van lol. I just finished building that one. Went way, way overboard with it. 4 gear diffs, 7k and 4k, alloy steering, motor mount, axle carriers, shocks, hubs, Protek 155T servo, Max10 80a with 3300kv motor, steel pivot balls, you name it, I installed it. No idea why, just hyper-fixated on it. Lol this thing absolutely flies. It’s mental.

Dang dude, I’ll bet it’s mental! I’ve never once seen anyone do this level of a build for a Mad Van. Most people I’ve seen leave them stock and run some small AliExpress electronics combo. I’m quite sure it rips! That HobbyWing combo on 3s is a beast!

Yea, it was almost uncontrollable. I only do this on trucks (or in this case vans) that I love. I dare not add up how much I spent on upgrades for a $270 van lol. I didn’t even mention the hardened gears, or the yellow body I got to bash with. That way my red one stays pristine for the shelf. These mad vans really get under your skin. I highly recommend buying one. So much fun.

It looks like that MT has a chain drive in there?
It seems like Kyosho is the only one doing chains on cars.

Their 4wd pan car has a chain drive which is just wild looking....

 

[oldguywnewtoy]

Used to race the Ultima back in the 90's. Only one I have now is a Fazer Mkll with the GTO body. It's a shelf queen cause it looks to nice to mess up.
