Kyosho does have some of the best monsters out there, its just that they don't sell as much. I'd take a MF over a Traxxas, MGT or Savage anyday

Are you 10 years old? Or just kinda rude? Anyway, the Mad force in the video is bouncy by design. Its not independant suspension. It is also in kyosho fashion to have a very stiff suspension. Watch the videos for the new Giga crusher. Very bouncy too. Suspension is easy to setup though. Softer spring, lighter oil. It'll stop bouncin.

no I am a reviewer for R/c Cars and trucks, hence the site rccars411.com. U can get the RCX version springs, they are made softer for extensive crawling.

Yeah, Mini-T with massive upgrades is what I plan to update my site with. Its a great truck, but most AE guys will hate me for supporting losi The Mini Madforce is actually a really cool truck, and under rated. It is strictly a basher but it can be raced with glee. I was watching the vid of them doing backflips and other tricks. Oh, and Megatech does make motors, (or they used to) for mini z vehicles.

Its pretty small. Look at the video again, then pause when they get done running it. They show a still shot of the truck next to the radio. Look at the size comparison of the two.
