markbt73 5290 Posted May 10, 2021 Psst... hey, Kyosho: do a kit version with a clear body, so I can paint it up like my 1:1 truck. GMT400 bodies are hard to find... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Killajb 1530 Posted May 11, 2021 I'm glad Kyosho is continuing to put out new models since the company was purchased by Shinsei Bank. Hopefully, this will be followed up with more goodies like a re-re Optima mid. This offering is a bit pricey, but I get it.. They already had the Mad Crusher platform (which seems very capable but for whatever reasons wasn't wildly popular among MT fans), and just needed a licensed body to cap it off to connect the history of the USA-1 in both monster truck reality and Kyosho product history. I'm curious to see how the this will fare against Losi's LMT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tamiya_1971 608 Posted May 11, 2021 Interesting that it’s 1:8 scale. Nice looking MT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm with ya there, Mark. I looked at the jconcepts bodies but they just look wrong, front fenders, angle of nose, windscreen angle, plus the oversized guards and would have to chop off and fabricate a factory bumper... just to make a regular c1500. This kyosho is just a regurgitated Mad Force with a non licenced Chevy body, no thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markturbo 135 Posted May 20, 2021 Although an actual rerelease would have been good this truck still looks pretty cool and I'll probably end up with one at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steponit! 23 Posted May 21, 2021 Any shops taking 'pre-orders' yet? I've emailed Stellamodels last week but got no reply... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tamiya3speed 461 Posted May 21, 2021 My LHS was able to call Kyosho directly and pre-order. You can always do that route, but it isn't up on the USA site yet so would require an email. Not sure about Kyosho distribution in other countries though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
