This truck is the reason I've got back in the hobby.always wanted a solid axle mt and this re-release came out the perfect time.It's been great fun so far, haven't regretted spending 500 quid for jt

Your literally me from across the pond. I too got back into the hobbit based what u said! Get mine on Saturday!

I’ve been wanting this mainly from the nostalgia factor but now seeing it run. This is one awesome basher. Great video Tomley!

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks dude

[@TurokRC]

The nitro version of this is EPIC. 3-speed shifting is rare nowadays, I posted a bash video a few days back. Nice video 👍, subbed

[@Watermoehlen]

That’s such a sweet spot you get to run your cars in the grass, assuming it gets mowed regularly of course. It’s always fun to watch cars cruise over natural terrain. My son would love that truck because of the realism. One day, I think I get a monster truck RC

[@KlunkersKustoms]

awesome rc, very cool indeed,

[@stoojona5119]

That looks like a ton of fun! Like a real monster truck in that if you floor it all you'll see is sky! I assume it has proportional steering as well as throttle? I think that looks properly cool as well, actually looks like a monster truck compared to most bashers, i know that is to lower the center of gravity that they are so low, kratons and the like, but i do love a more realistic looking MT style basheroonie

[@rcplaytime]

That is a damn nice truck,love it👌👍👍😃😃

[@ipperurc5216]

Nice bash!

[@monosurge]

I took mine out this weekend and it's definitely bashable. Not 'brutal grade' bashing. But you don't have to be afraid to take a tumble. It's deceptively strong and things flex where they need to. That said, The steering is definitely laggy as hell. Worse, I did the 4WS conversion and now all 4 wheels are laggy. So you end up with a ton of oversteer by the time you realize you've gone too far. Very frustrating at high speeds. I installed a parallel adapter on the batteries and it's far more manageable at 2s. I hear somewhere they make a axle based servo mount for this chassis. Dual axle mounted HS/HT servos will likely be the ticket for me.

[@royschwartz2974]

Order placed using your link! Thanks for your video!

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks Roy. You'll love it :)

[@MCsCreations]

Pretty impressive truck, Tomley!!! 😃 Fantastic bashing there! And yeah, keep a bag of tools in the car! 😂 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I have a losi lmt which is a blast to drive and own. Highly recommend one for you to check out. Will have get one of these one day too. I love real monster trucks and find the solid axle monster trucks extremely fun! Great video!

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

Handled one of these at the local shop. Still honeymooning with my LMT but this will eventually be mine. I like most all that kyosho makes nowadays!

[@jonlaird5082]

I like the looks of it. I might have to look into this to race against my losi lmt,lol.

I love the thumbnail pal!!

[@rcweed4820]

The same steering mech from the old mad armour i jave in shed from about 10 years ago lol , the best way to overcome it is to do the axel servo mount mod,, the drive shaft setups the same too, i put some carbon strips on the arms stops them flexing, other than that tjo there badboys, great bash man

Nice

These are awesome mate aren’t they, sort that steering and the bouncy shocks and it will be a great basher.

[@ryurc3033]

I heard this was coming out, and I'm glad I waited. when the lmt came out I almost went for it. But I'm super stoked that this came back. Anybody want to buy my drag car, all decked out With plenty of goodies.

[@allrc6339]

What a great location

[@MauzyrockRC]

Looks like a heap hopper load of deadly! are replacement parts costly?

[@Nickwillfixit]

In stead of fighting the drive shaft bolt you should have just undone the rear trailing arms front bolts so much easier lol, oh well nice truck though had one a long time ago never used it so sold it NIB.

[@darylklieve4205]

It’s a brushless mad force isn’t it I did have nitro madforce back in the day with its 3 speed was great

[@salmenda]

How does it compare to the losi lmt?

[@TheUnknown714]

I honestly want this truck... but it's too pretty to drive it. It would be a shelf queen if I did buy it.

[@harryfp1494]

Kyosho has done chain drive for so long

[@gboulter]

Looks like it needs 6S or higher gearing to get some air control. Higher gearing might also tame the wheelies.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes… certainly doesn’t need any more power, but a bit more wheel speed may help for the bigger jumps

[@NoLimitRC87]

Gotta say I'd rather this to the Xmaxx awesome looking rig that m8

[@TomleyRC]

It’s certainly a good looking truck!

[@JacksonCharvelRULE]

been out of the RC game for 25 years... how long do the batteries last these days?

[@MrStingraybernard]

Had the first version of that truck .all the steering linkages suck , shocks keep snapping off the axles , chain kept falling off after wear, can’t believe kyosho kept this badly but cool chassis for so long with so many problems

[@aljensen7779]

Phil, just thought I'd mention.... with certain vehicles showcased, I'm not always that interested - such as this one. I can watch a bashing video anywhere, anytime, as you know, so when the vid turns out to be a basher with the U.S. flag plastered all over it, I don't usually watch, but I do let it play to the end while I go make a coffee. You go to the trouble of recording & editing a video so at least I can help your metrics a bit, here & there.

[@TomleyRC]

Appreciate it Al… although I understand that not everyone is interested in all the content I showcase. Coffee is a good way to pass the time 😎

[@ultrarcgasolina9890]

Muito lindo

So more of a semi-basher

[@TomleyRC]

Yes 👍

[@eprc7585]

I can't see why I would get this over a massively cheaper MT10 or a slightly more expensive Maxx tbh

[@paulclancy2404]

You have to be solely into monster trucks , or be well experienced to prefer . This is relative to the real thing and way faster and more durable

[@MrLilredmachine]

The steering on these has always been awful, it's just a terrible design. The fact that Kyosho have never really updated it (like moving the servo on to the axle or even closer to the front axle so the linkage isn't the length of a bus) is a head scratcher, this is the 7,000,000th iteration of the mad force chassis now. Otherwise, the Mad force VE is a great truck. I get through axle housing like mad on 6s though, they aren't designed particularly well (outer axle housings are located by self tapping screws going into plastic) so have to keep a few in stock and swap it every few runs when it pulls out.
