Does anyone have one of Kyosho Giga Crasher (either SF or DF)? What do you think about the truck? I'm thinking about getting a new truck, I already own a savage and HB stadium. Overhere don't provide much choice. There are HPI, Kyosho, Tamiya and Ofna. I'd like Revo, but no Traxxas dealer here. Thanks for any opinion! Prefer kit version thogh! Just curious, who carries Kyosho in US?

Hey Greyhound! Unfortunately, I don't own the Giga Crusher, but I do have two of the old USA-1 Nitro Crushers, along with a Revo and Savage and I still love that old Nitro Crusher! Man, that thing just takes the abuse! I don't run either too much because it's next to impossible to find parts for them, but I sure do love 'em!
Not many carry Kyosho is the states anymore because Great Planes and Kyosho terminated their agreement, so now dealers have to deal directly with Kyosho America or you can yourself. I've actually dealt with them directly and was very surprised at how quick they were to respond and help! I just wish more shops carried their stuff!

In my opinion, it is, but I'm wondering why you're not inclined to try the Savage again? Just because you've had one?
The Revo is a pretty tough rig right out of the box, but if you add RPM arms and axle carriers, you won't need to order many parts for it! You might consider a couple extra spur gears, push rods and toe rods just to have on hand. That's really about the only parts I've broken on mine.

Thank you. My Savage is still in great shape, but I just don't want to have the same 2 trucks. How Crasher handling compare to Savage? I saw the crasher video its shock absorbers seems to be too stiff.
Oh, well, then I'd get the Revo! My Crusher handles like poop compared to my Revo! Not nearly as nimble. If you want better handling, get the Revo.
No problem! Feel free to search the Revo forum for more opinions on that and the Savage. Lots of them there!
