Hey flou have you thought about making your mad beast into a crawler. I know someone posted a YouTube video of theirs.

I own this truck
Hello all. I've been lurking around on here and decided to try this mad beast. Since I've had it I've upgraded the servo the servo saver and tires and wheels. The body just cracked on me when I crashed it. Anyways, seems like a good truck so far. I actually just ordered a body for it. I'm running stock electronics on 4S with deans connectors. Anyways does anybody here still have 1 of these or did everyone sell them off already?

Sorry about your bad luck. This trucjmk is very similar to the HPI Savage but there's too many differences. Nothing lines up. I thought I could swap the diffs and trns dem a savage but uii can't. What I did do...
Pick up an old nitro savage from eBay or craighlist or Facebook really cheap. Then.. Swap the motor mount and battery trays to the hpi savage. Now you have a sweet brushless truck that won't break down and all savage, savage xl, etc, parts swap. So for $30 you can swap to bulletproof diffs, and whatever else fits the savage. Putting the battery trays and motor mount on a savage is super easy.
Fact is.. This exceed truck is junk and you will eventually need to upgrade. It'd not all bad because the motor mount is hard to get and it's a godsend when it comes to converting a savage.

Because the materials they're made if are junk. You'll learn soon enough. I have mine a try. It not worth it. For the Dane price, I can get a used savage .25 and a 4s brushless setup
