Kyosho have released their entry into the CORR series class with the introduction of the new 1/10th scale DRT, Desert Race Truck. The latest spec .18 powered race truck brings home the goods in this new era of off-road action, with the advanced chassis design promising real racing performance while superior handling allows it to be easy to drive. The stable stance lets you power through the dirt even on blown out 1/8th buggy tracks and takes on big jumps without missing a beat. Under the advanced engineered body is an optimized chassis layout with the DRT sharing many of its parts, option parts and performance with the DBX and DST. Kyosho knows what you want and so the DRT comes fully assembled and ready to hit the dirt.



GXR .18
New GXR .18 now delivers monster torque and power with Kyosho?s proven reliability.

Massive 105cc Fuel Tank
Includes newly designed 105cc fuel tank to supply the large 18-size engine. Delivers stable fuel supply even under severe driving conditions. Can deliver run times of more than 10 minutes.

Compatibility
80% of DST/DBX parts and option parts are compatible with the DRT.

No Guess Work
Lower suspension arms are both the same front and rear, this takes out all the guess work with part numbers.

Fully Interchangeable
Front / rear and left / right suspension arms, front / rear knuckles and front / rear shock stays are all interchangeable. Newly designed suspension with maintenance-friendly ball connect system.

Dirt Proof Radio Box
Dirt-proof radio box protects the receiver and battery box from the outside elements. It can be attached or removed from the chassis with just four screws for easy maintenance.

Fully Digital Servos
A new two-channel radio is included with the GT2. The radio features throttle and steering trim adjustments, dual-rate to simultaneously increase or reduce left and right steering travel, and servo reversing switches for both channels. The servos are the digital variety for superior response.

Shaft Drive
The drive shafts run through the center for chassis to give you better lower CG and optimum weight balance.

Looks cool,but is it Kyosho's answer to the Traxxas Slayer?    

[dom13]

i dont really like the look of it only the body

[calum101]

Anyone think they are copying the Team Associated SC8?

Nope.
It's different than the Slayer and SC8

[Mr Terminator]

The Kyosho looks good for sure,the RC8 is a 1/8 scale CORR truck and basically just a RC8 with a truck shell but boy does it look good,a little expensive maybe but still nice.The Traxass Slayer is the nicest one in my opinion thats available so far,Revo chassis with a lower C of G,what more can you ask for.??So many nice models becoming available,its like a crack dealer waving his wares outside the local alcohol and drug rehab centre.....

[adolf hamster]

it lokks ok but i reckon that the slayer is still the best, reasonably priced and a great chassis, the sc8 is waay overpriced and tbh i think that one looks ok.

[Evil_Sheep]

Looks a very similar layout to the hpi mt2

[r3nos]

Nice, but imo it should have been a 1/8 to compete with the rest of the CORR trucks

[joe of loath]

lol, all the CORR trucks are different formats... The Slash is 1/8 electric, the DT isnt even a CORR truck, the slayer is built on a revo chassis (so is a 1/8 MT really), the SC8 is built on a 1/8 buggy and this is 1/10 nitro...

i thought both the slash and slayer both called themselves 1/10 although they were really 1/8 size? this is definatly the smallest though and i would wonder what the off road performance is like.

yeah you're right. I assume it'll handle a bit like MT2 but more unstable.

what kind of unstable? sideways or upside down

Upside down I guess, as its narrower but the same height.

[midi-mania]

i think this is a perfect candidate for making a twin engined nitro desert truck lol, either this or the slayer STOP TEMPTING ME
