Kyosho V1S vs GV BV1?
Hi Guys...
Serious question time, no bashing by any means
I have been in an out of r/c car racing for a few years now. In the past i have owned a few orginal V1S's a V1R, NTC3 an many more... My question is, when you compare the GV BV1 to a V1S S2, the GV comes with tie rods, alloy threaded shocks & an awsome OS engine. The kyosho leaves the tie rods out as an option, give you crappy shocks and they throw in an average motor to get you started out...
Looking at it, the BV1 is great value for money. So why then do people dish it and when it comes time to go racing are the pullstart numbers mainly V1S's?
I look forward to hearing from you shortly...

not sure if the OS engine is classified as stock class. if so, i rather put it on the v one s.. that will be much better...
I guess it is the handling... GV... option parts doesn;t make it do better cornering.. and alloy shocks doesn't mean a thing...
If the OS CV engine is allow in stock class. sure it is better than the GS15R..
But i recon the v one has a better design even it is plastic...

SHOCKS?
Hey,
V1S for sure GV is shit compared to what u can do to a Kyosho even though Kyosho is Plastic i can GARENTEE Yyou its stronger than the GV. And with the Shocks Issue the Metal shocks are S%@t the bnd or even have a lil default there goes tweak, prfeably id rather a broken shock then chasing Tweak problems cause of a metal shock.
But the OS is all so not very good a 15 is better than a 12 we all knoe that but it depends on how u gear it u can gear a Kyosho but not a GV. And when the GV stripps a gear once then thats the end of your gear box!!
Hope this helps, Davo

GO THE Vone S
GO THE VONES. especially the new S3 which you can buy o/s for as cheap as a GV, sure the kyoshos dont come with radio and the S,series come with spacer shocks. i had the S2 and it was a fantastic car. infact it was my first RC car. They drive well they handle well and go hard for somethng outa the box. if u wna be really compeptive in pullstart you can always buy yourself a novarossi CTX12 Pullstart motor and get the 2 speed and all you need from there is some shocks of the V one RR series and SWEET ASS bro
thats my 2c

NTC3+ RTR
The NTC3+ RTR is a much better option than both the V one S and GV. Much easier to work on, come with a 2 speed, very adjustable and tough! I know most LHS dont carry associated parts but RC hobbies in Petersham does. They have a great website and are very fast and reliable!

Just drill it! it is only a tiny amount.
As for the BV1, have to agree if you are looking at racing then the voneS is the car to get. the bv1 has a high CG and the suspension doesnt do the engine it carries justice.
but in the end u have to be happy with what you get. maybe the new tamiya, lloks really nice or even a hpi, or ........... just kidding

i think i would rather have a car based on a V1RRR (V1S3) over the NTC3 (old technology)

IMHO forget both the GV and the Kyosho and buy a HN racing LD3 or CD3 rtr
Both great cars come with 2 speed, radio, Big pit bag, and assembled both are very low CG, another good little car is the HN racing Z10 or they are also sold as Eureka Pro Aussie muscle car.
