| Re: Kyosho MOA
There has to be some irony in modeling the truck after a pre-runner but giving it the most non-scale looking axle possible. I'd really like to see how this thing handles with better rubber, because it's such a weird combo of huge unsprung weight in the back while all the sprung weight is up front. I don't know why they also made the trailing arms so hollow either.

It’s like a Grasshopper Extreme! I wonder where Kyosho sells this stuff, or rather, who’s buying it? |

Damn. I thought it was a 4wd MOA axle at first. Not a 2wd.

So, a 2wd solid axle MOA truck. Seems like the perfect answer to a question that nobody asked.

Look no further than the toy aisle of your local Walmart for other MOA's in this class. Maybe for $150, but definitely not $229. I watched another Kyosho video after that, with their "new" Mad Crusher monster truck, and they forgot to edit out the part when the front axle taco'd off a 2' jump around the 1:45 mark... seriously had me going until then 34253B Mad Crusher VE EP-MT 4WD Readyset I'm not trying to hate on them, I reeeaaalllyyy wanted to buy a FOXX, but I got cold feet due to the lack of aftermarket part support. At least Kyosho still has a very broad spectrum of vehicles. This "Outlaw Rampage" truck looks right on par with most of Tamiya's lineup, and anybody who's been around rc for more than a decade or two should have an appreciation for that! |

| Re: Kyosho MOA
a better axle could have been used... I forsee no aftermarket support and this wont be on the shelves for long. I honestly would rather build my own with a lightweight d lux axle. but.. I have my TLR 22 2.0 I run with still. would be cool to use a "live axle" truck in 2wd mod sct though. as I do still run my Baja rey in 4x4 sct.... im getting farther back in the pack. ive maxed out the tuning capabilities in the truck. I know these solid axle trucks are not meant for racing, but its the only fun I get out of racing anymore. on a side note, I wouldn't mind adding 2 of these trucks on my shelf. |

The running video makes them look fun, but they will be priced way too high and nobody supports Kyosho in the US. And no aftermarket company will support this truck. I ****ing give up.

i'd buy one second had at a decende discount and throw a space rear axle on it with a mid trans, could be a good base for a fun truck if bought cheap enough.

yeah I was really excited about this until I saw it was RWD MOA. if it was RWD with a mid engine ala yeti/bajarey/twin hammer... I probably would go for it. BUT that's one ugly axle for what could have been a really awesome, albeit niche, 2wd prerunner market. dernit. |

If there was a motor/transmission/driveshaft setup that would fit in the spot where the receiver box is, and an axle that would work with that setup, it'd be kind of neat little truck actually.
