    I have the kit version of the mad force and when i bought it i bought the extended driveshaft from kyosho so i have never experienced this problem (this problem is fixed in the mad force RTR)

    It does wheelies whenever you push the throttle.

    The pullstart has never failed, if you dont pull the cord out too long and to hard it wont snap or break and ive never had any problems with the oneway bearing.

    I now have bought an OS21rg-x(p) for my mad force.

    Hey Guys, I didn't WRITE the review, if you check out the header of the review, it was written by Plane Insane. I just posted it here for you in the forum. So I can't answer your questions on this truck.

    thats called not taking care of your truck. I've built 1 of these and broke in along with running around with friends, this thing is probably the msot user friendly trucks out there.

    Status: offline     		The madforce is exaclty what I need. I'm not looking to win any medals or trophies, just to have fun when I'm free from work and family. I cannot tolerate breaking of parts on a regular basis. Right now I have a Cen MT2, which is an incredibly powerful truck, but the frequent breaking of Diff cups and dogbones really takes away from the hobby, which should allow a period of uniterrupted fun from several hundred dollars invested. THe madforce sounds like it fits my needs perfectly: durable, fun, and user friendly.

    Status: offline     		I thought that the cen mt2 never breaks? Mecky says that it is one of the toughest trucks out. is it that you have had problems with the truck, or is it that it is a weak truck

    So the wheels turns effortless with my servo and i havent upgraded my steering linkages.

    Status: offline     		I don't own one but I've built a few and horse man is correct....the dogbones do pop out. It is a very fun truck but there are a few things I don't like about it.

    1) dogbones pop out and bend easily
    2) weak and sloppy steering assembly
    3) no foam inserts
    4) the brakes aren't smooth
    5) diffs only have 2 spider gears
