Kyosho USA-1 GP .25 Engine MT 1/8 Scale 4WD Nitro Monster Truck – RTR

Introduction

USA-1 GP .25 Engine MT 1/8 Scale 4WD Nitro Monster Truck – RTR from Kyosho – KYO33155

Version Info: This car is delivered as “RTR”, however it does require 4x AA batteries for the transmitter, and 4x AA batteries for the receiver. This is the nitro version which also requires glow fuel, fuel bottle and plug heater (see Requires below for details).

The original Kyosho Nitro USA-1 set the standard for RC Monster Truck power and performance when it was released in 1990. 30 years later, the torch has passed to the newest Nitro USA-1, which outperforms the original in EVERY respect. Yes, it’s that much better and we even build it for you.

Built on a pickup truck chassis, large diameter tires and big engines with massive horsepower were installed by fun-loving American off-roaders to create the monster truck. These ever-popular monster trucks can be seen on specially-made racing circuits or jumping rows of cars in stadiums across the USA. Many R/C monster truck models have been produced over the years. First among equals is the legendary 1/8 scale USA-1 that embodied the might of American trucking power during the 1980s and 90s. Officially licensed by Kyosho in the 1990s, the R/C model uniquely captured the power and glory of the USA-1. Now its comeback-time for the USA-1, with modern chassis and drivetrain technology, upgrades unique to the USA-1 throughout, and a newly-designed ULTRA SCALE BODY with form and detail finished to display-model standards.

The iconic American flag graphic emblazoned on the body makes your heart swell with pride! The chassis features shaft-driven 4WD and 5-link suspension based on the Mad Crusher 2.0 & FO-XX models. Most of the suspension components have been uniquely upgraded and reinforced for the USA-1 at each point to handle the powerful new KE25SP2 engine, and the rigors of monster trucking. A 3-speed automatic transmission produces dynamic acceleration, which is enhanced by a true suspension system to produce “scale” running characteristics worthy of the prestigious USA-1, and make you feel like a monster truck driving god. Released as a pre-assembled Readyset, the USA-1 is almost ready for action straight out of the box and it is backed by Motion RC’s world-renowned customer service and technical support. Drive on!
