I'm kinda thinking the same thing..... Ever since my 70' 454 got stolen ive had a soft spot for them. Thats no 396 sound kit, thats for sure!
I just can't get over how handsome and well done these Kyosho bodies are. It was actually enough to get me back into RC after 20+ years.
Crooked SS badge has me triggered.

I deliberately popped a led in driving lights on our crawler. It's been that way for years now. The anxiety it creates is fantastic. I put the lenses cover on crooked too, just in case. 😁

Nice work on the review! 👍🏼
Great review, as always!
Hi Brett, I really like how the slo mo caught the suspension articulation, looks bad ass man, just like the whole car, sitting there looking all mean and nasty, lol 😂 I love the whole range of those rc classics, they are beautiful to look at, although a bit expensive for a shelf queen 👸.........maybe not lol 😆. Great video Brett, as usual. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧
This is so beautiful
I have the Kyosho '69 Camaro Z/28. On asphalt, it only took about 4 lipo battery changes to wear down the tires almost completely. I went with the Protoform Vintage Racing tires on their Minilite style wheels, for much greater durability.
nice touch with the red calipers 💪
Looks so good
Super nice for a collection of classics.
I've had a kyosho madbug for years now. It was my first new modern r/c since I was in elementary school. It is on the same platform but with longer arms for off-road. It handles like a dream and the factory tires and wheels are good. Unfortunately everything plastic broke. All the things your worried about. All four wheel shaft cups stripped out, front hub stripped, driveshaft twisted like a redvine, the plastic spur gear stripped, and after replacing all that, the esc let out the magic smoke. I still have it and it's fun to drive, but it just keeps breaking. On top of that the parts are so hard to find. I'm just glad I bought it almost brand new. 🤷🏽♂️

Looks groovy 😎 👌
Ok when I saw this thumbnail I totally though it was a regular car reviews vid lmao.
I would like one just like that but in a brushless 5th scale with sound and lights included .
Does look good. The crooked SS on the grille and tailgate bug me but that's probably an easy fix ( I hope )
That thing looks REAL fer' Real
Sweet truck! I've always loved El Caminos!
Great model, now if Kyosho would offer it with a ‘72 Ranchero body I would have to have it.
Awesome car, after I watched this I had to get one! Also picked up the ESS-one from AMain and installed it only to find the engine sound is reversed from throttle! Forwards on throttle makes reverse sound on ESS. I’ve tried calibrating the ESS and verified several times it’s connected correctly. Was there any issues like this on your installation? If so how did you correct it? Thanks Brett!!
That is a sweet car!!
Mad van brushless is coming out.
When are they coming back in stock
Wow that things looks amazing. Wonder how it would be brushless

@AMain_Hobbies
3 жыл бұрын
They're steering stops so when the steering extends fully to one side, that cup hits the top suspension arm preventing further motion. We believe this is an effort to prevent the front dogbones from popping out in certain situations. -Brett

Quick question, i own a tamiya tt02R and i saw how you put the speaker on the battery. how would you change the battery out?
It would be cool if they put the Mad Van body on the Fazer mk2 chassis.
At least they made both SS emblem front and back crooked...
What was the default engine sound suppose to be? Sounded like either a chainsaw or an r/c engine.
Nice car !!! The motor stock ? Cheers from Germany
Cool!
Is that body a 256mm wheelbase? Thanks for the review guys.
@AMain_Hobbies

The vehicle has a wheelbase of 274mm; the body should be the same, with a 190mm width. -Brett
every dang 'Prius' should have a sound box :)
The plastic driveshaft seems like a questionable design decision. The sound system sounded great but at full throttle it was drowned-out? It's said to be rather loud so, did it cut-out or get drowned-out?
The sound simulator mixed with the electric motors almost makes it sound supercharged
I love this el camino💖 Thanks for sharing to us! DONE SUBSCRIBE YOUR CHANNEL✨
Really like this one can’t go wrong with the price would be nice if they also made it nitro four wheel drive two speed transmission 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I feel like I would put the sound system In a infraction so I could hear the idle since the drive train s too loud
Very cool
Why not include the lights? But this looks great. And 25 mph isn't bad.
Is there a way to lift it and put bigger tires
Nice!!
The body would look cool on a crawler chassis
at 10:17 I noticed something red, is that a FC-RX7 in the parking lot?
Can you guys please do a video on a rc drift car
Heck ya I put a velenion 3s system it's awesome fast with upgraded drive shaft I haven't checked speed but it's fast as my senton blx
They should make headphones speakers, instead of internal. I had a similar sound system on a Traxxas, it's very cool when the car is near, but you don't hear i anymore as soon as it really drives.
Can this be upgraded to brushless? Wondering if there is an effortless Kyosho option.

@@AMain_Hobbies I have some questions about X Maxx upgrades. Had the truck for three days now, no jumping or hard bashing yet. It is a different beast to drive. In the first ten minutes I noticed a tin sound and noticed a metal ring on the rear axle, guessing it's from a bearing. Before finishing the first full battery run, I had a broken a arm and the steering servo just spins. No steering. From what I've researched, this is not common apparantly. Are there upgrades I'm missing?
