Try getting a better engine or a 7 cell battery. i dont have a mad bull so you might want to buy these to at tower hobbies. you should get a pinion set, and a couple of spur gears. if the motors to powerful it will shread the gear.

Get smaller tires and see what happens. Tell your dad to go e-bays and get some old Tamiya 2WD rims with block tires that has 6 holes on it and some skinny 2wd ribs for your front tires. To make your battery last longer, invest in some reversible Electronic Speed Control (ESC) which sell at least 40 bucks new (towerhobbies.com) and get a 3000 MaH Nickel Metal Hydride battery from Radio Shack ($34.99) with it's quick charger (I think it was $60 but it's a very good $60 bucks of investment) and you should have more fun with your Mad Bull. The Big tires is the reason why your battery drains so quickly. Try with the Radio Shack battery first, if it didn't help...yell your dad to go online and buy you an ESC

i found out about the 3000 Mah battery and am gonna make my own. Could you put the prices in £'s since i live in england.I know where to get it all. Thanks alot for all your help.

i dont see why you should get smaller tires. and you cant get bigger pinions since it has fixed gears. go for a rebiuldable stock motor and a esc and a good battery pack. i put together one and since the bigger tires make it geared higher it goes faster. but if you want higher run time go for the smaller ones. and you can get durataks esc for less than fifty. go to great plians for that.

i never saw the gearing on the madbull. I have an evader st and a smaller spur gear and a larger pinion gave it more power. i want more power out of it so i going to get a 7 cell (will fit) and it i can a p94 16turned. you have a point though smaller tires would make to good of use offroad. but the 3000 battery should work.
