Default Yes, Obi Wan- I will soon have the force (updated!)

Mad Force that is... Mad Force RCX to be exact. On it's way to me.

I won't mention the terms of the deal, but I have depleted my RC inventory save my Monster Truck collection (buggy and ST were fodder in the deal)

This Mad Force will be the crowning jewel of my collection.

I think this will be it for a while... Could be the Losi next if it's offered in a kit (don't want any more RTR's).

Here are some pics!

??? Wingo Man! Sha Sha Sha!

To what reference are you referring jefx? I have thought about it and can't draw a connection, although now you have peaked my curiosity.

Maybe you purposely posted that thread, KNOWING that I knew that you would know I wouldn't know what you meant- you know what I mean?

It's Dale Gribble. Don't you ever watch King of the Hill? You have him as your avatar.

I'm not sure why I posted that. ICrashThings called you a Star Wars nerd, but then I looked over at your name and avatar and Dale's voice popped into my head. I have a Tivo and therefore I've seen every episode of King of the Hill, Family Guy, Simpsons, South park, and many more. I've constantly got cartoon voices running through my head.

Here are a few more pics... I don't think my wife will appreciate the Mad Force hood art as it stands.

Welcome to the Mad Force club. I just picked mine up a few days ago. I think my Maxx is getting jealous.

Well, I got the truck last night.

I am SO IMPRESSED WITH THIS THING. Mad Force doesn't get the press it deserves. It is a very solid and well built MT. It is big too... Even though the measurements are close to the Savage, it just seems bigger.

Here are some pics-

The suspension needs some tuning and the steering can be tightened up a bit, but otherwise, I am impressed with the quality of this truck.
