Mad force cruiser ve

[_paralyzed_]

I appreciate the straight forward criticism Texas.

I was in a "special class" in high school cause, well, I used to get into some trouble

Anywho, the bickering reminded me of a saying that I learned there-

"Nobody can get your goat if you don't let them know where it's tied"

So everybody get goat roping!

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.

The diffs are the same of the inferno VE diffs. They are unbreakable if correctly shimmed.
But the combo is the same too... ORION + Brushless + 1/8 scale = shit. Moreover it's limited at 4S, and the motor.... worst than a feigo.
==> We can't compare this to a savage flux.

i agree its a bad brushless system, but keep in mind it weighs alot less than a flux.

as for the steering, kyosho makes an upgrade kit for it and its cheep, amain stocks everything, when i restored mine it ended up costing me about $80 to replace most of the plastics and add afew kyosho branded upgrades.
