Kyosho USA-1 VE First Run

[@geodude3966]

I'm late to the party but they finally have this in stock again and I just ordered mine from TowerHobbies for $440! ($520 - $80 coupon code). I'm just gonna run it on 3S as well, don't want to ruin that beautiful body.

[@axlsgarage2677]

I have a Kyosho USA 1 VE, and i put the 4 wheel steering kit on it with 20mm axle extenders.. it handles and turns so much better

[@longboardguy]

That is such a nice looking truck and it performs well for what it’s intended for. Might be a must buy for me

[@kaosr.c]

I got mine this weekend and ripped it on 4s , thing is a beast ....

[@CCxRC]

Sweet!

[@fastdude2002]

I have the original release (the nitro version with a .21) sitting in my garage. I bought it new in the 90s. It’s been a fun truck.

[@CCxRC]

Very cool. Those are sought after

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

We were just gifted one of these from the infamous RC elf. This thing is nuts on 4s. Too much power 😁

[@metalsthelaw4238]

I did a DIY steering mod, and the truck drives so much better after getting out the slop. Good vid, glad to see a proper demonstration!

[@gonzodetroitify]

What did you do to remove slop pal😉

[@cwatson42785]

Can't wait to hear your comparison to the lmt. I'm curious how it stacks up durability wise as well. Wondering if it holds up better. You're definitely the lmt guy Tony so you were meant for this comparison lol

[@norcalrc]

You drive that like a boss bro

[@DragonfireRC]

Hobby Wing Programming card works on the older ones with the Orion electronics. I hope it still works on these new ones. Nice video.

[@NCMOUNTAINSbackyardRC]

Monster truck freestyle. Now that’s cool! Yeah I’m trying to nail down what I want for first of the year. I will say this is on my top three. At the time

[@metalsthelaw4238]

You can use the digital hobbywing esc card for tuning. The brakes are on the lowest setting from factory.

[@CCxRC]

yeah. 25% is not enough. I want at least 50%

[@just4kicks950]

I'm passing on both 😞, nitro & electric ! I due have both O.G's....neither compares to the new releases, in the durability & performance department. I have the mad crushers, I'm copping 2 bodies for my vintage. The new USA 1's are beast 💪 & everytime I see it run, make me want to drop that $$$. I would be afraid to bash it & would wind up collecting dust being my shelf queen, beside the O.Gs. Appreciate the cool vid Salute 😎 👍

[@rcaddictive8572]

I literally just picked one up, can't wait to drive mine

[@Addicted_2RC]

Great bash Tony love the USA-1!!! 👊👊👍👍

[@damondavis842]

I still need to get one of these

[@Coyoterc1]

That was great bash tony!!! 🔥 🔥 usa1 is a great basher. I’m very happy with it. The nitro version has been very interesting. I do prefer electric over nitro tho. Kyosho has done a great job with this. Thanks for video. I can’t wait to see more!! 🤟

[@CCxRC]

Nitro definitely has a different pull for people that crave the sound and smell. I like the simplicity of electric

[@nitroluver4l591]

@@CCxRC Nitro makes it feel more real for me, real engine, carb, air filter, disk brakes

[@ronniecreason7870]

Nice usa1 is bad ass

[@timvanasen6711]

Great bash Tony Kyosho did a nice on an iconic MT thank's for sharing 😉👍

[@CCxRC]

They definitely did it up right for this iconic truck!

[@RuisRcAdventures]

As soon as they are available in the UK i'm gonna get one. Man that looks epic, it'll be good company for my Mad Van 😄

[@jknewb6276]

Pretty sweet truck, I still follow my local RC group and someone just asked about getting this truck. Looks fun!

[@KurtsRCs]

It looks so smooth when you backflip it very nice control

[@Livingandcooking]

The USA 1 is a blast! Nice video

[@TABRO284]

I noticed on all the videos of the USA-1 when it lands it makes a really sharp slapping sound.

