Introducing the FO-XX GP Readyset

The Kyosho FO-XX GP is a 1/8 scale 4WD nitro truck tuned for off-road performance. Supplied as a Readyset with the KT-231P radio, it is aimed at hobbyists who want a robust, usable platform that requires minimal assembly before running.

Build Layout and Practical Details

Featuring a hybrid tube frame and monocoque construction, the chassis offers a sturdy foundation for hard use. The model includes a pre-finished body and decorative front fog lights, and a hinged nose panel for easier access. The compact radio box placement contributes to a lower centre of gravity.

Power Delivery and Transmission

The KE25 engine, combined with a polished manifold and tuned exhaust, provides consistent throttle response and strong acceleration. The 3-speed automatic gearbox smooths transitions and helps the truck maintain drive through varied track sections.

Ride Control and Terrain Handling

Paddle-pattern tyres give reliable traction on loose and soft surfaces, while heavy-duty axles and steel bevel gears improve resilience. Suspension travel and arm geometry are tuned to offer predictable behaviour under 1G, assisting handling over jumps and rutted ground.

Inspect drive belts, gear teeth, shock shafts, and tyre condition regularly. Clutch shoes and bearings are also items to monitor after heavy use.

Basic tuning is straightforward with a tach and patience; many users learn to adjust needle settings for idle and midrange. For advanced tuning, refer to engine guides or seek club support.

Can I race this model in organised events?
