Key Specs
About this product
Description
4WD chassis with 5-link suspension system produces outstanding drive efficiency and performance so you can enjoy hard driving on the roughest roads with supreme confidence. This Readyset model comes with R/C system pre-installed.
Under license by USA-1, the newly developed polycarbonate body has been produced to a spectacular level of detail with separately molded accessory body parts including grille and lights to enhance the three dimensional effect. In addition, the chassis-mounted bumper captures the spirit and atmosphere of the USA-1 in all its glory.
Recreating the look and feel of the 1,000 horsepower engine, the triple carburetors that sat atop the supercharger on the engine of the actual truck, are replicated and attached to the chassis, and provide another level of scale detail that’s faithful to the real USA-1 monster truck.The newly developed 2300 KV KYOSHO SPEED HOUSE TORX8+ brushless motor generates approximately 4400 RPM at 14.8v than the previous TORX8 motor used in the Mad Crusher VE. The red color of the motor distinguishes it as the higher performance of the TORX8+ series.
Equipped with a KYOSHO SPEED HOUSE BRAINZ 8 waterproof ESC (speed controller). With maximum voltage of 14.8V (2 x 2S Lipo packs); settings for brake, advance angle, punch force, cutoff voltage, etc., can be adjusted. Separate programmer required.
Chassis is designed for 7.2V Ni-MH or 7.4V Lipo to be mounted on either side, but it is still possible to run the model with a single battery pack. The battery box accommodates batteries of various thickness and provides secure mounting, even under hard driving.
Large capacity Big Bore oil shocks reliably support the large chassis. In addition to the standard shocks and springs in the kit, a wide range of optional combinations provide various damping rates to suit different driving conditions.
Reinforced housing for the front and rear tires thrives under the increased power while improving crash resistance. Conversion to 4WS (four-wheel steering) can also be achieved with optional parts. The incredibly strong front and rear differentials come from a 1:8-scale world champion off-road racer and feature metal ring and pinion gears, plus four internal metal spider gears for the ultimate in durability. The differentials can also be tuned with optional silicone oil up to 1,000,000wt.
Five-link suspension system enables the long stroke to absorb the punishment from uneven surfaces for precision control and running performance. In addition, the rigid axle provides reliable transfer of drive force, even with the suspension fully activated.

Frequently Asked Questions
The USA-1 VE is a Ready-to-Run model with pre-installed R/C system and brushless motor, making it accessible to those new to RC. However, as a 1:8 scale monster truck with significant power, it's better suited to someone with basic RC driving experience rather than a complete beginner.
The chassis accepts 7.2V Ni-MH or 7.4V Lipo batteries mounted on either side, though a single pack can also be used. The motor runs on up to 14.8V (two 2S Lipo packs in series). Charge times and runtime depend on your specific battery—consult your battery's manual for those details.
This Readyset includes the fully assembled chassis, pre-installed brushless motor, waterproof ESC (BRAINZ8), R/C system, polycarbonate USA-1 body with detailed parts, suspension components, and shocks. You'll need to supply your own battery pack and charger.
At 1:8 scale, the USA-1 VE is a substantial monster truck—larger than 1:10 models but designed for serious off-road performance. Exact dimensions aren't listed in the specs, but you should expect it to require reasonable storage space and a carry case or bag for transport.
The USA-1 VE features a 2300 KV brushless motor generating approximately 4400 RPM at 14.8V, paired with a waterproof ESC that handles demanding driving. The five-link suspension system and large-capacity Big Bore oil shocks are engineered to deliver outstanding performance on rough terrain and absorb hard driving impacts.
