About the Monster Kruiser

Axles & Suspension

The reinforced axle housing excels under high-power and rough road conditions, improving crash resistance. It offers the ability to add optional rear-wheel steering, creating a true AWS (All-Wheel Steering) system for enhanced dynamic steering options reminiscent of early monster trucks. The truck's 5-link suspension platform controls the rigid front and rear axles to minimize drive loss, delivering superior traction and handling over uneven and varying surfaces. Additionally, large-capacity oil shocks reliably absorb impacts from the running surface, ensuring a smooth ride.

Drivetrain

The USA-1 GP excels with differentials taken from a World Champion 1/8-scale off-road car, featuring metal ring, pinion, and spider gears to manage the power of its 25-class (approx. 4.2cc) engine. These differentials provide smooth, stable driving by balancing the rotational differences between tires. The truck's 3-speed automatic transmission maximizes engine torque across various speeds, optimizing low-speed torque with first gear and covering medium speeds with second gear for smooth, efficient acceleration. This high-performance setup ensures exceptional traction and power management.

Engine

The KE25SP2 engine is a powerhouse, designed with an easier-to-adjust low-speed needle that enables it to generate even more power than its predecessor, the KE25SP engine. This advanced engine features a convenient pull starter, eliminating the need for a starter box. Additionally, the engine settings have been meticulously optimized at the factory, ensuring peak performance right out of the box.
