I think I'm going to have to get into nitro just for this truck. Looks awesome!

Beautiful looking Truck 👍👍😍

Taking me back to 1992 when I wanted this truck so bad. Excited to see this get re-released!

I miss the popularity of nitro. Probably 80% of my recent rc purchases have been older nitros. In my early days of the hobby, there were so many nitro options. A really good break in is about a gallon of fuel. Did the rbmods way of breaking in some engines he did for me, and they run amazing.

There's a bit of a learning curve if your new to nitro's or if your not mechanically minded but the work you put into it really pays off, what a buzz ha ha

I want that truck just to put up on a display. I can look at that thing all day!

Old chassis new body. I've a mad cruiser, same thing also nitro. I run mine with a hpi savage body cos the wheelbase is about right. Can't bash too hard, links do not take landings like A arms do. It does look good though torque twisting like a proper monster truck. The weird steering links is so ya can have rear wheels connected. Mine came with a rear axle with turny bits like the front but its locked with a removeable bit of plastic. Rolls easy in the corners but it's a tall, solid axle truck sooo 🤷‍♂️

Go on, we need a nitro on the channel

So cool, you got the nitro version. It's the one I would get as well

BEYOND pumped to see you review this one here man! I have had my eyes on this one as well. Thanks for the great content as always! Ethan

Man I used to have the old school electric version that was kyoshos answer to the clod buster. It was very cool at the time to be the kid on the block that had the large RC. Beautiful looking truck. Would like to see your review of the electric version. Always great vids Vas. 👍

Vas, I'm so jealous........ I'm 100% getting one of these in the Nitro version as well. What an absolute beauty, hopefully you will get one of your own for the channel, maybe both versions lol. 👌

Thanks Simon!

Wonderful truck thanks for sharing the GP! ✌️

Loved this truck back in the day. Glad it's back out. The body looks great!

Love the channel, love your reviews. Just finished upgrades to my losi Lmt full of treal bling . 4 wheel steering. Bit of nitro is awesome.🆖🤜🤛👍😜

Looks good . Don't think I will be getting one. Glad your back brother

3 speed baby!

Looks awesome!

thanks for this vas ...... i have one of these and they are awsome 👍👍

A very kool truck 😎. I had a look at the electric version as Fuel is so difficult to source here in NZ . I immediately liked the battery mountings they’ve done . Might be smash the piggy bank time!. Thanks Vas for showing us this truck and thanks to your Mate for lending it 👍.

Big thanks Simon!!! That’s awesome he left you open the sealed box!! Love the CARNAGE vids! I’m with him, nitro for shelf and electric for bash! Ha!! Them tires would be great on my SMT’s. N yea the J-Concepts on my monster jam trucks are 12mm. Thanks as always and keep up the great content bud!!!🤙👍🏻

Already have a Mad Crusher GP and love it to death. Might get the body, wheels, tires for one of these to swap onto that.

thanks for this unboxing

Good work Simon! Legend 👍

Such a good looking truck.. totally understand for shevling it but would have loved to have seen you ripping it..left a thumbs up 👍

Nice. I'm glad you are going to test this nice Nitro truck out. I don't have any nitros. Maybe in the future. Hehe

There's a twin motor option if you go for the electric version. x2 4s brushless motors!!!

DAMN! I lusted for one of those as a kid.

Thank's Simon 👍

I put the Kyosho decal over God 4WS adds to the realizum and wind shield wipers even on 2 cell battery 4x4x4 cranks on.

THANKS SIMON.!! 😜 👍

Sweet truck

Sweet looking chevy

Damn... I had the electric twin engine 4ws version back in the mid 90s. Cool truck.

Bring back the nitros! Love them I have 3

Just ordered one. I’m on the fence about actually running it

Hi Vaz, I highly recommend a rechargeable receiver pack. a 2S Life should be perfect. Those AA packs are awful, can't handle the current servos pull, and love to disconnect.

