Kyosho Rock Force

[auhutchi]

Hey is this car worth the price or is it better to go with axial, venom, losi... i was goin for the losi the last 6 months and have been waitin but now i'm not so sure- i just found about this rock force and it looks cool. so just want to know what everyone thought of it... if this fails and robmobs plan doesn't go that great i'm leaning toward a venom or a 2.2 berg, but a axial is fine if i can get good reasons whats wrong with the others- i know axial is proven what is wrong with the others than a opinion ---- only thing right now i don't like about the rock force is that local hobby shop don't carry parts for it-- venom i haven't heard nothing bad about it other than a factory mess up with the driveshafts-- and the berg all i have heard is good stuff and it is in alot of peoples favor----- i have never seen a berg run so i don't know how great they are, they seemed like a good idea on the berg design- but i don't quite understand the how all the electronics are put into it- and you can put a dig on it.... so i'm stuck i would like to get something other than axial because everyone at local comps run axial and i like to be diiferent... an idea just came to me??? would it be better to just build a crawler from quality 3rd party parts- only problem with that is getting everything to work together--- and i'm not sure what is a good transmission setup-(i know more about the suspension setup---- not much about drive train) let me know what everyone thinks,, if custom is better i would like recommendations for parts to use

I have looked over the Rock Force. Then decided to overlook the Rock Force. Just doesn't wow me like the Losi did. Hell, I think I would rather have a Venom Creeper than the Kyosho.

The rock force kicks ass! has dig outta the box and is easily the most durable out of all the other rigs, that thing is built stong! it had the worm gears before losi ever had the idea. its not as smooth of a crawler out of the box as the rest but its still a cool rig, i liked mine pretty good and if you decide you wanna do rock racing instead then it is definatly ready for it just by the way its built.

Lloyd makes some valid points, but the rig just looks odd.

ya, i consider it to be more of a rock racer than a crawler. its gonna be the same as the losi as in figuring out what gearing/motor to run too.

well robmob sounds like he solved the problem, if it works then i'll get the losi

Actually I only discovered "A" problem with my Losi.

Read the post I just made in my Losi thread explaining what I mean.
