Looking for a true all terrain 4wd RC Monster Truck? Then the Giga Crusher is for you.
It can conquer any terrain you throw at it!!
Kyosho™ offers the Giga Crusher in two different configurations, the SF kit with a .26 nitro engine that you add your electronics and the SF Ready Set with a .28 nitro engine that have all the electronics factory installed, 3 servos, receiver and 3 channel radio.
The only differences in these two rc monster trucks is the size of the nitro engines and electronics other than that these trucks are the same.
Do You Have a Tip or How-To or Review of Your Rc Monster Truck Would you like to share it with others!!
The Giga Crusher SF kit and Ready Set run the same chassis, suspension, transmission and driveline.
Kyosho™ has used a patent pending main chassis plate that is made from 3mm thick aluminum with reinforced resin side frames.
This makes for the chassis on the Giga Crusher to be very rigid.
Too also improve overall chassis rigidity the front and rear sub-frame supports the suspension system.
The Giga Crusher's feature a center divided shaft drive 4wd with a shift on the fly 3 speed transmission.
With the use of a three channel radio will allow for the use of reverse.
Kyosho™ has factory assembled and installed all the major components of the drivetrain, 3 speed transmission, engine, differentials, reversing transmission and slipper clutch.
With the Giga Crusher being equipped with a slipper clutch that protects the power train while allowing for maximum traction at all times.
Kyosho™ has front-mid mounted the nitro engine for that much desired 50 - 50 weight distribution.
With a large part of the Giga Crusher's mass being centralized this improves overall agility and overall control under heavy acceleration much better.
To get the Giga Crusher over the big obstacles and big jumps Kyosho™ has installed an independent double wishbone suspension.
To with stand almost any punishment you can throw at it Kyosho™ has built all the suspension arms out of 10mm thick composite material, compared to 9mm on many other rc monster trucks and buggies.
Twin oil-filled shocks support all four corners of the long travel suspension.
Kyosho™ has designed the front hubs and knuckles for zero scrub in corners and turns, so with the use of high torque servos the Giga Crusher will be extremely nimble for its size.
The three speed transmission with reverse used on the Giga Crusher is similar to the transmission in the Mad Force, but the reversing transmission is built exclusive for the Giga Crusher.
The Quick-Reversing-Clutch mechanism "QRC" designed by Kyosho™ will allow you to quickly and cleanly switch from forward to reverse with a flip of a switch on your three channel transmitter.
To handle the weight and power of this rc monster truck Kyosho™ has equipped it with heavy duty 1/8th scale buggy style differentials.
To make the differentials as durable and tough as possible Kyosho™ has used helical cut ring and pinion gears along with durable cast internal gears and hardened steel outdrives.
The helical cut ring and pinion gear reduces drive train noise while allowing the differentials to spin easily and smoothly.
To halt this big rc monster truck Kyosho™ has designed die-cast brake calipers to do produce very reliable and effective braking.
You will need to be very careful when grabbing a handful of brakes on this rc monster truck, because it could cause a full blown end over end crash. It is a good idea to reduce your transmitter's brake EPA to have better operating control of the brakes.
With the long travel suspension on the Giga Crusher jumping and rough track handling is a breeze. Combine the big tires and suspension this rc monster truck will just roll over or jump over almost all terrain put in front of it.
If you keep the throttle pegged till just before launch on a jump the Giga Crusher will fly straight and level. Too add to the fun landing will be a breeze combine the big tires and long travel suspension that soak up even the hardest landings.
To distribute weight evenly Kyosho™ has mounted the receiver and batteries in separate sealed compartments one the left and one on the right side.
On both the SF and SF Ready Set Kyosho™ has installed a tuned pipe to maximize power and an optional rubber silencer is available to lower noise levels.
To get the power to the ground as efficiently as possible Kyosho™ has equipped the Giga Crusher with 29 precision ball bearings.
To add just a little more uniqueness to the Giga Crusher Kyosho™ as installed a fully functional blower type air scoop to the Giga Crusher. With 3 mesh covered holes in the air scoop to keep the big chunks of dirt out the air scoop inducts air directly into the air filter encased below the scoop.
Add all these features together and you get one tough and mean rc monster truck.
With full time 4wd, 3 speed transmission, huge tires and 8 oil-filled shocks is nothing else but one bad-ass rc monster truck that is going to turns heads and run over anything in its path.
