Is this Japan's FASTEST Monster Truck?! - Kyosho Mad Van VE on 3s!

[@TheRcSaylors]

Tomley, I just want to say early congrats on 50K Subs! I love your passion that you have for this hobby, and for KZbin as it shows! I'm proud to say I've known of you since the earlier days of your channel and only see continued growth and success in your future! If only all KZbinrs could be as stand up as you. Keep up the great work! 👍😁⚓

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers Guys. As you are well aware... there can be lots of negativity on this platform which can easily discourage you from doing or saying stuff , for the last 18 months or so I've kept in my lane, ignored what others think and just got on with it. Honestly It's been the most enjoyable time so far! Thanks for the Support on here, and via email over the last 12 months or so.

That intro made my toes curl! I absolutely love this truck, this might be one that I would keep on 2s, especially with that gorgeous body lol! Thanks as always, good sir!

[@TomleyRC]

2s is all this needs 😎👌

[@andrewmagro7703]

The Best Part About this Van For Me Is I can Watch all you KZbinrs Go Mad With Yours and i can Dial Mine down to half way on two S and still pull a wheelie and keep it in shelf queen looking machine that it is - so love this truck and so cool now that i've put in the light kit from Ebay for only a Fiver looks super scale even more now cheers Tomley Love your channel my friend Gotta Chat some time soon Buds.

[@TomleyRC]

Haha... that’s a good point you have there! Cheers for watching 😎👌

[@cwatson42785]

I put a light kit on mine and I'm only running on 2s. Seems perfect on 2s

Love the Mad Van reminds me of the Lunchbox when I was a kid. As always the videos are great. Glad I found your channel my son and I both watch it.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes... has some Lunchbox Vibes about it 😎

[@BlueDually4x4]

I think Kyosho builds some great vehicles, they just don't get a lot of attention. This truck is pretty quick and tough.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, they are pretty ‘classy’ as well

[@DustyFingersRC]

Your bashing footage was epic!! Great editing. Need to rewind that now. 👍🏼

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks dude

[@RustyMcRusty]

Need to shim the diff ring gear and input gear. Kyosho don't do this, so the gears last 5-10 packs if you're lucky. It was the same with the original MV. 12x15 for the diff, 5x7 for the input. Rather than add these from the factory, Kyosho fitted gardened gears but irs not solved the cause. Odd, as a shim is so cheap... The original chewed up spurs too, in less than a pack sometimes. There's a 32dp upgrade that works a treat. Other things to do are get the diff seals and fill them with oil plus add 350cst shock oil and check they're not leaking, as they all seem to. To keep the front down, add weights, its such a light thing that they just flip.

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers for the tips dude

[@RustyMcRusty]

@@TomleyRC happy to help :) Come say hi on Facebook, have a small group for the MV on there with upgrades and all the info to get it working just right.

Hi Phil. You got some great shots in the bash segment. Good to see that the plastic roof bits saved the body in the speed test. Mine still sounds really screechy at speed like there is something wrong with it but I've had it apart and can't find anything. That clicking noise you had at the end does sound like something else. Hope your gears are ok!

[@TomleyRC]

I have a horrible feeling it’s the front diff. Going to strip it down to check later on in the week. Glad you enjoyed it... I’m getting good at one handed driving

[@backyardbasher]

I have a Stampede 4x4 VXL which is standard apart from proline mx38's, brute bash body, mips and some extra cooling and the performance on 3s looks comparable to the mad van, I love going across a park at 35-40mph pulling 50m long wheelie while keeping then throttle pegged, it would go further but usually topples off to one side.

[@TomleyRC]

The Stampede looks fun... I might have to get one

[@rcyalater...2305]

I can say first hand pretty solid rc, the stampede 4x4. Though mips are great for half price the teknos are no joke
