E355: Let’s Drive It! Kyosho Sandmaster 2.0 Budget RTR Buggy. Is It A Good Deal? (paid promotion)

Published: 18/03/24
Feeling a little late to the party but the Kyosho sandmaster 2.0 is only just out in the UK. This had been on my list since I learned of its release. So is this latest kyosho release worth its budget price tag? I hope you’ll come join me by the sea and check it out ? Me I personally think it’s a good starting point if you can iron out the small issues.
Apologies for the first minute of sound, it’s all fine after that ;)

    Thanks for the shout out! 😁 The more I run my Sand Master, the more I like it. It's got its problems, but for the money you can't go wrong. Mine lives in the back of my car along with a couple of old nimh packs and gets run whenever I have a bit of free time. Goes pretty well with a Super Stock motor in it. The biggest headache is getting the battery door off after a run in gravel, fine dirt or sand.😅 I'll have to give the tape idea a go!

    I was a little worried about the gear box at first. My Sandmaster 2 now has a 3300kv on 3s doing 42MPH on stock gears. It has not failed once. This is a great budget Rc

    To me this comes out Right after the Arrma Gorgon. Interesting that 2 2wd models come out very close to each other when the 2wd hype is at a high. Interesting indeed! I really like this though. For the money it’s an excellent buy. Hope fully Kyosho stoa producing these poorly made gears. It’s a shame it’s that noisy right out of the box. Still, it’s decent performance and. Overall durability still make it worth price. Great run And video Andy! 👊🏼😃

    wonderful execution of this ez series (definitely does not compete against the tamiya bbx which is at a much higher price than the kyosho) I hope Kyosho has many gear boxes for this cart available in stock this time. I heard that rage 2.0 was back in stock too I think that for the price it is a great car (hopefully this version doesn't get dirt in the gearbox gears)

    It is a cool buggy for a great price. The gear box noise is a bit much but cleaning up the spur gear helped a lot. For the price it is a great deal and a lot of fun to drive. I just got the metal pinion in mine to replace the plastic one, just for peace of mind. Take care Andy and have fun with it! I will have to try the zip tie fix for the rear arms too!

    Looks really cool Andy, the suspension works well on that surface and for the price I think it’s seems great, very tempted!! Many thanks for sharing, best wishes

    It's a pretty good looking buggy, I quite like it. I suspect it'd be way better on sand or flat dirt, seems more suited, it looked very, very bouncy on that surface that you were running it on. Great video as always!!

    Interesting release from Kyosho. I think a hot brushed motor like Super stock bz would be an ideal choice for this buggy 🙂

    wonderful contribution friend! Do you think this car can handle 23 or 24 mph for long periods of time without damaging the gearbox?😊😊😊

    It should be able to maintain that speed , I’d geared mine down as well so it should have been faster than it was in my video , it’s mainly the spur gear that’s not very good and I’d change the pinion to metal steel pinion instead of the kit plastic one

    Hi Adrian these originally date back to 2012 and haven’t evolved to much. They were a budget model mire aimed at beginners etc , if you look back at kyosho earlier releases you could compare it to the likes of the Cosmo, icarus or maybe the Raider artr. Cheers hope that helps
