KYOSHO MONSTER TRUCKS USA-1 GP Nitro/VE Brushless Electric

Now Loading...

RETURN OF THE LEGENDS! These giants in the monster truck world are BACK!

The famous USA-1 rides high again with this latest 1:8-scale model produced under license of the USA-1 4X4 Monster Truck team. The completely new Ultra-Scale body has been recreated with the precision details that uniquely make it the USA-1 Monster Truck. It sits atop a modified super-tough chassis equipped with a realistic and robust solid axle suspension front and rear, which can be converted to 4-wheel steering with some optional parts. With modern power systems to match the USA-1 in both name and performance, this package sets new standards of brute power compared to the original Kyosho USA-1 RC trucks. The only question is which one; Nitro or Brushless electric power?

The“First National Champion”of Monster Truck Racing. HISTORY OF USA-1

Everett Jasmer USA-1 realism

In the early seventies, auto makers began to offer four-wheel drive in passenger trucks where it had previously just been available in agriculture and industry. It wasn't long before enterprising performance enthusiasts like Everett Jasmer and a small handful of others started modifying their trucks for increasing levels of performance. This was the genesis of a friendly rivalry that, over time, would motivate an escalation of performance and innovation that eventually led to what we know today as the Monster Truck. Everett Jasmer emerged from this rivalry as one of the God Fathers of Monster Trucks, and the USA-1 as one of the most revered Monster Trucks of all time. It remains one of the inspirations for modern monster trucks and their fans around the globe even to this day.

USA-1 realism

USA-1 Nitro readyset w/KT-231P+

USA-1 VE readyset w/KT-231P+

Using the famous team USA-1 monster truck as the blueprint, Kyosho immortalizes one of the greatest trucks to inspire the phrase "Monster Truck" with an all-new version of the USA-1 as an Ultra-Scale body. In addition to its stunning details, it also features easy installation of optional LED light sets that help bring an even higher level of USA-1 realism to the RC community.

This machine shouts ‘red, white and blue’ with pride!

Featuring the inspirational stars and stripes of the American flag, the livery keeps faith with the true USA-1 machine.

Highly detailed injection-molded parts such as the headlights and the grille, are attached to the polycarbonate body, which is ready for an easy installation of the optional LED lights. The chassis-mounted front bumper recreates the look and feel of the real truck. Many of the body details are original designs from USA-1 4X4, Inc., which are reproduced in great detail by Kyosho based on the famous 1988 monster truck.

REAR FACE

Like other unique aspects of the USA-1 styling, the rear end has been accurately recreated with the tail lamps that are also ready for optional LED installations, and like the front end, the injection-molded heavy-duty chrome rear bumper provides an extra level of scale detail that is uniquely vintage "USA-1."

DOUBLE-TUBE LIGHT BAR and OFF-ROAD LIGHTS

A row of five off-road lights are mounted on the chrome double-tube light bar just as they appear on the actual monster truck. Even the light covers represent those featured on the actual truck.

Install optional LED sets (97054-4B x 3 and 97054-4CR x 1. One LED is not used),
for a total of 15 lights.

Protector for the roll cage prevents damage if the truck overturns.

REALISTIC CARBURETORS

Recreating the look of the 1,200+ horsepower engine, the triple Predator carburetors that mount to the top of the supercharger, are realistically reproduced and attached to the chassis.

WINDOW & SIDE-VIEW MIRRORS

Pre-painted body features clear windows and detachable chrome side mirrors.

NEW 'MONSTER' TIRES AND WHEELS

The USA-1 includes accurate reproductions of the 66-inch agriculture tires and white wheels that were featured on the real USA-1 throughout its career. Foam inserts are installed inside the tires to maximize handling on a variety of surfaces.

RIGID AXLE SUSPENSION

Front and rear axle housings have been reinforced to withstand increased crash impacts.

'4-GEAR' DIFFERENTIALS

The front and rear axles feature fully functional differentials, complete with four metal spider gears that increase durability and allow different rotation speeds between the left and right tires when turning, for more nimble handling and easier driving characteristics.

'5-LINK SUSPENSION

BIG BORE SHOCKS

5-link rigid suspension and large-capacity oil shocks provide plenty of suspension travel to charge confidently over rough terrain. The big shocks work in combination with the huge tires to overcome even large obstacles.

KE25SP2

Equipped with the new KE25SP2 engine, the easier-to-adjust low-speed needle produces more power than the previous KE25SP engine. Fitted with a pull starter, the engine settings have been optimized at the factory. You'll also enjoy the exhilarating growl of the engine through the polished, light-weight tuned pipe.

BREAK-IN RING

The included engine "break-in" venturi makes it easier to break in the engine with less concerning about over-revving the engine, especially for first-time owners of a nitro-powered monster truck.

3PCS CLUTCH

Three-piece clutch shoe delivers superior durability and more precise clutch engagement regardless of the clutch shoe material. The clutch engagement RPM can be adjusted with the use of optional clutch springs (sold separately).

3-SPEED TRANSMISSION & CHAIN DRIVE

3-speed automatic transmission makes effective use of the nitro engine's power band. A rugged chain-drive reliably and very efficiently transmits power from the engine to the front and rear axles.

DISC BRAKE

A disc brake system produces reliable and consistent stopping power in the nitro version of the USA-1.

FULL BALL BEARINGS

GP: Full ball bearing specs (21)

DRIVE SHAFT

New universal center drive shafts front and rear are standard (also telescopic in front) ensures power transfer efficiency and prevents shafts from dropping out.

KYOSHO SPEED HOUSE TORX 8＋ / KYOSHO SPEED HOUSE BRAINZ 8

The newly-developed brushless motor in the USA-1 generates 300rpm more per volt than the previous version motor. In addition, the waterproof ESC (speed controller) with maximum voltage of 14.8V (2 x 2S Lipo packs), allows setting adjustment of braking power, punch force, cutoff voltage, etc.

BRUSHLESS MOTOR POWER & CHAIN DRIVE

Full power of the newly-designed brushless motor is reliably transmitted by the rugged chain drive. This version is equipped with a slipper clutch to protect the drive system from the brutal acceleration potential of the new and more powerful 4-pole brushless motor.
