Unleashing the Spirit of the '70s: The MAD VAN Experience
The Kyosho 34412T2 MAD VAN is more than just an RC model; it's a nostalgic journey back to the era of full-size American vans from the 1970s and 1980s. This 1/10 scale radio-controlled electric-powered vehicle combines classic van aesthetics with modern engineering, offering a unique blend of style and performance.
Built for Performance and Style
At the heart of the MAD VAN is the FZ02L-BT chassis, designed for simplicity and durability. With fewer parts, maintenance becomes a breeze, while front and rear stiffeners enhance rigidity. The chassis is crafted from glass-reinforced nylon, ensuring a balance between flexibility and strength, which is crucial for absorbing impacts during off-road adventures.
Advanced Features for Superior Control
This model boasts bevel gear differentials both at the front and rear, allowing for smooth cornering. The inclusion of oil shocks and full ball bearing specifications enhances performance efficiency, making it resilient against wear and tear. The 550 size 14T brushed motor (G14L) delivers impressive torque and speed, complemented by a steel ring around the motor case and an internal cooling fan for optimal performance.
Versatile Tires for Any Terrain
The MAD VAN's large-diameter tires, made from a soft compound and equipped with inner sponges, provide excellent grip across various surfaces. Whether you're navigating paved roads or tackling dirt trails, these tires ensure stability and control.
Customization and Ease of Use
With its pre-assembled Readyset configuration, the MAD VAN requires minimal setup. Simply add four AA batteries for the transmitter, a battery for the chassis, and a charger, and you're ready to hit the road. The included decal sheet allows for personal customization, while the polycarbonate roof spoiler enhances aerodynamics and performance.
