I grew up with Tamiya and Kyosho. That’s all there was. With that being said, this one is a no-brainer; I’m getting it in electric lime with the optional LEDs. As far as I’m concerned the Carisma and the Element Knightrunner got nothing on this one..and unlike FMS, I know that when there is replacement part number in the back of the manual, that will be the actual correct number. Finally, the Gods have spoken; a fully licensed TRD Pro, from a quality Japanese manufacturer, with optional F/R LEDs at a reasonable cost, that does more than 2MPH.

@@monchichis333 I understand that completely. The reason why I like this truck is this the first thing in years, possibly decades that bridges the gap between goofy and goofier. The hobby has been taken over completely by the crawler crowd, yelling portals, portals portals and going 1.5 miles an hour, and then on the other hand, you have the basher crowd driving 75MPH into a wall in something that doesn’t even look like a truck. This bridges the gap between scale, realism and going more than 1.5MPH; something the hobby has lost.

I really like the look of this body and I think the wider fenders give it a trophy truck vibe. There are a couple of things that stood out in your running video that I'm not a fan of though. Firstly are the gigantic holes in the wheel wells that allow you to see all the internals and completely through the truck. It looks like the body sits up way too high and I don't like being able to see the entire chassis below the doors, however it appears that the mounts are adjustable so it's probably fixable. Secondly, while I appreciate the extra padded body supports they didn't stop the body from looking like it was moving around on rough terrain but again I think this issue may be fixable as well. I'm also curious if this comes with a scale light kit and if so it would be nice to see a future video that addresses some these issues. 🤓

I like this truck a lot. I'm in Australia and have placed a pre order on a Traxxas TRX 4 Ford F150 high trail way back in June this year. Still has not arrived and in August a shipping container was turned back at the Port of Melbourne due to containing small amounts of asbestos, this was a Traxxas shipping container. Now I'm getting fed up with waiting and I might get a refund on the Traxxas and get this Kyosho instead. It's quite a nice looking truck. But 1 or 2 small things sort of don't look right to me. The bodyshell sits up really high and looks strange due to seeing this. It's possible to look right through the chassis and body shell. Then the bodyshell also whilst being beautiful to look at actually looks really flimsy for a truck that can reach high speeds and is meant to be a basher. I agree with a comment made by another viewer , this could really benefit from some inner fenders. And the flimsy looking body posts and underside bodyshell locating area looks sort of flimsy too. So for instance if this truck takes a solid hit to the front or rear and breaks the chassis then the bodyshell can't be secured into place. I reckon Kyosho bed a little more development on this truck. Here in Australia this is selling at $759.00 Australian dollars. Not bad and the Traxxas TRX 4 Ford F150 high trail is $1090.00 Australian dollars. Quite a difference. Then a lot of people are critical on the faulty electronics in Traxxas . And how bad Traxxas are to deal with. I certainly don't need that headache either. Especially after the initial purchase price, I don't need any further expenses. Yeh I don't know which I will choose.

Kyosho did a great job on the truck. I love watching your videos and this one really pushes me toward the Kyosho over the Raptor R. Couple things since the shocks are all plastic which ones would you choose to replace them with along with a different wheel/tire combo?

@scalebuildersguild

6 ай бұрын

Picked up a UDR last week and the scale bashing side of the hobby is great! The speed and details on this type of truck matches just perfect if you ask me

Looks like the body could stand to be lowered a good bit, and maybe a set of inner fenders as well, though that may be asking a bit much from a basher.

@XWXW-lk4jf

9 ай бұрын

I was thinking the exact same thing. It kind of ruins the scale looks too. Just way too high. It also looks like it lacks protection from debris getting in the chasis. Excessive debris in the chasis is a major pet peeve of mine because you end up having to stop and clean it constantly. Plus, there is no ability to drive in snow with a set up like this. Offroad trucks need inner chasis protection for goodness sakes! I gues you could use some heavy duty tape to try and seal it more but that is not ideal. That issue is a big enough one for me where I will pass on this one. The Traxxas Maxx with a scale body will suffice for now. It offers plenty of protection and more speed anyhow. Will wait until someone makes one with more inner chasis protection
