So awesome. We were just gifted the VE from the infamous RC Elf. I never thought I’d ever own such a beast. These are truly the ultimate monster trucks
Thanks for the updates on the truck. I've been holding off on break in waiting to see how you resolve the trans issue before I have my own problems. It looks like taking it apart and lubing the needle bearings before I break it in is going to be the way to go. I'll hold off on the metal gears until I need them. Thanks again. This is great stuff.
Nice to see the truck back I had the original 20+ years ago, gs engine was crap so installed a race nova Rossi that was interesting ! Shame the reliability of kyosho components still haunts them as the hpi savage x 4.6 is around the same price range and those things are pretty indestructible as that’s what I run now also this new USA looks to bouncy over the bumps can’t see it being much of a jumper like the savage is
I primarily got this for the 3 speed lol, I love hearing it shift and sadly HPi doesn't make the 3 speed savage XL anymore....if they bring it back I'd definitely buy it. The USA 1 has a very stiff suspension but the articulation is great. I was thinking of putting some lower viscosity shock oil in to soften it up a bit
Well, tried mine with new vxb one way bearings and a hardened shaft. Didn't set up third gear. So it was working wonderfully, shifting from 1st to 2nd no issues. So fast! And then POOF, the first gear one way let go! Not sure if this design can withstand harder driving full speed on jumps, bumps, dirt and such. And it's 29 f out here with light snow. Didn't even make a tank full. Bummer. One speed for me might be the only viable option. I'll probably choose a great ratio that splits the diff BTW 1st and 2nd. I can't keep working on this trans and spending money. I'd also imagine a 8mm shaft with larger 8mm ID one ways would be helpful too. Alas..
Ah sorry to hear! Did you lube the bearings up? I have the kyosho one way bearing grease but so far I've run 5 tanks through trouble free after using liquid wrench white lithium Grease spray in the needle bearings. I think servicing it to lube it every 10 tanks might be needed. Surprisingly my 2nd and 3rd gears are still shifting fine despite the cam looking worn inside...I suppose the metal pin in there is doing its job this time....wasn't on one of my precious gears
@@TurokRC ok looking further in the warm house all dried off I now see my first gear spur stripped! One way is ok! Ok, so mesh is ok. Not sure what else to do now. I suppose even tighter mesh?
man what an animal this truck is when it works! mine is here but it's still in the box. so according to the title this is the full rebuild with the hardened metal gears correct? also you replaced needle bearings? seems like with gears new bearings and a good lube this truck does what we all expected it to out of the box. excellent run footage!!
Cheers! - it indeed rips and is a joy to run when it's working. This was still with the plastic/nylon gears, the metal gears should be arriving in the next week or so (coming from China). I didn't replace the needle bearings themselves, but I replaced the entire part that contained the needle bearing, which is the 2 speed cam and the 1st gear needle bearing. Now I've seen that you can press out the needle bearing and press in a replacement for a few bucks if you have a small bearing press, which I plan to buy
@@TurokRC you are basically the only guy out there besides R G doing videos on this truck and its "issues" so for us owners these videos of you getting it to work right mean a lot. they will allow rest of us to get the thing to run like it should, keep those updates flowing man we're watching! CHEERS!
More than happy to help - That's what the RC community is all about! I will definitely keep the updates coming, especially the metal gear installation !
What parts did u buy to fix? I'd like to do it before I even try to break it in? Does anyone know is there metal Spur Gears for this yet and better bearings if so anyone have a link
I replaced pretty much every part in the transmission except for the shaft. There are full metal gears available - I ordered a set and will do an installation and test video.
@@TurokRC so I looked up all the sizes of the bearings what do you think about me replace them with fast Eddie ceramic bearings do you think that will help
@@kennybowers7607 I used that at first but my bearing failed. Now I'm using liquid wrench lithium Grease spray and it's been shifting great. There's also the kyosho one way bearing Grease
@@TurokRC thought so being clear I got a gallon of it I got some Byron's left I got eight quarts or 30% bones Brew I'm going to try that bones Brew break in on three of my new cars but you can't go wrong with VP

This Nitro truck kind of remines me of the new HPI Savage XL 5.9 but the Kyosho USA-1 is about $100 less !!!!!Both Awesome Trucks !!!!!!!
Nitro is KING 👑
Nice BASH !!! Beautiful!👍.
Glad you enjoyed it!
one of the best bashing of the Kyosho USA-1 on youtube👌👌
Appreciate it ! I've got more to come, just need to edit them!
@@TurokRC sure i can't wait to see it
I like this nitro truck.It has got character.
Me too, I love seeing the scale truck jumping around!
Nice truck!!
New video releasing tonight !
Damn she is flying in third!
Nice to see it running like it should. Its got more kick than your 3.3 Revo. Will wait for your metal gear bash👍.
It does indeed, I've been enjoying this far more than my revo 3.3 now 😀
I just bought one awesome
🔥🔥🔥
You could up the shift point from first to second a little but its pretty damn good anyway
Definitely could, but the harder and higher up it shifts, the more wear on the gear cam
Great stuff its real nice to see it shifting like it should. Does that mean there mite be a gps speed run vid coming up?
Haha, I suppose that must be done! I'll have to add a GPS speedo to my toolbox ;)
You should add a 1/5 scale Losi gasser to run there, 5T 2.0 or dbxl 2.0 gas, would be fun too!
Definitely needs to be added to the fleet!
Great to see it up and working properly. How many tanks has it successfully made it through now
It is indeed.. roughly 6 trouble free so far. I'll probably be taking the transmission apart every 10 tanks to lube as a precaution
@@TurokRC that probably a great idea the pipe you have on it do you have a link for it
@@alexandersinclair4919 I got it from amazon, search for "Shaluoman 1/8 RC exhaust pipe" (if I post a link here it will probably deleted as spam)
@@TurokRC thanks
I would like to have one for the moment I am satisfied with my old savage but the kyosho 3 speed which chift sounds good I want one
SUB NUMBER 304! :) I have a nitro F-oxx; same design same awesomeness!
It truly is awesome, it's my favorite RC truck! I've got the metal hardened steel gears on mine shifting great now!
Hi Turok
I love your videos
I’ve got my steel gears I’m just wondering if you need a hard steel clutch bell also .
Many Thanks
Annette
I don't believe it's necessary. I've ran 10 tanks on my steel gears and the clutch finger still looks fine
Thank you
Annette

Way to get it to kick in to 3rd gear I thought you were so fucked when you took that shaft out!
Same! I think it was an issue with needle bearings being faulty and/or not lubed properly. Seems to be working fine now (knock on wood)
Is this more powerful than the slayer pro

the old fox and mad force uses a better shaft. way harder.
just made a comparison video about them
