Default -Kyosho Mad Force & Giga Crusher-

I used to think this truck was dumb, until I saw it debut in RCCA called "Monster X".

For people who complain about the tires not compatible with anything, New Era has some adapters for Tmaxx wheels and tires... they are flawless on this truck.

Who has one they are willing to brag about? I have mine on order, and I plan to drop in a Dynamite Mach 26 and get some upgrades to the suspension.

I cant wait to see it (giga). It will be popular to the guys who have to have the best. I'd rather have the single over the twin 26's, just imagine trying to keep them tuned together lol.

Giga will grow with fashion quickly. Remember the USA1? Everyone talked about them and they were always talked about for 10 years straight until kyosho discontinued them. I have a feeling this Giga Crusher is the NEW USA 1. It has the attitude of a USA 1 Also, Kyosho has recently come out with some very good basher trucks like the .15 infernos and Monsters. i wish to be getting a Giga in the next year or so.

If these 'people' always talked about them, why did kyosho discontinue them...? Usually a company would do that if they don't get alot of sales...

This happened because the truck was made in the late 80's (if i remember correctly). They dropped it from production because it had its 15 minutes of fame already. No company keeps a truck going with out updating it that long, and it didn't get updated, it was that good. Hopefully the Giga Crusher takes that path too.

That was stupid[sm=surprised.gif], kyosho should have done what associated does with the GT, have a conversion kit come out every few years to keep up with the times.

How was it stupid? Then it would end up like the tmaxx and people would spend thousand of bucks just to make it the best. Obviously you don't know much about the truck otherwise you wouldn't cut it down. U do this to every truck you dont like.

USA-1 Nitro Crusher:

Also, this was a real monster truck. There were hop ups all over the market, it used to be like the Tmaxx that is today. Here are some upgrades u can get today: [link=http://www.neweramodels.com/prod16.htm?session_id=dicxvevgljuifbneyhlvoulhbdvj qprd]USA1 Upgrades[/link]

Well if kyosho had a good truck that was selling why not go with it!? Associated and Losi do and they make alot of $$$$ with it. and as i recall the last chatting i had with you, you loved the T-Maxx...you changed.[sm=surprised.gif]

I do love the Tmaxx, it brought the monsters of RC back. I'd rather get a truck that follows the path of the USA1 NC, something that is unstopable.

I advise not to cut down a company for what they did for their own success, they know what they are doing.. It isnt like trying to come up with a new Final Fantasy game every year lol

I still think setting up 2 engines to run the same would be a pain... if they were slightly off, talk about headaches.
