RE: Kyosho Mad Force Kruiser. Thoughts, Opinions.
I don't want the electric, but I've pretty much settled on my next MT being the nitro Mad Force. Live axles, three speed, incredibly simple, incredibly durable, can't go wrong!
As far as Kyosho quality I'd say it's pretty good. I've only had mini-Zs, though. But those mini-Zs put up with all sorts of hell and more or less just shrugged it off, and I've used the transmitters to control my 1/10ths, so they're pretty good from my experience.