Love this and to be honest I would put it on the shelf also :) And I would of also gone with the Nitro

wonderful video does the nitro version have reverse speed? greetings friend

This is going to be my next rc truck! Brushless rc cars and trucks are fun but nitro powered ones are more fun because of the noise! ;) And monster trucks in general are designed to destroy cars, and do big jumps. Not speed machines.

Vas hoping you decide to get one and crossing my fingers its the nitro version.

was wondering since you featured the Kyosho USA-1 on the channel have you ever done an Losi LMT I have not seen it regardless what are you thoughts on that truck would you get one or strongly recommend one Im more of a basher but i understand those trucks are not meant to sent 20 plus feet.

How top heavy is this

15:06 yeah that's the same chassis my Mad Crusher has. Good chassis. They're not weak by any stretch. The weak link is teh axle tubes and to break those requires a trip to a skate park Kev Talbot style. IE you drive this thing reasonably you wont' break it. I've had my Crusher for 3 or 4 years now and I've never broken it. Please don't use that AA holder that came in the box though. Those things are runaway generators. I use a 2s LiFE battery the same form factor, 1900mAh, in mine. Fits in the same spot but so so so so so so so so so so much better.

Link to said battery pack? I'm guessing one can't use something like rechargeable NiMH AAs (Eneloop) due to the lower (1.2) voltage?

Are the wheels 2.6 diameter?

Very special

I wish I did pre-order, can't decide between nitro and electric , id probably not run the body . Beauty

It's just a mad force mad crusher with new body right? I'm not seeing anything new but the body

It’s just a mad force 2.0 with a new body but very cool none the less

JConcepts tires miiiiiight fit, but the wheels probably won't - they attach via 12mm hex.

Nice video Vas may I ask if your first nitro was a small block in my experience they are always to finicky you’d spend more time tuning than bashing big blocks are a different animal once tuned they will hold it and stay dialed in

Pimp ride! Get more stock metrohobbies!, great vid…

Awesome that you got one of these! I know the engine header, roll bar lights, and the sideview mirrors are going to break off during the first rollover. But more importantly, are those axles and links going to survive? That's the kind of thing that would break instantly on most solid axle trucks running on 4S (which is what the USA-1 VE runs, so I assume the gas is similar in speed). Running 2S is much more common on stock solid axle trucks.

1:15 Kyosho engines are dreamboats. I get one pull starts out of mine all the time. You'll do fine with this thing; it ain't like a Traxxas engine where a diehard gearhead like myself who works on engines as small as a 0.049 up to lorry engines can't even get one to behave.

@@ShabbernigdoXingjian Ye I ain't buyin' that one. Every issue I had with my 3.3 is backed up by enough google results of the same issue from unique users to fill an encyclopedia. The TRX3.3 is an unapologetic piece of shit. The conrod is shit, the top end is shit, the carb is shit, the bearings are shit. The really frustrating thing about it is there's the bones of a good engine in there *somewhere*. The half dozen or so times mine deigned to run like I expect and demand my engines to run it was quite the screamer; didn't have much down low but once the Rs got up it'd just flat scoot. But that was....ooh, half a dozen runs out of nearly a gallon of running. When you put proper bearings in them, put the Davis diesel dual-bushed conrod in them, put an OS carb on them, they perform reasonably well. But for that kinda money you'd be better served just buying a OS and being done with it. I'm 128 percent convinced the TRX2.5 and TRX3.3 are why so many people in this hobby think nitros are nothing but tuning and deadsticks. If their sole experience was one of these desk ornaments it'd explain why they say that. You can peep my channel; I have video of my Slayer running on its 3.3 and on the Dynamite 19T 5-port I replaced the 3.3 with. I've also got videos of...well shit basically every glow engine I own that actually runs is uploaded at least once.

Sorry to bother you with this, just wondering if you can advise if and when Metro will have these in stock? Really want to purchase one. Is there a waiting list or similar I can go on?

Best option is to call the store (or come in, if you're local) and put your name down for one when it comes in. I know there's more stock on the way, I'm just not sure when it'll arrive. But if you give us a call during the day, I can find out for you. 🙂
