This "new" truck from Kyosho is just them importing them again. It was the Mad Force and there was an electric version the Twin Force. I had one and just like any other monster truck it had positives and negatives.

Positive : 777 Inferno diffs and buggy shocks dropped right in/on the truck. The rest of the drive train was already pretty built proof too. The truck was super light and easy to work on.

Negative : The steering sucked, but there are companies (I think Tunder Tech) made a steering up grade that solved that. The plastic links on the original batch would flex when you jumped the truck too high and it had dog bones. Kyosho later fixed this with a drive line that attaches. And if you look around, rc4wd made billet links for these trucks.

As far as parts support, hopefully this go around with Kyosho having an American division they should do better.

I would wait though, with more people going brushless I find it hard to believe they won't bring in the electric version. And if the still package them the same, there were two versions. One with no electronics...yeah. And one that was dueced out with Carbon Fiber side plates.

I will buy one again if they will not be so hot and cold at importing them, it was a great truck.
