Kyosho Mad Force
Tops out at nearly 40mph thanks to its included pull-start GS21R .21 engine, and shifts through a 3-speed gearbox and chain-drive tranny on the way to terminal velocity. Its solid-axle suspension is unique among nitro monsters, and is surprisingly supple, thanks to 4 Inferno-series shocks. The big truck will wheelie forever, and its full-time 4WD system and USA-1 tires give it traction to spare.

Engine Cooling Revealed
Cool air/fuel mixture enters the engine block beneath the carburetor (carb not shown), and flows rearward. Warming fuel in this mixture begins to vaporize in the crankcase beneath the piston. Heat from combustion (yellow) is conducted upward into the piston head and then radiates into the air or is removed by cooling air (convection). This carefully engineered “cooling system” maximizes power and prevents the piston from melting.
