Overview
First released in 2022, the popularity of the 1/10 scale EP Mad Wagon monster truck was built on its massive power and speeds of 75km/h that were made easy to enjoy with its fully assembled ReadySet form. Now released as an unassembled kit, users gain a deeper understanding of the vehicle structure and insight into tuning and maintenance. However, complex components that are difficult to assemble such as front, center and rear gearboxes, are pre-built so assembly can be complete in a relatively short time, even for people with limited R/C car experience. This is not simply a kit form of the existing pre-assembled ReadySet and includes some features unique to this unassembled kit version. Various parts that were previously only available as optional upgrades are now included as standard, so a tuned-up model is created just by assembling the kit version, but realized at a much lower price (than purchasing the upgrades separately). Also, the kit version allows choice of entry-level to competition-grade R/C systems including transmitter and receiver as well as suitable batteries. With styling inspired by a 1980’s era station wagon, the unpainted ‘ultra-scale body’ boasts exceptional detail and includes plated parts such as bumpers and grille which don’t need painting. Graphics on the new decal set recreate true scale realism even if the body is painted in a single color, but of course you can enjoy designing your own color scheme or recreating an existing design. The power and speed of the Mad Wagon can be enjoyed on any surface from rough terrain to paved roads using your preferred R/C system and power source.

Aluminum Chassis
Robust structure of the aluminum main chassis with resin subframe is the same as the Readyset, but the driving performance of the kit version is improved with the inclusion of various optional parts as standard.
Polycarbonate Body
The kit includes 1.2mm thick PC body with chrome plated headlights, grill and bumper. Also includes the special decal sheet. Customize your body to your style!
Differentials
Includes pre-built front, center and rear gearboxes with the drive shafts temporarily assembled on the main chassis, which is 20g lighter than the standard Readyset version. Diff gears are designed for use with diff oil (sold separately) of your preferred hardness.
Oil Shocks
Standard equipment includes aluminum oil shocks (shock absorbers) that are normally sold as optional parts. High precision and resistant to temperature changes, it deliver superior suspension stability even when crossing large gaps. Dial-type ride height adjustment makes it easy to adjust the ride height.
Upper Arms
Turnbuckle upper arms with positive and reverse thread on both ends replace the fixed length upper arms included in the Readyset version. Camber angle can now be changed freely, expanding the range of settings.
Diff Gears
Front and rear diff gears are equipped with machined steel bevel and ring gears as standard (previously optional) to provide the high strength and durability that easily handles the power of brushless motors.
Motor Mount
High-performance aluminum HD motor mount with improved heat dissipation performance over the standard plastic injection molded product for Readyset. Reduces motor power down due to heat and its high rigidity prevents pinion and spur gears from damage.
Slipper Clutch
Slipper clutch which protects the drive system, has been made of aluminum. The reduces weight of rotating parts compared to the standard clutch in the Readyset, allowing for sharper acceleration. In addition, the fins help to dissipate heat efficiently.
Steering
Aluminum HD servo mount demonstrates high retention rigidity and precise steering response. Included as standard in the kit and anodized in Kyosho’s signature red color.
Wheel Hubs
Equipped with aluminum HD wheel hubs in place of the standard plastic wheel hubs in the Readyset. Increased precision and rigidity deliver efficient power transfer to the wheels.
Wheelie Bar
Features a wheelie bar that prevents the vehicle from flipping when the front tires are up high. Not only does it enable stable wheelie driving, but it also adds an exterior style element.
