From Kyosho:
The famous USA-1 rides high again with this latest 1:8-scale model produced under license of the USA-1 4X4 Monster Truck team. The completely new Ultra-Scale body has been recreated with the precision details that uniquely make it the USA-1 Monster Truck. It sits atop a modified super-tough chassis equipped with a realistic and robust solid axle suspension front and rear, which can be converted to 4-wheel steering with some optional parts. With modern power systems to match the USA-1 in both name and performance, this package sets new standards of brute power compared to the original Kyosho USA-1 RC trucks. The only question is which one; Nitro or Brushless electric power?

In the early seventies, auto makers began to offer four-wheel drive in passenger trucks where it had previously just been available in agriculture and industry. It wasn’t long before enterprising performance enthusiasts like Everett Jasmer and a small handful of others started modifying their trucks for increasing levels of performance. This was the genesis of a friendly rivalry that, over time, would motivate an escalation of performance and innovation that eventually led to what we know today as the Monster Truck. Everett Jasmer emerged from this rivalry as one of the God Fathers of Monster Trucks, and the USA-1 as one of the most revered Monster Trucks of all time. It remains one of the inspirations for modern monster trucks and their fans around the globe even to this day.

Using the famous team USA-1 monster truck as the blueprint, Kyosho immortalizes one of the greatest trucks to inspire the phrase “Monster Truck” with an all-new version of the USA-1 as an Ultra-Scale body. In addition to its stunning details, it also features easy installation of optional LED light sets that help bring an even higher level of USA-1 realism to the RC community.

This machine shouts ‘red, white and blue’ with pride!

Featuring the inspirational stars and stripes of the American flag, the livery keeps faith with the true USA-1 machine.

This Car is Special to me.  Because it was one of my First RC Cars  30years Ago ,  dual brushed with dual esc.  Most Bad Ass RC Car that time.

 

I will buy one coming Autumn.

Need buy other stuff before this.

 

What do you like it ?

Will you buy one?

Did you also have the Original USA-1 like 20-30years ago like me ?

Will you buy  BL or Nitro?  Both ? 🙂

Did you have Electric or Nitro USA-1 before? Or maybe Both?   

I did have the dual electric motor one. About 28 years ago with 8shocks, Big brutal strong car that time..  This is why i need buy the new one very bad this year 🙂

Im happy this new version Looks almost same.  Anyways  there is new things. like  Wheeliebar, Led Lights, Brushless system. And other aproved modern stuff.  Looks the same, only Better. 

This will be very fun one i Believe.

And Maybe better than the Losi Gravedigger ?

 

 

 

[Jumper]

this should be in the news section 

 

Yes

Yes already pre ordered mine 

No

Nitro

No

I believe the original nitro USA-1 was a buggy with monster truck wheel and they just made the body high up. 

 

This one is based on the Mad Crusher / FOXX 2.0, but with a few updates. 

 

Dont think it will be as strong as the LMT, but for me the nitro is what makes this one stand out. 

[Crazy L]

Yes, the original USA 1 Nitro crusher was a Burns rally/x chassis with montyzooma wheels n tyres bolted on and was a bit of a beast by all accounts.

 

I dont know alot about the old electric version though.  

 

I wouldn't touch the new nitro version, I have an MGT, also, my experience with Kyoshos own engines are that they are a bit poo.

 

I do like the look of the newer version though, even though it isn't an actual rerelease.  The only kyosho I have ever owned was a  Big Brute.  

 

I do have too many RCs right now though.  Hmmmm

[Tug]

Nine minute runtime? What did they test it on? 1200mah nicd?

Nine minute runtime?

 

It's 1/8th scale, 5Kg in weight, a 2300kv motor and on 2-4s, so yeah, sounds near the mark to me.

 

If one were to put a 2000kv in it and run 8000mah packs, it would be longer, but then people may moan it "only" has a 2000kv plant in it.  

[Tug]

Yeah, I was only joking. 

[m-racing]

Many Nitro guys  here :)

 

Well OK, Maybe.

The real USA-1 feeling goes to Nitro offcourse.   This is the most magic moment in RC ever last 30years

USA-1 truck Nitro

 

Now you have it soon again Guys.

 

Cool thing

 

this is large one.  360mm wheelbase.

You need push all / full throttle 

 

Nice,  we can ride fast also maybe ?

Well these wheels make it Bounce alot anyways .

 

Please send pictures and videos as soon you got one of these.

USA-1 is the MOTHER of all MT

in real

also in RC.

 

Who will be first ?

I did gather.  I like the bit about the 1200 nicads, kids these days will never know the struggle.

[m-racing]

I will wait for the roller version my self

 

there is no way i buy one 360mm wheelbase MT with shortcourse 1/10  4s ESC at 120a max

 

NEVER

 

Why is this happen ?

15bucks more and have 150 max8 there. No problems then

 

Goddamn,  120a  1/10 scale  ESC in USA-1   1/8

 

this is insaine

poor

[m-racing]

im in 

pre ordered this one

 

i will first second after i open this box change the combo to  max8  150a  with bigger 4274 motor,    this is one   1900kv combo  i have left over now

 

I will try run my USA-1   4s  and do some gearing.      

 

this will stay 4s  ,  i have alot fast rc,s  already,  anyways i can sometimes  go 6s if i feel.

 

The  USA1- stock combo i will use in my old slash 4x4   at  4s ,    Because it is more ok,  leight weight,  and  this car has small wheels size also.,

im sure the stock USA-1combo feels better here in one smaller SLASH than in 

this huge 1/8  monster

 @Tomley RC has USA 1 video out - look at the bloody size of it!!! 
 

 

Yep that’s a lunchbox on top 😳

[Nitroholic]

Looks like the running gear is basically the same as my old 1/8 scale Madforce Kruiser. That was nitro...but I converted it to brushless.

 

They have, by the looks of it, got 4 link rather than the older layout....which is something I might have to look closer at. Got some thick 12mm ally plate to make some axle clamps from.

[Kpowell911]

The twin motor mount (guessing from the Brushed Days) is interesting, suprised its still there

[Stormbringer]

Hmm im looking for a decent 1/8 MT and considered the new Savage but i think i would go for this over that now 

[turok007]

Don't look like it is that strong

Looks like a shelfer rather than a basher if that makes as sense. Nice looking rig though

[Tomley RC]

Hopefully get it out for a little bash this week...

 

Plans are to Dual motor it with a pair of max8's... yes, way over kill but why not haha. (probably only run it 4s though) 

 

 

[Nitroholic]

does look good though.....

 

and if its like the old Madforce.... its tougher than it looks

[PraetoR]

It looks fantastic! 

[Yorkshireman]

Really like this,   thing is....it's too nice to bash !!

[Jumper]

Still waiting for mine to arrive. Plently of electric trucks out in the wild, but not seen a nitro one in the UK yet
