OLD-SCHOOL NEW ERA MAD FORCE

- JOHN PAUL MARTIN « LEESBURG, FL

John Paul has always had an affinity for monster trucks, and specifical­ly for the solid-axle Kyosho Mad Force. For this build he threw pretty much every custom part New Era Models carries onto it! He started with aluminum

Mad Force axles and suspension from RC4WD. For power he went with an

LRP .32 with a Novarossi tuned pipe. He added a custom radio/battery box and a transmissi­on cover designed and 3D-printed by 4th Dimension. Savox servos and axle-mounted steering linkage improve the precision and feel of the steering. And a CNC aluminum rear bumper and a set of side mirrors dress up the Pro-line ’80 Chevy body.
