a few months ago i was looking on ebay for a cheap car that i could rescue as a basher, so i finally won a car which was so caked in mud and sand that it looked too far gone but i gave it a chance.
after many hours i scraped off the crud from the bulkhead plate and found out it was a kyosho! i looked into the version this buggy was and low and behold it turned out to be a RAMPAGEGP-10 from 1989 this totally sparked my interest in classic nitro cars and from then on i have gone on to pick up:
.KYOSHOOUTLAW RAMPAGE -1989 (truck version of the buggy)
.KYOSHO SANDMASTER 10 - 1993 (was used at an event as a stunt vehicle)

to be honest i adore my two rampage trucks but the parts are so difficult to find i have almost given up so at the moment i am focused on the SANDMASTERand i could really use some help on parts, basically i need bodyshells for all of the cars (and i am aware that someone on the forum remakes shells but i would need a link or something) and possibly two os max cz-r engines to make these cars totally original and also some wheels and tyres for the RAMPAGE GP-10 and possibly some new tyres for the OUTLAW RAMPAGE TRUCK.

there is the origional promo video for these cars here. cheesy music i know.

Marwankw is the guy who does reproduction bodies. I bought an MP-6 body from him on eBay. Very good quality. He might be able to do other cars if enough folks ask for them. I am in need of a Rampage 10 body as well.

i have a 1988 kyosho stinger with an os cz.12 engine in it, just got it running again after sitting for 5 years, runs great, looking to sell it, it would be great to find out if i could find out how much its worth

djyjrlz

sounds sweet, not sure on the value...
really depends on the condition, if it like new then it will be worth a bundle but other than that they will sell for around £50 in decent running condition, think of the market as people looking for a first nitro car and they come across these cars which are cheaper and buy them....not knowing that they are classic....

Iv'e got a kyosho USA-1 nitro crusher nfrom "88-"89. it still turns over though it's been sitting since '94. wondering what it's worth.

djyjrlz

if the engine is still good and it is nice and clean its probably worth $100 - $120

Interested in selling?

zman5000

i haven't seen one on ebay in quite awhile so i still don't know what it's worth. it has a super tigre .28 heli motor in it, and some cirrus servos. and an old jr alpina pcm radio, 27mhz am.

USA-1 4x4

Are you asking that to sell it or just by curiosity??? That would be a great timing, as i'm currently strongly looking for one of these!!!!!

USA-1 4x4

Anyone has an idea (approx.) of the top speed of this USA-1??

Depends on the engine. OS specifically made the .21RG for s-chassis Kyosho cars (USA-1, early infernos), this engine was the only one that would work with the USA-1's stock exhaust, so most of them were built up with it. The .21RG had ridiculous amounts of torque, but really no top end. My USA-1 with an RG tops out at around 35-40, those big ass tires weigh a lot, and really effect the performance. A more powerful engine could push it faster, but you would just blow up the diff rings. The drivetrain in the USA-1 was not the strongest.

i used an old hb pipe on mine, and the chassis is i think a kyosho vanning with a gear reduction unit.

First, I have no experience or knowledge about RC vechiles at all. I have a Kyosho Tracker my wife bought me in 1993. it was and still is my first rc. it has mostly sat and done nothing all its life. I put a fresh battery in it a few months ago and it kinda ran. Very erattic! Is there any where to get parts or a compleate electrical upgrade? If I could get it going my kids would love it.Thanks

I just pulled out two flawless DatsunFairladys and Stepsides from my basement. They look like they should be in a museum! I will post pics soon. This forum has be addicted to RC again after over 15yrs.

Same here, I just dusted off a Kyosho Outlaw electric from when I was younger that I remember running in front of our house 15+ years ago.  Glad my dad hung on to it and my old Grasshopper!
