Nitroholic Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Excellent .... means spares for my Madforce are going to be around a bit longer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Have they actually improved this then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 How many more times are they going to relaunch this chassis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I'll buy it for a three speed transves.....oh, hang on, transmission. My bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Looks like a Ford Zephyr IV with Mondeo alloys on it! Wheels just aren't appropriate. Great for guys like Nitro needing spares for their older ones. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Have they actually improved this then? er...they changed the shocks, changed the wheels.... and I am pretty sure the radio box is a different shape. They kept the crazy steering linkage, and probably kept the oddball 19mm hexes sitting over 14mm metal hexes. Not sure about 'improved' ....

suicideneil Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Doesn't seem to have changed much since it was the 'Twinforce'- even has the same dual motor mount for running two brushed motors, ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 That is a thing that made me chuckle with the previous brushless Madforce.... surely they could produce a new flat sheet motor mount just as easily as they can reproduce a copy of a part that must have been discontinued some while ago ? Especially as it's the kind of simple flat ally mount that most home brew conversions could manage with some scrap, a drill and a hacksaw! I mean....I made something similar for my Firestorm out of some scrap chassis plate. Mind you...I can't help wondering if the reason I love my Madforce so much is simply because it WAS so outdated in design and had so many things that could be improved. If it had been 'good' it would have got judged a lot more on it's actual performance. As it is....it's still the only solid axle swing arm style 1/8 monster truck out there ( I don't count crawlers with no diffs here ...... ) that I can think of.
