@BRMN8R using ultra bright white LEDs (5mm, 3v, 10000mcd) and a LD 1117 3v voltage regulator. Gives you always 3volt regardless the input. I used resistors first but it won't give you a stable 3v output especially when you accelerate.

ok, so i had an electric usa-1 and heres what happened, first i was only able to run it for two minutes cuz the mechanical speed control burned out, after that it would hardly turn because the servo provided couldn't turn the front wheels let along the back. then the battery would die out because of the two motors. so now i have to buy some 170 dollar super speed control. so now its been collecting dust. however i do wanna run it agian. what in all honesty didyou do to get it to run like that

[gothinger]

I had installed two Kyoscho mega monstertruck engines and as speed control I use a LRP A.I.Automatic Super Reverse Digital with a limit of 13 turns. One engine have 21 turns so the speed control can handle two engines without a problem. It also have a selfmade alu chassis and two servos one for each axle.

Miss the usa 1. i have one, wish someone would make a current fix for the dog bones. the only week link with the usa 1. i can over come the steering issue.

I remember wanting one as a small kid.

[MrJdspecial1]

do they still make the usa 1?

[BRMN8R]

Very cool! I have just acquired a USA-1 EP and am restoring the old girl. it already had the pink Mega Motor's, so have installed ball bearings and greased up all the suspension arms and steering linkages and stuck a better steering servo in it, but it's still running the rear steer aswell, and also the mechanical speed control. I have a restored 87 clod, a bullhead, and a txt-1, and this truck is a completely different animal! I really enjoyed your video! What are you using to run the lights?

@maddrummer910 hahaha man i totally know what you mean, the usa1 was a piece of shit compaired to the clod, the steering blew, the plastic drive shafts twisted and stripped, i didnt even run mine with the stock esc, i went right to an electronic one. i eventually went to a sassy chassis stretch chassis and a 1/4 scale servo and mip cvd's... then it hauled ASS !!!
