Can anyone tell me what diff fluid I should be using? All stock. The manual only mentions the 4 bevel option.

Hey man, I've taken note of the part numbers so thanks for that. I'm changing my spur tomorrow so was just going to refill the diffs while I'm there. Very little information around.

I had the Fazer Mad Van and the Outlaw Rampage, I ended up selling both because of having such a hard time finding parts.
I hope you have better luck than I did.

I had the same issue with information. Also difficultly finding spare parts. I don’t know if finding parts for Kyosho is more difficult compared to other companies or not. I’ve never had an issue with Tamiya and parts supplies.

I started this thread over a year ago. I been thinking about the Mad Van, since I sold mine a few months after purchase. I kind of regretted getting rid of it, just based on the cool factor.
Today, I strolled into my local Hobbytown and there it was, on the shelf, a new brushless Mad Van. I had to have it.
So the Mad Van thread lives to see another day!

What hood is that one on your mad van ???
Thats exactly what the issue was. I couldn’t find any specs on the ESC, Kyosho is terrible. I looked all over the Internet. I was hoping that it could handle an 8T like the Dynamite version, but no luck.
I tried to fit a 12T 550 Arrma motor in the van, but it is too long and the shaft is too long. I threw the 14T stock motor back in until I figure out what to do with the truck. I’m thinking a mild 3300kv brushless system would do the trick. In the meantime, I’m running the truck without the van body. Gotta keep that nice......for now.

Thanks for the heads-up! I’m definitely considering getting one, as I like monster trucks. I still remember bringing one to my university campus and getting a warning from the administration. However, the parts support issue is a bit concerning.
