Kyosho KC10 LC60

[CreepyQuarryCrawler]

I had high hopes for this platform. I am still hopeful they'll sell enough to warrant releasing another body and maybe it'll be something I'll be interested in.

I am hoping for a 2nd or 3rd gen 4Runner or a pickup truck like a T1000.

Anyone else have eyeballs on this truck?

Good looking rig.

I am waiting for a builders kit. I KNOW Kyosho won't let me down in this one!!!

The LC60 is a great looking truck tho, right?!

I like it as is. I wish the rtr radio was upgrade capable tho. It needs another chnl if you want to add dig servo.

I think that was a mistake for Kyosho.

Otherwise, I see vids, ppl seem to like it. It seems to handle trails and crawls ok. Not that I know anything about crawling but it didn't have a big stick behind it pushing it up the hills either.

I have no crawlers and I am POSITIVE that I need at least 1 or 5. The KB10 chassis COULD be my first!

Some ppl think I have a bias towards Kyosho. I'm not sure where that idea comes from tho.

Your screen name should be CertifiedKyoshoMike

It is very pretty! I know this is blasphemy, but I'm just not a LandCruiser type of guy. Hence why I am looking for them to release other offerings. I want to support but I also want to love what I am buying.

I completely agree with you on the radio. Not being 100% compatible with their upgrade path was a miss, for sure.

There's a gent that has one on another forum.

Gosh does it look fantastic in the sand with a trailer attached. The look is certainly growing on me as I see it in the wild!

Those Swampers also fit it perfectly

Yes Sir!!! That is what I'm saying!

Its pretty but it gets down too! Looks tough in the dirt!!!

There were a few vids from a guy on youtube that I watched with the KC10. The truck was getting driven as I imagine I would drive mine. I thought it looks pretty great actually.

I see me using this truck on trails more than rocks. I don't have any cool rock piles on the property. I do have a few local sand and stone pits nearby that might be cool with some RCs tho.

The truck is actually a bit big for my personal taste in RCs. I like smaller RCs. 1/10 buggies are where I started so I think I will always feel 1/10 is 'right'. I also realize that KC10's size also makes it more capable in my back yard.

I think that truck would look SO HOT with some lights on at night busting thru some woods or on top of a mountain of rock and sand!

Yeah dude, that's what I picture too.
All lit up with the right color hues

You're talking like you already entered in your credit card information, scanned your ID and placed the order?

 

[OnwardGuinevere]

That is a hot looking rig! Although I am biased on the Land Cruisers, I love them. Almost bought a 60 series. If I didn't already have a bunch of crawlers and project's already, I'd grab this.

Luckily, I already have a 60 series body and 80 series body for the trx4

When I saw this truck, I thought, oh Gwen is gonna LOVE this thing!!!

I really enjoy watching rc vids. Since I've been noodling some small crawlers for indoors already, my radar has been tuned to potential fun challenges here in the yard.

I can talk myself into a Kyosho sale pretty easily anyways...

I'm a weak man...

I have TONS of rc projects going right now and with grow season starting real soon... I have a bit of time before I'll actually be pulling the trigger.

 

[Doom!]

It's definitely a trail truck, not a crawler, that being said, she's a looker.

It's definitely a win in my book.
I do like the trail trucks a lot. I'm curious how this compares to the trx4...it's probably better since it's not Traxxas , but I'd say my trx4 is a trail truck rather than a crawler too.

Crawler, trail truck...

I SAID KYOSHO DAMMIT!!!

I think in a head to head a TRX4 would be stiff competition stock vs stock. Get a small battery upfront in the TRX4 and you're golden. I don't even think the Kyosho has a different spot that isn't further rearward.

That said it looks like the steering servo is better in the Kyosho VS the standard TRX 2075.

When I picked a TRX4 Sunset upon release back in the day I thought it was a masterpiece to look at.
As Crawler Canyon mentioned, this KC10 seems to look like something from 2016.
Minus the hinge body and inner fenders of course.

Maybe as you mentioned Mike they will have a kit version that has different features; more forward skid, high clearance links.

A boy can dream

Yea, I agree. My TRX4 (Blazer at the time) got me back in the RC game after being gone for a long time. My chassis and electronics are still stock on mine and I'm plenty happy with them. Once I kill something on it, I'll upgrade.

Dealing with lighting and using Traxxas specific components is my only gripe, but I've done that to myself by not going with my own homebrew option there. I think changing the Rx and tx would be beneficial. Again, Traxxas transmitter is not the best. But for now I can bash around the yard and such so really no complaints .

@OnwardGuinevere
Don't be hard on yourself, their lighting kits are gorg and easy to use.

I'll take another excuse to post this picture LOL

Yes they are. They look great on my Blazer. Used the same system for my Rovair version. And one day....I swear I'll get the roof lighting working on that thing.
I'm not sure what the issue is still.

Upgrade review came out from Crawler Canyon

Nice to know there is no glaring red flags for those out there interested in this platform

And I like the tires he picked out!
