Kyosho announces it's first crawler.

[Ritz413]

I have a bias since owning a 1:1 LC. I approve of more LCs than jeeps any day

Funny cause I own a jeep...and that not a body I look for...at all. My scx24 jlu is far more fun and reliable than my actual daily driver. For looks though....the jeep Comanche pickup might change my mind

Yea you got me there with the Comanche. We have one in town and it may be the only jeep I actually like. I have that in my cue of cars to draw.

I really dig it, time will tell whether it's durable and worthy or not.

I don’t see any natural nylon peaking out from under that shell. I thought the High Council of RC passed new bylaws about that being mandatory now.

We finally got body off shots!

Looks inspired by the VS410 to my eyes at first glance.

Nice to see body on a hinge.

I know on the SNU today there was a statement about how they looked to be center pumpkin.

The housings are indeed offset!

Gears look good!

It honestly looks decent; lots of room to grow.

Transmission features two speed and dig included, just non functional ATM (they're locked out). Nice to see them not trying to nickel and dime you there.

We'll have to see if anything pops up while the reviews drop.

No. I screenshot them from the video to update the thread with new information.

Edit:

This crawler park looks amazing!

This is a great truck for a scaler or trail truck.

Ah yes, I see the ¥74,800 RRP, so about $700 AUD... I might have to wait for reviews but still thinking about it

It's nice enough... but it for sure ain't got nothing on a Comp Fox

Well... I mean, other than being assembled already!

 

[BashingBrian]

So, after seeing more pics and some vids i'm starting to like it..!!
Love the fact it doesn't have ridiculous large wheels/tire combo like some other trucks on the market they look to be the correct size for the body.
Also like the pricing, UK it's currently pre-order £389.!! that's over £200 cheaper than a TRX4 (any version except sport)
Hate the naming, but it makes sense KC10 - Kyosho Crawler 10th scale very easy to know what you're getting (just reminds me of RC10 )
I'd love to know if it's a true Kyosho product or just something Chinese with Kyosho's branding and name on it.?

SBG has a long vid showing the truck (I'm currently watching it) enjoy..

 

[Ritz413]

It's cool, not as much of a take my money scenario as I thought it could be. I would have to hit a decent sale to pick 1 of these up. I'm probably not the right demographic to be super excited about it. If yer a big Toyota fan that probably helps.

 

[CertifiedMike]

I am not thrilled about paying extra for an officially licensed body on a truck I'm likely to trash.
This will be my first crawler/trail truck so is likely so see lots of noob damage.
$75 off with a generic lid would be great for me.

I feel like there will be a lot more releases, hopefully a builders kit rather than just rtr. Seems like 2speeds and more will be out soon too.

I am pretty likely to buy some version(s) of this truck.

If we say it's a crawler weighted wheels and new tires, $$. Not a Toyota guy, $$ for a new body. 2 servos for dig and 2 speed trans to work,$$. Likely an upgrade of the esc/motor, $$$$.
As a trail truck it's probably much more well equipped without major investment.

There is a ton more info on the Kyosho websit here. Price is listed at ¥74,800 which is around 500 bucks.

Judging by the body post holes molded into the shock towers. I have a feeling we are definitely going to see a lot more versions of this thing.

Regarding the 2-speed. The trans is already a 2-speed locked in low. You just need a servo to unlock shiftability. That's pretty cool!

I hope the little arms and adapters are avail separate.
I don't care for factory servos. I've yet to find one that wasn't total crap with an expensive sticker on the side.

I didn't follow what the reviewer was saying about how 2spd was included but not set up... I get it now.
