Kyosho 33151 FO-XX GP 1/8 KT-231P Readyset Monster Truck  [KY-33151]

Overview of the FO-XX GP Platform

Kyosho's FO-XX GP is a 1/8 scale 4WD monster truck built to tackle rough courses and backyard bashing alike. The Readyset comes paired with the KT-231P radio so you can get on-track quickly after basic setup. The package focuses on balancing raw power with controllable handling.

Structural Design and Access

The hybrid tube frame plus monocoque design provides a rigid backbone while keeping weight managed. A pre-painted shell and faux front fog lamps add realism, and the hinged nose makes routine servicing simple. Lowered radio compartment helps reduce roll in fast corners.

Powertrain and Acceleration

Powered by the KE25 engine with a tuned muffler and welded manifold, the truck delivers strong punch out of corners and stable throttle response. The built-in 3-speed automatic transmission smooths acceleration and helps maintain speed across varied surfaces.

Traction and Suspension Setup

Paddle-style tyres are fitted for consistent grip on loose dirt and sand, while robust axles and steel bevel gears give long-term durability. Suspension travel and arm geometry are set up to perform well at 1G, assisting in control over jumps and rough sections.

For tuners and weekend racers who favour nitro performance, the Kyosho FO-XX GP provides a solid starting point with room for upgrades and setup tweaks to match driving style.
