Kyosho: 1/8 GP RS Motor Powered 4WD Monster Truck USA-1 VE Readyset
The original electric USA-1 was the most popular Monster Truck in Kyosho history… A completely new version of the USA-1 comes 30 years later with more scale detail, freakishly more power, more durability, and more dynamic suspension. This is a game changer!
Born in the USA, the monster truck symbolizes America: big, bold, and powerful! With pickup truck bodies emblazoned with dynamic motifs mounted on super tough chassis structures and big engines to power huge tires, monster truck racing filled and thrilled stadiums around America and the world with their awesome power and speed. Recreated on a 1/8 scale as an R/C truck, the “USA-1” flies the American flag loud and proud as the recognized symbol of monster trucking. Dating back to the 1990s, Kyosho’s earlier versions have been fully renewed with a newly created ULTRA SCALE body, uniquely reinforced 5-link suspension, and stronger solid axles originally used on the Mad Crusher and FO-XX 2.0. Equipped with a high-power brushless motor with a 4-pole rotor and 12-slot stator generating 2300KV, the VE (electric power version) delivers outrageous speed and power characteristics that would rival that of the real USA-1. The high-powered unit produces a dynamic performance that makes the large 570mm body length of the USA-1 feel smaller with acceleration pickup from a standing start surpassing that of the GP (engine-powered) version. As a pre-assembled Readyset, the body is immaculately finished with paint and livery to capture the rich sense of the scale of this iconic 1990s machine. A charged motor battery and batteries for the transmitter are all that are required to start the action. With spare parts and a wide range of optional parts available to continually maintain and enhance performance, your USA-1 will provide thrilling fun over a long time.
