I rarely see anyone posting that they have a Kyosho truck. I want to know how popuplar the Kyosho's are for the MT's. I see a lot of people with their 1/8 scale buggies, but not the trucks.

The Mad Force, Twin Force and soon to be Giga Crusher... are some of the best MT's that hit the market and are extremely under rated. Mad Force, excellent crawling ability, very fun for wheelies too. (same goes for Twin Force). The giga crusher... i assume... is the remake of the USA1 Nitro Crusher, but will be a demon with its twin 26 engines. What month of RCCA was that? They screwed up my subscription, so I m missing like 1/4 of it so far and I am in process of getting them back... stupid subscription handlers.

Can you give me the review scores they gave it? I just talked to RCCA and they said they WONT replace the ones they made a mistake on, the giga crusher review is what I want but that wont happen now.

RE: giga crusher ! has any one driven it?
The only thing that bothers me is the engines in the front???? if they have it right ,, every one else has it wrong. the quality on their other trucks is very good, so i think the build quality will be good. i can't see it will be stable under brakes and turning in to corners.
any thoughts?

RE: giga crusher ! has any one driven it?
I hust finished my Giga Crusher. The build was good and the fitment is great.
The truck is heavy but very solid. I have only run 4 tanks so I can not tell you how fast it is.
The motors are easy to start and tune. I did not have either motor stall during the complete tanks.
I was only able to hit 2nd gear being that I have very rich settings for break in. So far it is great. Very smooth and the power seems to be there. The sound of both engines is amazing and I can't wait to finish another 4 tanks so I can lean her out.
Anyone else have one ?

Oh, and could you post some details too.
Suspension? How is it?
Weight?
Turning radius? Compared to other MT's you've owned?

The shocks are pretty stiff. The truck is heavy so it needs strong shocks. I do not think it will be a great jumper as it is heavy and I think the rebound on the shocks might bounce it over.
The transmission is nice and smooth. Reverse operates very well also. I am off tomorrow so I will finish breaking it in and take some pics for you guys.
So far I am pleased. Kyosho in my opinion, make the best kits out there. It's no Revo, but I did not buy this truck for racing. If you are not going to race, then this is the baddest truck out.
Once you hear the motors in synch, you will grin from ear to ear.
