Kyosho GIGA Twin 31142 - Twin-Engine 1/8 Monster Truck

Experienced RC drivers who want twin nitro power will appreciate the Kyosho 31142 GIGA Twin .26-Engine 4WD Monster Truck. Its dual GS26 engines combined with a strong chassis make it a capable performer on rough courses.

Synchronized Twin Engine Output

This machine runs two .26 engines, each with a recoil starter, working together to produce stepped acceleration. The fitted 3-speed automatic gearbox helps keep the engines operating in their optimal rev ranges for better control.

Robust Four-Wheel Drive Architecture

The centre-divided shaft-driven 4WD arrangement ensures torque is delivered to all wheels for steady traction. The 3mm aluminium main plate and resin side frames create a sturdy platform that resists flex during hard impacts.

Precision Suspension for Tough Terrain

With double-wishbone suspension and twin oil shocks per wheel, the truck soaks up jumps and rough ground while maintaining directional stability. The sub-frame increases rigidity and the slipper clutch protects the transmission under heavy load.

Efficient Power Transfer and Serviceability

Twenty-nine precision ball bearings reduce friction across the drivetrain, helping reliability and efficiency. Tuned pipes come standard on each engine, and optional silencers and a special air cleaner allow you to control noise and filtration to suit conditions.

The Kyosho 31142 GIGA Twin .26-Engine 4WD Monster Truck is best suited to hobbyists who can manage twin-engine maintenance and want a robust platform for competitive or recreational off-road driving.

Intermediate to advanced experience is advised because twin engines add complexity in tuning, setup and maintenance compared to single-engine trucks.
Running two GS26 engines increases fuel consumption and service intervals; keep spare glow plugs, clean filters regularly and check bearings after wet or dusty runs.
Stock cooling is adequate for typical club sessions, but for extended high-load running consider airflow improvements around the engines and monitor temperatures closely.
Check local event rules for twin-engine entries and noise limits first; optional silencers and careful setup can help meet club requirements.
