Default Racing Kyosho's GIGA single Engine

Hi everyone,

I'd like to know if you guys know of someone racing the new Kyosho's Giga Single Engine ? By "racing"
I mean competing against other MT such as the TMAXX, REVO, TNX and ......
How do you guys think it will perform against these trucks ? thanks.

I dont think this truck has been out long enough for anyone to even consider racing it. That's besides the fact though...

This truck is not made for racing, It's made for bashing... I think the handling characteristics of the truck will not compare to any of the other competetive racers these days.

it is definately not "made" for racing, but neither was the t-maxx. The point I am trying to make is pretty much anything can be raced, but some trucks are better for racing. I think it would be far too heavy to really accelerate well.

if it has only one engine, if it has the second engine that could change alot.

why are you asking only about the single engine version and not the double version?

because the double engine is much heavier and will never be a good racer

I am just saying, it is heavy and bulky, not exactly what one might want for racing. It might do alright if the driver was good and it was the DF version, and a really large track with biiiig straightaways where the 3 speed and dual engine power might help a little... Really depends just what you want out of a truck, if you want a true racer, the giga crusher is not the first truck that comes to mind, but it is probably capable of racing, just a matter of how good the driver is mostly.
