[muck76]

Nice shots. What's your set up?
stock w/3300nimh batts. I see a BL set up in it's future. It is only two weeksold, i want to get the bugs out first.

thanks

[starluckrc]

I have a brushless Twin Force I need to sell. Too many trucks....too little time.

[kurrz]

How much?

[metalry101]

Nice action pics man. Damn I miss my Twin Force. I really do need to get another one.

[kurrz]

Metalry where can I find one for a decent price? Tower used to sell them for 220. I have found nowhere else close to that price. Thanks

[starluckrc]

How much?

$450.....with brand new Lehner Basic XL2800, almost new Warrior 9918 esc, and new body. No servo or radio (unless you want a cheap AM).

[slid'in sideway]

Has anyone out there put a center diff in a Twin Force. I believe it could be done. With a single BL motor set up.

[pcnutz]

not much reason to put a center diff in, the chain drive stands upto coke can brushless motors and center diff would take out the wheely action. The truck is the best basher out there, its not a race truck.

[jocktheglide165]

a rare truck indeed now...

[hyperstang]

Yes it is...

I do regret selling it...wouldn't mind having another one though...

YIKES!!!!!

[jocktheglide165]

:D Yes it is...

YIKES!!!!!
Not to worry they are rereleasing it in twin spirit.... :D

[metalry101]

Anyone still run these bad boys? I just ordered one from Kyosho America. Hopefully it gets here soon! I'm so excited to have another Twin Force!

[pcnutz]

I still run mine with hacker comp and 10L with tcd diffs and mp5 centers

[metalry101]

TCD diffs? MP5 center what?

I understood the first part...mine will be going BL when Castle gets their Monster Maxx Mamba on the market, but until then the stock motors and ESC (I ordered the "Spirit) will have to do.

[hyperstang]

How much did it cost..the Twin Force Kit??

thanks

[metalry101]

I got the "Spirit" version with carbon side rails, center universals, supposedly faster motors, and Kyosho's 14.4 ESC for $375 shipped.

[starluckrc]

TCD diffs? MP5 center what?

I understood the first part...mine will be going BL when Castle gets their Monster Maxx Mamba on the market, but until then the stock motors and ESC (I ordered the "Spirit) will have to do.

Why wait? There are a few running the Mamba Max/Feigao 540-9L combo successfully. I have a few left in my Holiday specials.

[cfjan]

From readin this thread, it seems that the aluminum diff gears are the weak point of the truck.. but someone mentioned that there's steel replacement? Any link for that?

Thinking about getting one of these bad boys!!

How are the chain drive holding up, though?!

:wave: all
Newbie to the Twin Force here, hope to get one at some stage. Used to own a Mad Force, so I'm not expecting the TF to go as fast. I should have just got the TF instead, should've stuck to what I know. Electric.

cfjan. I replaced the aluminium gears in the MF with alloy ones. Just have a look `round the Kyosho site, you should find a link or something there.

Man...

I had a chance to pick up a Twin Force on ebay for a pretty good deal..
by the time I wanted to pick it up..."POOF". It was gone!!

Anyone out there selling one????

thanks

Just buy a brand new one. They're available direct from Kyosho's website for a good price. Or you could have your LHS order one in for you. HRP or Kyosho can get one to your LHS. Personally, I bought the Spirit and I'm glad I did. All the extras really are worth the little bit of extra money you pay.

[hyperstang]

Yeah..

I think that I might just do that. Last time I picked up my first Twin Force, I got the kit for only $200.00. I should have held on to it, but I think I might get the Spirit off of the Kyosho website...

I was reading up on the E Savage...might go that route, I'll see what my friend has in stock right now...

[Ball Racing]

E Savage need so many things to make it tuffer, the diffs are small, the drives are plastic..

[crazyjr]

I just scored a TF with a center diff, on Ebay. You Emaxx guys might know the guy as Promod. The TF has a center diff with a motormount setup for a 22 series lehner, New era chassis and arm supports, 1"extenders and standard offset truggy wheels and tires. I plan to power it with a 2250/10turn with a new MGM 16018 esc and 4-6s lipo's:D

[crazyjr]

Hello llo lo o o o o

[slid'in sideway]

Hay crazyjr,
So where are the pictures. I'd really like to see that certer diff setup.

[crazyjr]

[CarbonShadow]

Where can you still buy these? I wanna get one.

[crazyjr]

Check Kyosho, I know they still sell them but they are not on the usa site, Mine is heavily modified so you won't get one like mine unless you modoify one

[CarbonShadow]

Yeah I just wanna get a stock one and eGay isnt helping.

[slid'in sideway]

Crazyjr,
That is one beautiful truck. Just wondering, with having that center diff does it unload the front tires alot on take off?

[CarbonShadow]

It would probely launch better 'cause its not wheeling off the line.

[crazyjr]

Crazyjr,

With that motor, all it does is dump into the front... after it hits the wheelie bar. This truck is the most powerful rc i have or ever seen outside of vids. I have eagletree loggs where its pulling 120amps at 20V of input, thats slightly under 2600 watts, thats 3.46 HP with more torque than a lot of the high dollar italian engines

[CarbonShadow]

O.O! Thats more than my go-cart! 2 1/2 HP. Wow man you got lucky and got a REALLY fast car!

[crazyjr]

All i got was the roller, i had the electronics and radio

[cfjan]

I was going to get one when Ultimate Hobbies had it, but now I can't find anyone carrying it! Odd!!

[slid'in sideway]

Hey cfjan,
I've been thinking about this for a while and since I hardly ever get to run it I've been thinking about letting go of my highly modified Twin Force.
If you are interested e-mail me at jr7863@sbcglobal.net and I can sent you all the spec's and some pic's.

[CarbonShadow]

Hey if you dont mind how much are you selling your Twin Force for?

[slid'in sideway]

Hey CarbonShadow,
Well,with all the mods I have $980.00 wrapped up in this truck, but I'm going to be letting it go for $450.00. If you are interested in more spec's e-mail me at the adress in the other post above.

[CarbonShadow]

:cool:Hmm I have to ask my parents but just to be curious what mods do you have? Email camoyer2fast4u@adelphia.net This sound like a good deal.. Eather this or the new Axial Scorpion....

[starluckrc]

Wish I would have seen this sooner. I have an almost new Twin Force sitting around with 4-spyder diff mod, universals, never ran body, etc. that I'm willing to part with.

[HRCules77]

Starluck,
do you still have your Twin Force? Funny, I still have the 7XL can and 18.97 Schulze I purchased from you many years ago. :wave:

[crazyjr]

Hey guy's, I need some help. I broke the right rear outer housing, right at the C-hub, and need a replacement piece. I prefer new, but would consider a used crack free piece. Anyone got a link to where replacement parts can STILL be bought. Thanks in advance

[HRCules77]

Check out RC4WD.com

Their parts are machined and expensive but they'll be the last ones you'll ever use.