[@CCxRC]

That's just the box rattling

[@mjsrcs3725]

Man it's awesome it back flips like Sam Pilgrim so smooth it's massive that truck is big now we need two see it against the losi how it going man hope I'll I good pal love the truck got some good shots in on this nice man nice 🤘😎👍

[@RcNickster709]

Yeah this looks like a pretty awesome truck Tony. Have to admit really like that body. Other than some typical Stock issues. Seems to run Great!!

[@ShenRC]

Man this is so nice! I think it does those flips and stuff very well because I am thinking it's much lighter than the LMT and especially the ones you have with the metal axles... should do a weight comparison see what the difference is between them. Nice bash, for a monster I think 3s is good enough..wait until you use 2 good 2s lipos it does those flips without a ramp probably this chassis has gobs of power.

[@CCxRC]

Seems like it will have gobs of power on 4s. The flips will get harder to control and it will push the corners even more.

[@ShenRC]

@@CCxRC For that stunt driving you do I think the 3s will be perfect maybe you can get a good shorty type 3s pack and somehow mount it in the center of the chassis?

[@CCxRC]

@@ShenRC 3s felt good. I have a second battery to balance the weight. THen just switch over the power as the first battery dies

[@DragonfireRC]

@@CCxRC Run the 2 3s batteries in Parallel wiring, then you won't have to switch. Would stay 3s and have the combination of the 2 batteries in capacity.

[@ShenRC]

@@CCxRC Yeah I was just thinking if you can mount it in the center of the chassis some how it may handle even better. How are those wheels and tires on it are they pretty light or do they feel heavy?

[@adamhenderson3095]

Love your style bro,keep it up killin it

[@CCxRC]

Thanks Adam!

[@krashkingrc9715]

Awesome video excellent looking truck always the hardest part the first scratch

[@dominic9279]

That was a fun run 🤗

[@gonzodetroitify]

Awesome Toni 💥🤤 Maynard you can turn up the brakes via the esc and maybe even a max8 esc program card should do the trick too🤔💥💯🎯

[@CEWTX]

Which one would you recommend this one or the losi LMT son of a digger and why?

[@f.chrisliuzzo7889]

If u use a hobby wing esc card u can turn up the brakes and punch control

[@Forenzikproductions]

Kyosho is awesome, still love my Bigfoot though, this is tempting for sure.

[@CCxRC]

Bigfoot is a classic as well!

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

I enjoy my Traxxas Bigfoot as well. Super simple and good looking. Lacks in the stunt department but my kids love just driving it around.

[@chainsaw7887]

Definitely getting one of these!!

[@plorks445]

Great vid. Thumbed up. What pinion gear does it come with stock? 14t?

[@kevinbreaker2683]

Nice truck ,,, Tony I think I might get one🌟🌟👍👊

[@CCxRC]

Right on. I turned up my brake rate. Should handle much better in the air now.

[@paulbricklayer4491]

We need a video on how to figure out the controls better braking

[@bizkithead669]

Glad I bought my LMT. It's a beast and can turn around inside a football field, lol.

[@CCxRC]

LMT turns really tight

[@RUZTY1311]

Your house is amazing! When do we get a tour? Haha! Nice truck also hehe!

[@CCxRC]

Only tours of the RC spaces. Just did a studio walk through live video

[@BlvlWmpower]

I think the Kyosho Foxx paddle tires fit this if you ever want to hit the beach.

[@RCRitterFPV]

Nice pad you got there, love that yard. fun truck, looks great. be a better beach basher than my Mt410.. afraid of that salt water.

[@insanemadmanroom2299]

Put the rear steering it

[@rykerthestryker777]

What is it like compared to the LMT?

[@mickd8188]

Nice run Mr Monster truck 👍

[@idrum2loud]

Love it!

[@ThatsDickedUp]

Isn't this a 7.2V car? Doesn't a 3s Lipo battery exceed 7.2 v by a lot, or do I misunderstand how that all works? (or is this car not stock?)

