The Kyosho Mad Van Fazer Mk2 1/10 4WD Brushless Ready to Run Monster Truck delivers a bold RC monster truck experience, styled after a 1970s–1980s American van. Featuring a TORX 10E brushless motor, BRAINZ 10 ESC, and FZ02L-BT chassis, it achieves speeds up to 37 mph. With a detailed body and robust 4WD system, this brushless RC truck is designed for off-road bashing and scale enthusiasts.
Performance
The Mad Van is powered by a TORX 10E brushless motor and BRAINZ 10 ESC, boosting speeds from 25 mph to 37 mph compared to its brushed counterpart. The 4WD FZ02L-BT chassis, with reinforced sintered metal gears and an aluminum HD center shaft, ensures efficient power transfer for wheelies and high-speed runs. Large-diameter tires with inner sponges provide grip on dirt or pavement, while oil-filled shocks deliver stable damping. Some users note motor heat during extended runs, manageable with cooldowns. Traction may be limited on wet surfaces without tire upgrades.
Design and Features
The gold polycarbonate body features molded grille, mirrors, and light buckets for scale realism, with a roof guard to protect against rollovers. The bathtub chassis balances rigidity and flex, with full ball bearings enhancing efficiency. The body may scratch during aggressive bashing, and the optional LED light unit (not included) is needed for nighttime runs. A strap-type battery mount accommodates various 2S–3S LiPo sizes, and aftermarket parts like sway bars support customization.
Ease of Use and Maintenance
The Syncro KT-231P+ 2.4GHz transmitter offers reliable control, suitable for all skill levels. The truck requires a 2S or 3S LiPo battery and charger, with 15–25-minute runtimes and 60–90-minute charging. The simplified chassis with standardized screws eases maintenance, though the steering servo saver may loosen under heavy use, requiring occasional tightening. Waterproof electronics allow light wet driving.
Special Notes: This is a Ready to Run model, fully assembled with a gold body, wheelie bar, and four AA transmitter batteries included. Requires a 2S/3S LiPo battery and charger (not included). Suitable for beginners and advanced users with aftermarket tuning options.
