Hello all, after many years in storage while cleaning my shop I came across my R/c collection. In that was the one that got me started years ago. A Kyosho Mad Force. I pulled it out ran some BP blaster to loosen the engine. Gave it some heat from a a heat gun and it started up after about 12 pulls or so. So nice to hear it running again.
Well after running it in the dark had a miss-up. (little rusty on the controls) Now gotta wait for some new parts
Since I'll be running this old truck again does any one know which out Kyosho Models it shares parts with? As parts up in Canada are few in between.
Its looks as the fo-xx shares the same axles and some other might share the same diff's and such. but would like know before ordering.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Mad Force, Mad Kruiser, FO-XX and Mad Crusher are all basically the same. Crusher however has a slightly different suspensions/axels. The best thing to do is to download all the manuals containing exploded views and see all the parts

You have probably already found what you needed but I started looking recently for FOXX parts and they are hard to come by. I am considering stocking up with a few axles etc.
