Mad force cruiser ve

[TexasSP]

It's kyosho so I know it will cost an arm and a leg and parts support will be almost non existent.

I also question the use of straight axles on a go fast machine and really don't care for the plastic links. The servo linkages for the steering appear that they will not hold up and catch on loose debris while off roading, and the plastic servo arm for a monster truck steering servo is pointless.

Over all not impressed and would not buy one as the other choices out there are proven.

Care to point to other Savage sized (i.e. 1/8th scale) rigid axle monster trucks are out there?

And since it is a MONSTER truck, speed isn't everything.

have you ever owned one?


i have a twin force, its a tank, its 10 years old, its been used with many diffrent brushless setup and been in some of the worst rc crashes i have ever seen,in 10 years the only part to fail was a warped top shaft that sill worked but has a nasty looking wobble to it.

its a tried and true truck, its not going to win many races but i has out lasted every other rc in my group of freind.

Never owned it but drove one. I was so bored after about 30 seconds I saw no need to buy it. I had nikko's that were unbreakable too, but still not entertaining.

thats cool, so you didnt like driveing it, doesnt make it a bad truck, honestly i dont like driveing my brushless revo platinum, alot of people love them but i spent alot on is so there is no reason to sell it.

personaly i like the twin force it doesnt handle the best but its better than an emaxx (search twin force and you can find afew comparsions between it and the maxx) its alot lighter than most 1/8 scale trucks and it jumps great.

as for week searing linkage, thats not true, other than the little bit of rust its just as good as the day it was new.

go crash a nikko into a tree at 40mph and let me know how it comes out, then do it 10 more times that day, thats the live my TF went threw before i go it
