Upgrade and spare parts and hows it handle

[paul]

I have found the truck is available here in Kuwait but was wondering what the spare parts and upgrade market is like?
Not too sure about all of the plastic, I think it will break.

Has anyone done any jumping with one of these yet, how did it fair?

Would like to know, as I spent ages tricking up my MF before trashing it and now dont have the time to rebuild (new era front bumber with steering, etc was the culprit) so am considering buying this...

Look forward to hearing more on the trucks performance and upgrades

Paul ;)

the plastic is about as good as plastic gets it will be hard to break just like the madforce and parts should be easy to get also seing some sre from the madforce

I see that there is a great MT guy over there who may be able to help you he name is ATG, he got some awsom trucks to show, get in touch with him Paul

Yeah thanks,
I heard of this All Terrain Guy, also heard his trucks are not much good :eek:
He cant drive for toffee, breaks more than he builds and is generally a right royal pain.... :p
I think he has a Brazilian, which I thought was just for ladies and sounds very painfull? :rollin:
Any way it is rumoured that he hass upgraded to a mini z monster truck without the batteries installed to hopefully improve his driving skills and make his model last longer :evil: I doubt it will help.
If you see him.... run like the wind (as he suffers from lots of wind)
Later

the plastic as kyosho puts it in there ad is a polmer and all the parts are built verry heavy i couldnt belive how heavy bought the truck today and will build it soon ill let you know how it is but from what i see know i dont think it will break to much the sus arms are the biggest and beefiest ive ever seen even on a 8th scale

Paul and amandoy where do u live in Kuwait? :D

well i finishefd the build on the duel force version and all i can say is wow the truck is built heavy it took 12 hours to build and im no newby ive assembled almost ever truck avalibe that comes in kit version and nothing even comes close to this monster
there was some things like the throttle linkage needs some bushing the plastic ones have to muck slack i just used the copper ones i had laying around and it s alot tighter and the shocks kinda suck to assemble they are a pain to get the right amount of fluid in them i wished they would have left the madforce kit shocks on this truck for the cost but then you could always purchase them as a hopup but unlike the twin titan the truck has verry good sus even dropping the truck in the house from about 5 feet it doesnt bottom out also the truck can use maxx type wheels or kkyosho so you could use about any wheel out there and the supper charge thing is actully held on good as long as you glue it to the gear cover
the motors are nice also they seem to be made better than most stock kyosho motors and have bigger heads than the madforces gs 21 r ive heard that the motors are made by os but that i really do not belive but i do think they come close to os quality also the qrc is verry heavy and works like a charm it doesnt slip out of drive or lock in to for or rev so it wont stick like a t maxx does as for extras i suggest the extra spider gears in the diff and more grease is also needed but dont loose any of the shims or you be in trouble
the ring and pinion is the only thing i worry about they are helacial cut gears and look to be built burly but with 2 26 i dont know how they will handle the r&p is not the one from the madforce rtr they are a white color steel and you can tell they are heat hardened but otherwise the truck was well worth the cash and it handles as good if not better than a savage with only one motor when im finished breaking it in ill tell you what i think about the power but for now it looks really cool sitting on my shelf
