Kyosho Twin Engine Monster Truck???
Ok, Here it is . . . The Kyosho Giga-Crusher DF. It's powered by twin (yes 2 of them) .26 engines. Also, it has a 3-SPEED TRANNY ! ! !
Regan just got it last week, but he had to go to Japan for the Kyosho Masters race and then the following weekend is the Maxi's Fuel Challenge in Florida, so he is gone for 2 1/2 weeks. He asked me if I wanted to build it and tweak on it . . . hmmmm......OK!
Let me tell you - this truck is SOLID! It has 0 flex, but it is a bit heavy. I don't think the weight would be too much of an issue when you have a total of .52ci driving it!
Also, the truck has the normal 2 shocks per corner, BEEFY suspension arms and bulkheads and the coolest thing - the blower is functional (air flows through it, down to an aribox with a normal 1/8 filter, then to the engines) or is it the 3-speed? lol
I had the truck down at TRCR on Wed, just to fire 'em up . . . Let me tell you this, you know the difference between mono and stereo sound, right? That's all I'm going to say...
Here's some pic's of the truck in stock formation.
As I figure more of it out, I'll let 'ya know......
I'm still working on it . . . Should have it at TRCR next weekend..?
I guess the only bad thing about this truck is no class yet? Oh wait, Unlimited monster truck . . . or is it? We'll see.
p.s. The truck does give you the option of just running one engine, all you would need is a Kyosho 1/8 buggy fuel tank(per the instructions).
