Why doesnt many people own kyosho monster trucks.
I dont see many threads about kyosho monster trucks kyosho is one of the best brands out there so why doesnt people buy them.
im getting sick of all those savage and t maxx threads[>:]

Well, most people are into Nitro monster trucks now. Kyosho only makes the Madforce, which is a great truck. The Mega force was a complete flop in the US. Kyosho hurt their own sales when they released the Madforce with a HIGH price, and a truck that was NOT ready to run. When i bought my madforce i paid 479, and thats the truck and motor. At the time parts were incredibly hard to get, and kyosho is less than helpful when you call them. Kyosho does make great products, yet their release price, and lack of replacement parts really hurt them. Not to mention, the Mad force is a solid axle, which is aimed at an entirely different crowd of people (rock crawlers).

You said that the truck was made for rock crawlers hmm thats strange a rock crawler usualy dont do 45 mph and pop wheelies.
I spanked my friends savage and mta4 with my mad force he didnt stand a chance i think kyosho is a great company.
But im going to buy team losis monster truck when its released team losi is also a great company maby even a little bit better than kyosho.
But your very wrong when your saying that the mad force is made for rock crawlers.

lol. You need to read my post better. I said the solid axle design is AIMED at a crowd of people (rock crawlers). Thats a fact, and theres no sense in disputing it. Im glad you made the remark about the 45 mph truck making a STRANGE rock crawler. Thats exactly why the truck wasnt taken seriously by the ROCK CRAWLER fans. Its geared like a race truck, and setup like a rock crawler with the solid axle design. Leaving it less than suitable for racing, or crawling. Its a great bash truck, and its really durable. I loved mine when i owned it, but will not buy another. There are too many other options out there.

madmaniac

Ok im sorry i read wrong.
Phu i cant wait until team losis monster truck comes out

ThermalRD

Are you serious? Where can you get a mad force for 300 RTR? When did the Mad Force become a RTR?

Matt

No problem madmaniac. I think the ENTIRE RC WORLD is eagerly waiting for the Team Losi monster. That is a truck i will have pre-purchased, and fully paid for long before its ever released. I am always in search of more info on that TL truck.

Wow thats cheap when it first came out here in Sweden it did cost 700$ thats a pretty high price.
I bought mine for 550$ its still expensive but its a lot cheaper than when it came out.
Team losis cars are cheap here in Sweden the new version of the mini t costs 130$
What do you think the new team losi truck will look like will it be independant suspension or a solid axle
I think it will be a independant because team losi only do racing cars and a independant suspension type will handle better on the track.
