|  Mad Force / Twin Force, same axles/gearing?
My LHS has a madforce for sale for $250, and since I haven't been able to find a single twinforce for sale at any of the hobbyshop's I look online for, I'm not sure what to do. Does the MadForce and Twinforce have the same axle assemblies, or is one weaker than the other, etc..? I figure I can part out the radio system and motor for at least 150. Let me know what you guys think I could do, or show me where I can get a TwinForce from :/ Thanks, JohnR |

there are a few differences, but the parts are all interchangeable. Unless you hold both types of axles in your hand, you would never know it. I think the mad force comes with a hardened rear pinion and ring, aluminum front. The twin force comes with both steel pinion / ringsets i think. At any rate you will want to shim the diffs properly. The diffs / knuckes/ outputs are 1/8th buggy as well, so you can find replacement parts everywhere. On my mad force axles I swapped the outer stubs and knuckles with Savage ones. Now maxx rims bolt up. Otherwise you gotta deal with the hugo stub. |

As for the Mad tranny,I've never seen one in person. I'd like to just to see if theres any possabilities. I believe it might be a decent unit. Quote:
Nope,the Mad front is a steel helical cut gear and the rear is aluminum. The Twin is aluminum front and rear | ||
