fastharry.com Kyosho RC Nitro Wheelie Car

This is our Kyosho Hoppin’ Mad radio control  1/10th scale nitro wheelie car, and it is an absolute hoot to drive. It was built in completely stock form as the kit came from Kyosho. Ball bearings were added to aid in reliability and our standard build tricks were incorporated as well. The wheelie car uses a kyosho pull start .10 motor mounted in the extreme rear of the car and a heavy duty plastic chassis. Checkout the small wheelie bar under the engine. It really works and is much needed.

The body was hand painted by the crew at fastharry.com using Pactra Metalflake Deep Blue paint with a silver undercoat while red, orange and yellow paint was used for the flames.

 

Kyosho also made an electric version and all the kits had several different names.  Hoppin’ Mad, Boogie Box, Pedal Popper, Trail Blaster, all aptly named considering the great wheelie action they all had.

 

We built this car in 1997 and it was run a few times and shelved. The wheelie car has long been discontinued by Kyosho which we feel is a real shame considering the fun factor. It’s small size also makes it easy to maintain and carry with you to the park unlike the monster trucks. Guess Kyosho was ahead of its time with the wheelie car nitro series. We also own a new in box wheelie car which is extremely rare and to be honest, probably the only one in existence.
