wacko

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'nuts' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'kilo taken into texan town' is the wordplay.
'kilo' becomes 'k' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'taken into' is an insertion indicator.
'texan town' becomes 'waco' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'k' going within 'waco' is 'WACKO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wacko that I've seen before include "demented creature" , "Out to lunch" , "Nutter" , "nuts" , "Mad" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
