The Kyosho DRT (Desert Race Truck) stands alone when it comes to power, handling and overall performance. The latest spec. .18 powered race truck brings home the goods in this new era of off-road action. The advanced chassis design promises real racing performance while superior handling allows it to be easy to drive. The stable stance lets you power through the dirt even on blown out 1:8th buggy tracks and takes on big jumps without missing a beat. With power that pushes the boundaries of common sense for a 1:10 class machine, you can turn local open space into your own private desert, short course, or road race circuit.

Under the advanced engineered body is the perfect chassis layout. The DRT shares many of it's parts, option parts and performance with the DBX and DST. Kyosho knows what you want and the DRT is no exception, the DRT comes fully assembled and ready to hit the dirt. This will cut down on the prep time, while the other guys make you wait to have fun Kyosho brings you Nitro experience to your finger tips.

Features
  • GXR .18 - New GXR .18 now delivers monster torque and power with Kyosho's proven reliability.
  • Massive 105cc Fuel Tank - Includes newly designed 105cc fuel tank to supply the large 18-size engine. Delivers stable fuel supply even under severe driving conditions. Can deliver run times of more than 10 minutes.
  • Compatibility - 80% of DST/DBX parts and option parts are compatible with the DRT.
  • No Guess Work - Lower suspension arms are both the same front and rear, this takes out all the guess work with part numbers.
  • Fully Interchangeable - Front / rear and left / right suspension arms, front / rear knuckles and front / rear shock stays are all interchangeable. Newly designed suspension with maintenance-friendly ball connect system.
  • Dirt Proof Radio Box - Dirt-proof radio box protects the receiver and battery box from the outside elements. It can be attached or removed from the chassis with just four screws for easy maintenance.
  • Fully Digital Servos - A new two-channel radio is included with the GT2. The radio features throttle and steering trim adjustments, dual-rate to simultaneously increase or reduce left and right steering travel, and servo reversing switches for both channels. The servos are the digital variety for superior response.
  • Shaft Drive - The drive shafts run through the center for chassis to give you better lower CG and optimum weight balance.
  • Multipoint Adjustments - Design features multi-point setting adjustments such as chassis height, camber, tread, front and rear toe-in etc.
  • Duel Brake Disks - Brake disks are equipped in the front and back of the center differentials providing reliable braking power.
  • Big Bore Shocks - Equipped with large capacity oil shocks as standard. Soaks up bumps with ease and secures smooth jump landings. Features dial adjustable chassis height setting.
  • 4WD - Real full time 4WD for superior running power, handling and full domination of all terrain. The differentials and drive gears are contained with the bulkheads, which protects the drivetrain from debris. It's a more advanced and durable drive system than belt drive, which requires less maintenance and produces superior performance.
  • Full Factory Assembly - The DRT is almost completely factory assembled. Trained technicians build the car from the ground up, so it's virtually ready to go right out of the box - even the body is painted, expertly detailed and the decals are installed exactly as you see it on box. Simply add fuel and some alkaline batteries needed to power the transmitter, receiver and glow igniter and you're ready for action.
  • High Quality Body - Kyosho bodies are made from high quality polycarbonate and come pre-painted, pre- decaled and pre- mounted.

BUY THIS!
change shock oil, (lighter), upper shock mounts to outermost position,30% sag, use original silicone shock oil in center diff, (1/3 fill),adjust throttle linkage so carb gets W.O.T., adjust suspension balls at wheel hubs, front- 2 degrees camber, rear -3 degrees camber, 0- front toe, break in motor, You will not believe the handling and power this has, a terror on the track, motor is incredible, never had a .18 motor run like this, Very well built, SIMPLE, tires are the best, on all types of track surfaces.
Was going to send back even before I opened box, REALLY glad I did not, the BEST handling nitro RC I have ever driven.
Adjust brakes properly, the best brakes ever, VERY progressive action.
progressive servo action, would have never thought..............
VERY,VERY underated truck, very strong.
UNBELIEVABLE!!
Biggest sleeper of all time!
