Brushless Kyosho Mad Van First Bash

[@lukenukem1164]

My all time favorite rc, well the original ones I have 2 of. Such a good little platform, love it.

[@PJ-cf5ko]

Funnily enough, there are a couple of KZbinrs that have mentioned “the noise”. Tomley RC from the UK defo mentions it. Great video though pal. It looks like a blast. Might get one as company for my MJX 14210 v2 Hypergo

[@ShenRC]

Looks really good! took a nice beating too! Nice thrashing!

[@Tropicwaveaquatics]

I had a wierd noise similar to this on my slash 4×4. Ended up being a very tiny rock under that center driveshaft that drives the front wheels.

[@ScottMcLinden]

Awesome Bash Tony! Definitely on the list to get.

[@RcNickster709]

It is definitely an impressive truck. Love how it seems to handle bud. Now that click? Well everything seems to be mentioned other than. I know that with the scx10. There are pins that run through the driveshaft at the transmission. Sometimes they back out and THAT clicks as it rotates... Good luck

[@randyseaver8319]

Awesome run Tony! Not bad for 280! 👍👍🤙👽😎

[@marsbase3729]

Looks like it handles great! I like how the high body makes it more likely to roll on to its wheels when it flips over

[@chrispalusak7725]

Overall its the most powerfull brushless 2s truck i've seen.

[@ipperurc5216]

Looks very fun truck, like Stampede 4×4. Very good bang for the buck.

[@mjsrcs3725]

Love this truck man looks amazing jumps really well and handles just as good it reminds me a bit of the tamiya lunch box but better definitely know what I'd like two get now man thanks Tony I just got the kyosho evo rally car but now I whant one of these bad boys nice one Tony see you in the next one my man 👍👍👍✌

[@Cr125stin]

Nice! I had an original Blizzard Heavy Metal van

[@TheWright1]

I don’t know what Kyosho makes there plastics out of but they a super durable. I can’t believe the hits this thing takes and no breaks.

[@CCxRC]

I think their plastics are made from recycled Stretch Armstrong toys from decades ago 😂 They are unbelievably durable and quite flexible

[@meirdeaph8159]

Crazy! looks like landed a mctwist or 720 airs! Totally nuts!

[@RcBasherBoi]

Interesting to see. I ran mine and I didn't get any weird noise like that. Great bash my friend!

[@Dorkyand40]

Super fun

[@austinrhubarb]

Hi. Quick question on 2s vs 3s please. I know this is sold as a 2s car but apparently the ESC can tolerate 3s? I already have plenty of 3s batteries, so rather than having to buy a 2s just for this, could I not use a 3s, and then just turn down the throttle dual rate to bring the speed / electrical load back down to behaving like a 2s car (and it will then last longer for trail runs). I run my 'pretty' cars fairly gently, so I'm not worried about getting max speeds or straining the diffs. Is my logic ok, or am I missing something? Thanks 👍

[@paulclancy2404]

Tony on mine it was pinion because I stopped right away made impossible to detect , till I let rip and strip good , only after hours going through diffs and clutch lol

[@Da_Red_Gobblin]

Question bro does your mad van stop slowly or have a delay in it

[@almightysanchez4565]

My uncle has the same issue with his. Currently looking for answers

[@paulclancy2404]

The diffs only have little grease and off to side , add light weight oil

[@cslrclorne]

gotta get one

[@JagImaging]

Wheel nut loose? stripping wheel hex maybe.. Happened to my SC10 ..

[@Smile-N-Bear]

Maybe a Madvan in the future. I seen your pic of the problem. Can you get a tougher or stronger aftermarket gear? I've ordered my first Basher. VORTEK on its way! Kevin "Crashmaster" Gibbs coming soon. 🤣 Sweet Bash session all the same!👊🏁

[@LawrenceTimme]

Is the centre driveshaft bent a bit? It could be flapping about as it spins round.

[@CCxRC]

That’s what I thought it might be. Looked a little bent, but it was weird that happens when slowly pushing on the ground. Need to check the other driveshafts. Back left in particular since it landed weird on that side if I remember

[@soulrebelrc6341]

Input gear and diff main gear issue? The truck looks great and still took the beatdown even with the clicking.

[@CCxRC]

That's one of my guesses. may have chipped a tooth. need time to do a teardown

[@soulrebelrc6341]

@@CCxRCI hate it when life gets in the way of my hobby. Joking aside, Thank you ! I know it takes a ton of time and effort to work on cars, publish videos and actually be successful.

[@mushyzachman7731]

sick. Much livelier than the original!

[@RACEABLE]

Check the wheels and their connections

[@johnny5kmusic346]

That noise is likely the ring and pinion in the differentials... I destroyed both of mine. Kyosho offers an upgrade to the upgraded one that comes on the VE. Sucks... But oh well, gotta keep this crazy thing moving! LoL

[@rctd3260]

It gives me OCD running with broken parts. But thanks bro this was an epic bash

[@CCxRC]

Found it. I chipped one of the teeth off the front diff ring gear.

[@rctd3260]

@@CCxRC nice glad you found it. At least you didn't have to clean out all the metal shavings, or did you?

[@isiahanderson3001]

Nice

[@chrispalusak7725]

You might want to check the transmission gears.

[@CCxRC]

Chipped the front diff ring gear

[@rcjoe406]

Drive it like you stole it lol hey had to cancel my lmt mini order Amain really messed up the pre order its a shame was really looking forward to it 😢

[@seansrcconstruction]

Man that took so big hits. That video had a bit of the commentators curse every time you said something Some thing else happened

[@CCxRC]

😂😂😂The "Commentators Curse" is a real danger. 😂😂😂 I don't care what anyone says...these Vans are one of the most fun little RCs. I hope the success will bring more parts support for them

[@seansrcconstruction]

@@CCxRC hopefully really thinking of getting one

[@S.Keenan]

Love this little truck but I won't be getting one. With the problems I've had with the brushed, I can almost garauntee the same or worse again. Kyosho's part support is easily the worst I've ever seen. Shim those diffs!

[@S.Keenan]

@Bill Perri Yeah I've had to repair it more than anything else I own and it's had an easy life. All common issues too. Lots reported the same.

[@CoachD386]

👍🏾💯

[@monosurge]

I just wanna know where the hell all the KZbinrs got one. Nobody has stock till the end of the month!

[@CCxRC]

I walked into my local hobby shop and they had 4 on the shelf. They now have 0

[@jayhenderson1544]

Looks and sounds like a bent axle.

[@CCxRC]

That could be it

[@mychalpstanton9188]

Your diff lot ppl chip teeth easy

[@CCxRC]

That’s what it was. New ring gear on order