[@Ghostmaker36]

😂 how are you the only one that makes this thing look good, everyone else makes it look fragile, but can definitely tell you’re missing the races bro, wish you were still here to be apart, would be great to meet you, I joined right as you were leaving

[@CCxRC]

The videos I have seen of it looked pretty good. As far as the links popping...I wonder if they stretch after use and that happens more frequently over time. I only ran it on 3s, and didn't really open it up. I have more fun freestyling it than going big.

[@DragonfireRC]

@@CCxRC You have the right of it Tony. This is a great trail rig, or the 3s freestyle you are doing, open it up and go big jumping and it will have issues. It has way too much power on 4s for the ancient solid axle design, becomes really hard to control at high speeds, especially with stock steering setup.

[@andrewrichey7374]

Awesome Tony!!😎 Love my mad crusher, also I have the mad cruiser nitro, also the X Fox they are a lot of fun Awesome video appreciate you sharing

[@CCxRC]

You’ve got a good amount of Kyosho trucks! Very nice

[@blacksheeprc8113]

What monster truck would you recommend I want a bad ass one lol should I get losi and upgrade or start with something else thank you for the help

[@robertshaw8676]

Want one

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

Kyosho definitely makes some gorgeous bodies! Just not sure on this one. In was considering it before the SCX6 took my money though. 😂 Great video as usual. 👊🏼

[@CCxRC]

They do know how to make gorgeous bodies. The SCX6 and LMT are two good ones to have

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

@@CCxRC saw somewhere someone making. Ice stunt ramps and selling them. Now I can’t find for the life of me. Just don’t have time to build nice ones right now. #realtorlife

[@waltbrown6650]

Do you build your jumps or do you know where i can purchase some like you have?

[@Cbam871]

If I wanted to I could get this, it looks great! But I'm just trying to pay down debts currently. How do you feel having scratched the white body?

[@CCxRC]

Totally get that. I’m never worried about scratching bodies. I get them to run

[@Cbam871]

@@CCxRC all my bodies I have I'm scared to scratch in a sorta way. But I'm really trying to not be worried about it much. That's why I changed my lmt to an escalade

How many minutes of run time and how long to re-charge

[@binojgeorge8135]

Nice

[@pthrelkeld090]

You telling me the rates arent adj?

[@bradkalman2353]

You think you'll start seeing this in some competitions?

[@CCxRC]

Not with the current rules. It is wider than a lot of clubs allow.

[@theRCLlama]

I know I'm bumping an old vid but I'm at a complete loss for decision making between the lmt and this USA 1... I'm afraid of not having the best parts support if I go with the usa1

[@CCxRC]

LMT is my favorite of the two.

[@bradkalman2353]

Just say you love it better than the LMT. Lol

Metro Detroit here. I got mine on Saturday and 4s is crazy, wheelie monster. Was not prepared for how much punch it has.

[@HNunyabusiness]

Want to see the nitro version

[@CentralVAracer]

Curious Tony if the chain drive is the reason for the weak brakes??

[@CCxRC]

Brakes only set to 25% out of the box.

[@Wreckedekcoupe]

Love the truck but she sure isnt up to par with the LMT. Just my 2 cents.

[@CCxRC]

It doesn’t handle the same. The axles on this look strong out of the box

[@salmenda]

Anyone know how it compares to LOSI LMT?

[@CCxRC]

Sings: "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinéad O'Connor :)

[@salmenda]

@@CCxRC I really really enjoy your video's and just wanting to know which to one is best for me. I'm into the scale monster trucks more then something from ARRMA or Traxxas..

[@CCxRC]

@@salmenda the LMT handles more scale than anything Else I’ve run. It’s my favorite soldi axle rtr and basher. For racing, I love my freestyle RC trucks

Really wish Kyosho would stop using Phillips screws.

Great bashing'

Id go nitro...
