I cant say I know much about the mad force, other than the odd suspension setup and the chain drive.
But I just looked at some vids of the newest ep version, with a brushless setup. I am not sure what is different on the new version other than shocks and I think the rear suspension arms are longer. If anyone can point out other differences, Id love to know.
Mine includes servo and a motor only. Based on the pics, im assuming it should have had 2 motors, like an emaxx.
I have a DTX 540 brushless motor and I may have a AE brushless ESC that works. I don't know how big/heavy a Mad force is, but im hoping a basic 540 brushless motor on 2s can push the truck along at a decent speed.
I paid more than I wanted, but then I don't think you can get any 4wd solid axle MT roller for under $100 shipped. The tires looks awesome!
So much YES. I freaking love my mad force, I have a nitro one *cough cough proper cough* and it is controlled chaos. I wouldn't trust a 540, however it is light enough to run a 550 SC system.
