Is it that time of the month?...
I've seen people bashing the madforce/ twinforce, and it holds up reasonably well. The main bad points are the steering as noted ( lame plastic linkages with alot of slop ), and the plastic axle housing that snaps after some big air sometimes ( heavy landing ). Invest a bit of money and time into it and Im sure it will do alot better- such as rc4wd aluminium axle housings & on the axle steering mech. Its wide and low so should handle alright for a solid axled thing.
I saw a guy recently with a custom txt-1 which handled like truggy around an obstacle course, extended wheelbase & custom low CoG chassis does alot to improve the way an MT handles
