I have a USA 1 from the early 90s with 4w steering. My father and I built it when I was 9... I have the new version also with 4w steering, it is remarkable how much the quality has improved but the price really has not gone up. If I'm not mistaken the USA 1 kit cost about $350 and the transmitter was about $175.00 in the 90s. I remember I had to save my money for the entire summer to buy the USA 1 back then. I still take it out once every summer since the 90s. What a great truck.

Awesome comparison. The USA1 looked a bit more squarely on the speed run. Awesome tug of war. Both are awesome. Great job!

Awesome comparison brother! I could see the kid coming out in you the further along in the video you got! To be fair, I would of been been the same way! Very good and fair comparison dude!👍🏻👊🏼🏁🍻

I have the Losi LMT roller. I put a Spectrum Motor and Speed Controler in it and an El Toro Loco Body. I noticed the servo saver came loose twice so I put some Blue Loctite on the screw and so far after two weeks it's still tight. But After watching your video I bought two spares, they'll be here saturday.Cheers.

very useful video, I'm looking at the LMT, but now you've made me think Kyosho. I had the original one with the plastic driveshafts that twisted! Happy New Year, and a new subscription 👍🍺🇬🇧

That Kyosho has some of the strongest solid axles made to be honest. Before there were crawlers everyone used it’s axles for their custom builds up to 6s and they take it. Definitely bashable if there ever was a thing. Awesome 1/8th scale rig.

Love the comparison, love my lmt, going to look into the USA 1

Great comparison! They both seem pretty capable but the Losi is definetely a little more stable in my opinion. Thank you for sharing and have a great sunday!🙂🇸🇪🇬🇧

I have the new USA 1 and it’s awesome. I managed to break a part when trying to do flips, and it broke in a cheap and easy to fix way, so I believe the stress points are well engineered to prevent fatal breakage. I’ve been abusing it and it’s doing well, the body is toast though, and it hasn’t even been a month. I’m loving it, it’s my first brushless.

Let me get this straight. You used a 3s lipo in the losi lmt and got a speed of 32mph. You had to use a 4s battery in usa1 to get up to 30mph. How is that a win for usa1? I think the win should go to the LOSI LMT. You should put a 3s lipo into usa1 and then do a speed run. What does everyone else think?

As always another great vid 👌

I used to have the old 90’s usa1 back in the day I’ve always loved monster trucks currently I have the losi. I don’t think either is a bad choice just depends on what is available and what’s sold around you. The losi has a ton of upgrade parts though.

Thanks. Nice review, would have been a bit more fair to see both front wheel steer only. Tempted to get a Kyosho next to the LMT.

4s being faster would only be the case if the trucks had similar gearing and kv-rating on the motor. I own the Kyosho (Madforce, not the USA-1) but I think the Losi is cooler as it's much more scale.

Yesssssss !!!!!! Tug of War !!!! Great Video !

Sweet video dude! Have you done a video on that green Typhon you got hanging up? Looks pretty sweet 👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Enjoyed the vid - thanks!

i remember when the usa1 first came out when i was a kid, it was suppose to compete with the clodbuster

cool rc and bashing,great comparisons,subscribed new friend

That was sick dude!!

Tug of war was the best part man !! 👍👍

Great video. Love the dug of war ! I should note... My USA-1 clocked at 34 mph. Another video also clocked it at 34 mph..

Dude that donut was awesome

GC Treal Servo saver is ESSENTIAL , and i9mod coreless servo too , handmade bumper , straps, and stoppers for the steering pins too.

Nice comparison 👍

The USA 1 is a bit more unestable but, it's a legend, an object of desire and a must have for any collector. The losi, is more stable but it's just a Losi.

My favorite monster truck growing up USA-1

the usa 1 is too touchy in 4ws for a fair comparison you should have put it back to 2ws

I'd tighten up the steering ratio on the rear of that USA1.

Hahahaa... It's awesome that your video came up 1st when I searched "Losi LMT or Kyosho USA1"... Thanks mate, £500 is a heck of a lot of money for me to spend so I don't make these decisions lightly. Any & all info is greatly appreciated. Stay safe out there & best wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚗 🚖 🚕 🚔 🚚 🚙 🚘 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚎 🚤 🚁 🛩️.!

Awesome 😎

Nice comparison vid 👍 I’m about to buy from the states as they’re a lot cheaper. But import duty is confusing. Anyone done this?

Question, so I can run a 4s lipo in the USA 1. Can I run 2 batteries or just 1 .

I have both and the LMT is by far a more capable and realistic in handling characteristics. Hands down a better truck. Not to put down the Kyosho but

I have both and have beaten the crap outta them I have issues with the losi breaking sway bar end links every time I use it and shocks. I have broken the front axle on the LMT. The USA won I broke the front differential pretty quick. The steering on the USA1 is garbage. I like the fact how much lighter the USA one is. All in all they're both decent at what they do all hobby grade is all about upgrades just pick your weapon go have fun

Man I love my kyosho usa1

Tug of war is hilarious 😂

Kyosho would be more controllable if you hadn't put 4 wheel steer in it

Es muy bueno el carro

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe ..

I'd love either tbh but the grave digger is the ultimate monster truck from my youth and looks soo much cooler even in rc form... Great dick about 👍 sorry "comparison" 🤥 very enjoyable all the same 😃

Interesting tug of war🤣🤣🤣🤣

lOSI,S King Sling is Better than Both of them

Not a fan of the usa1

Lmt hands down
