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

Is the Kyosho Mad Van VE Japan's Fastest Monster Truck? (RC). GPS Speed Run on 3s! They only recommend 2s, but I'm sure 3s will be fun! I have the NEW Kyosho USA-1 VE coming soon, I'm not sure if that's faster? We shall see! Who else Loves RC Monster Trucks?

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.

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.

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

[@zoridor16]

Hi friend! I love the Ve version of Madvan, it has a very nice body! Do you think that the differentials and gears resist 46 mph for prolonged periods? Will the crown and pinion wear out quickly with 3s? Cheers!

[@rctraildriversuk-lone-wolfvide]

so close to the 50k, nice video when mad van slid on its roof i thought paint would be FUBAR but no

[@TomleyRC]

Haha... yeah, I was genuinely scared it was gonna be scratched to pieces

[@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.
