Kyosho USA-1

Post by tuna.Rc »

Got this turd in a crap ebay deal. I cleaned her up a bit. It needs new ball cup ends and its ready for electrics . Anyone know what a good pair of brushed motors and reverseable ESC would be ? I think it'd be a nice little truck to cruise around the yard with . I honestly think the quality is poor. If there was an upgrade for the plastic dog bones and a steering mod , it'd be decent for more serious playing. Maybe later ill get a nicer body. I feel that it'd be a waist of money now.

Upgraded drivetrain parts show up frequently on eBay but aren't cheap.

Based on all of the Thorp lots that are on ebay, you may begin to see these items appear at a very good price in the near future.

the stock HPI set up out of an e-savage runs one very nicely, not too expensive either, I use their Saturn in my Kyosho twin force

Nice find! For an ESC get a EVX-2. It will run two motors nicely and has reverse and LVC if you are planning on running Lipos.
