Ermm.. well Get an LST2. Comes with a Great radio, dunno about the engine, as it's fairly new.. but the LST1 platform is really great!

^^rofl!!

If I were CEn, I'd think of the Genesis as a 1/7th scale. IT's so flippin' big!!

Haha, yep I sw one at my LHS a few days ago. The LST isnt small... it's quite bigger than the Rev/Tmaxx/Savage, and a tad bigger than the MGT. Butt he Genesis is just HUGE.

The Mad Force is great. Unfortunately mine is still new in the box on the shelf, I don't have the room to build it right now.[]

Exactly what mayhem maniac said. I have a friend with a new MGT, just a gallon of fuel through it and he is already replacing parts in the transmission.

Agreed.. its the GS26 which fits the same mounting as the original GS21 engine. I love that truck!.. power, speed, wheelies, shear fun, just not for racing as no handling to speak of


The Mad Force is great. Unfortunately mine is still new in the box on the shelf, I don't have the room to build it right now.
Sinner!!.... a Mad Force sat on a shelf brings no fun to nobody. If you want i'll take it off your hands.. would love another one

It's the old kit version (nicer than the RTR). It's the first and most likey last time my LHS carries Kyosho. Give it 10-15 years...it will be worth it weight in gold, especially if it gets discon sooner than expected. Ever see how high a NIB 1/9 Scale Series Pathfinder or 4Runner gets on eBay? Vintage 90's.

After the holidays, I will grab a used one from eBay. Many will receive new toys and sell their old. Alot of people leave good stuff on them and they don't sell for very much.
