Status: offline 		unfortunately yes...however most of the drivetrain parts are from other vehicles that they still make. my only concern is the axle housings themselves. I'm kinda pissed too after spending all this cash and then they pull this crap. they should at LEAST continue making the parts that are twin/mad force specific. anyway...


well...finally found some rocks!!! some big ones too.
this is right up the street from my house. they are building a new shopping center so I took the 1:1 jeep around back (did some crawlin w it too hehe) in hopes of shooting some more video but the dam vid cam battery was dead...and it was on charge all morning...might need a new one anyway I always brign the still cam so I snapped these. yes some are poser shots but most of them were taken while I was driving.


the spot...



the rig...

Status: offline 		Discontinuing the Twin Force? It hasn't been out that long. I wonder whats up.
They gonna four link it LOL? I was pondering it for my next purchase...
It would be cool in a brushless four link...
That is a tough rock pile KC!

Status: offline 		...only the axle housings, the chain and sprockets and the transfer case halfs is what I'm thinking...the yokes, the dogbones, the steering knuckles the diffs and spur gears are all from other vehicles that are still being made. the rest are easily made or adapted from other parts. I'm thinking if my chain drive goes kaput I'll use an emax tranny to replace it.

Status: offline 		i only found 2 foruns about discontinuing the mad force bc of the gigga force or wut ever its called not anything about the twin. PLus if they do discontinue it there is probably going to be a new better one just like it.
