This chassis is about 20 years old, and started life as the Madforce. After that many versions came like the Twinforce, the Mad Crusher, the FO-XX and several more. they always changed some minor things but the concept stayed the same. I bought this truck in it's original form, the Madforce, and I'd say it's a very good basher. Both the nitro and electric versions are fast as f*ck and made to bash the fuck out of it.However, it has it weaknesses but once you overcome those by modding it this truck will rip. Just don't expect a body to last long :)

The intro comment and comical sound is so much funnier than it should be. 😆 Brilliant entertainment guys!

Man I wish Tamiya would make a Clodbuster as big as the X-Maxx. Doesn't even need to be all that fast. Need the 4ws and super big chevrons though.

hell yes, give me a super duper mega Clodbuster 2.0, I would totally pay X-maxx price

Nice to see that Kyosho released a "true" monster truck in this age. I am considering getting one, but likely as a nitro.

They have been making the mad force series for 20 years now. That’s what this is. People finally care about solid axle monster trucks now. It’s not new, but it IS awesome and always will be

Agrees. Everyone takes the simple route with brushless. My brushless trucks have been sitting a while. My T Maxx is far more fun. This is my next ride. Nitro of course.

I had one of the original Kyosho monster trucks, the Double Dare. It had twin motors and was very fast but with 4WS as well it was almost impossible to control. Roll overs were a very common occurrence, particularly since the suspension was friction shocks and totally ineffective. I upgraded it to 8 Kyosho Option House oil shocks at great expense but still the truck had so many other design flaws that it put me off the Kyosho brand for a very long time!

Nice review, good point about it not being a true re-release and I get it. With some of the models you mention, they were good cars originally. Unfortunately some of those old monster trucks were nice looking but terrible drives. For a truck, I’d prefer the modern driveabilty and durability of the new trucks with a nod to a classic - Big Brute next? Bring it on Kyosho ;-).

It flipped over ! Great little tribute to the real USA1 truck..👌🏻

That truck looks really nice, and goes well too, pretty fast to be honest.

I like this new version although I had the two wheel version the Big Brute and did enjoy it quite a bit, the USA-1 and the Big Brute used similar chassis structure (electric) although they put more work in the Gas version. I was lucky enough to come across an original USA-1 but traded it for a wheelie King conversion project. I do look forward to scooping up one the new versions USA-1 in the future and it 's not even in kit form still looking forward to aftermarket hop ups others on KZread

That's one big boy!!!

Now thats a cool RC to have

Get one. Replace the shell with something else you like for when you go outside.

hi gavin rebecca and family what a beauty and have got my eye on this one if i can still get one its another one for a hint to the mrs for xmas. great video as always please can we have more rtr carslike this please. peter from birmingham

Congratulations and well done RCELF for helping out another RC channel. He’s been amazing this year. I like it but on 4S it’s bonkers and you will just destroy the lovely body and break an axle in no time. It wants to be and drives like an XMAXX but it can’t handle the punishment. It doesn’t drive anything like a Clod Buster, so I’m not sure what this RC is.

I am glad that it is not just me that is confused with this one. I do think that they should of come out with the original chassis but I also see why that would of been a no with the cost involved.. I think I will get a nitro version as from what I have seen it's slower and the body may live a bit longer

Great content btw and best overview of the truck I've seen!

Rebecca 😂😂😂 she is right Regards the truck lmao... Sorry Gav

I will probably get one eventually but will wait until there are some aftermarket lexan bodies that can withstand some real abuse. I think with a good body and a few upgrades, this thing would make an amazing basher. For that price, I want to be able to actually enjoy it instead of it being a shelf queen.

Very good looking MT. From all the vids I've watched it seems to be much more durable than Kyosho monster trucks in the past. More stable too. I think that this would be a killer buy for people who don't bash too hard. Personally I would not buy this if I was in the market for a 1/8 solid axle MT. I bash pretty hard and don't think the aftermarket will support it to make it bulletproof like has happened with the losi LMT. Still I am impressed with Kyosho`s entry into this part of the hobby. Nice truck!

thinking back on it, maybe this could be a truck for me. looks more durable than kyoshos past monsters

I wanted that chassis when it was on that crawler they made (Foxx, I think)

There's no confusion as to what this is. It's not a basher. It's a fun runner for the park and the like. The chain won't last if bashed, and the tyres has zero grip. It's a re-imagination of the original, not a basher.

Like said below, a proper MT in 10th scale. Not a basher but a general model. Knocks spots off all tamiya trucks of this kind

Yes it was a painful moment and the video cuts away due to some choice words.

I just received my ve and wished it was bigger :/ it’s wider then a 1/10 but the length is the same so I would call it a wide 1/10 scale and it’s made in China not Japan which I’ve always thought kyosho was designed and manufactured in Japan.

I would be hard pressed to spend that much on this 'truck'...Now if it were like the original then perhaps. I mean, I get what Kyosho did and why. There's the nostalgia and all, but to really justify the price tag, for me at least, it should have been OG USA-1. I think the transmitter is the same as the one in their Fazer EP RTR 1/10 scale vehicles. It looks just like the one that came with my AMG GT3. And don't even get me started on the wheelie flip overs...Kyosho should have provide wheelie bars. They had to know this was going to happen. There's gonna be a lot of pissed off customers that rash their bodies, especially if they're planning to just do an initial drive then intend her as a shelf queen.
