I am a huge zx5 fan owning 6 of them and am glad to see they did the brother car to the dirt master. Rb5 and zx5 were both great rigs in the early 2000’s

The Fazer MKII is also made 95% of plastic and it is one os the best platforms out there. Kyosho's magic. That Dirt Cross is gonna last you a looot of time without issues.

Absolutely! The plastic on my Dirt Master has held up really well too. 👍

I always enjoy your videos. It's like sitting having a cuppa and a nice conversation on one of my favorite topics. Thank you for another great video.

アメリカはバギーと言えば2WDみたいですが、日本では80年代のバギーブームの頃は4WDのほうがどっちかというと盛り上がっていましたので、僕のような復帰組おじさんには4WDのほうがよく突き刺さります。なので、こういうキットはすごく期待していました。

This RC is very tempting.!! 👍 👍

Great video! I still have the ZX-5 FS2 SP I'm looking forward to putting the front and rear diff gears from the Dirt Cross in my buggy can't wait to see the run video!

Thanks for the in-depth look at the Dirt Cross 👍 I'm actually looking forward to throwing a few options on it, when it arrives. I have a Lazer ZX7 and it looks like the front and rear universals will fit. I have alloy shocks ready for it. The other thing I might get is alloy hingepin holders for some added durability.

Thanks for watching! I have a set of triple caps, but decided to try the kit dampers out first. I've been impressed with the stock ones on the Dirt Master. I would definitely like to replace the dog bones and as you mentioned replacing the plastic hinge pin blocks with alloy ones would be a good upgrade.

Great video, David. I'm a huge fan of these buggies, and I love your perspective on them. Kyosho has nailed it with the Dirt Cross release. It's a perfect combination of retro styling, performance, and affordable price point. Well done, sir.

Thank you. In Japan the SB series are doing really well. They have retro looks and relatively high levels of performance for an affordable price. At the moment there aren't too many options if you want something around the ¥30,000 to ¥40,000 range that isn't a re-release.

Thank you Addam. 👍 I'm on the mend, so with any luck by next weekend I'll be all set to run around the park chasing an RC car! 😅🤣

Lovely looking buggy David. I quite like the pink (hopefully the paint will stay on for a while!). Looking forward to the running video 👍🏻

Thanks! After recently painting a Fantom in fluorescent pink I discovered I really like the color. Just a shame it tends to have issues. The Fantom body had a similar problem, though not quite as bad.

Very nice video again, David! I appreciate you get these kits early on and show to the rest of us. Looks like it'll be great value just like the Dirtmaster, nice quality. It's not one for me right now, but I'm looking forward to watch it on video!

I like it. It's like a next level TT02

Thanks for the review 👍 Still not a fan of the general shape of the body, same with the DirtMaster. I prefer the ZX5 body and RB5 body for 2WD. But that's my opinion. This one isn't for me, not because of that or the chassis, but I'm lucky to have many ZX5 (and RB5) in various iterations 😅 I look forward to see the running video 👍🤝

Thanks for commenting! The ZX-5 body certainly looks great. I miss mine. The Dirt Master seems to be a bit of a marmite car. Some love it. Some hate it. I'm definitely the former. 😁

Thank you for this. I'm eager to get one. And curious to see if a ZX-5 body will fit.

I no longer have my ZX-5 to test, but from memory I think the body will fit without modification on the Dirt Cross.

@lowqualitytech1216

Yes , the body will fit. Maybe need some velcro but from my experience it seems like all the bodies from the ZX5 series will fit.

I have one of these cars on order. It is still on back order, but I live in California. I do wish it had all of the bearings and metal shocks, but I get why the shocks are not metal in the kit. I do have to admit that Kyosho plastic shocks and Tamiya plastic shocks do work well. The shocks on this car are in the front. I wonder if they will break on the first crash. I guess you will find out as you drive the car. Thoughts?

@KaiCityRC

10 күн бұрын

The shocks are pretty robust, even for plastic ones. But like anything, hit them hard enough and they'll likely break. Although, being plastic, they'll be a little cheaper to replace if needed.

How much is it USD?

I believe the Dirt Cross will be available outside of Japan. As for the price, I don’t know. Here it can be bought for around ¥35,000 which is a little over $200.

Is this coming to the united states?
