The chain drive in the mad force is not needed to make it work. all you need is to put some drive cups onto the ends of the shafts of the mad force 3 speed.
The 3 speed unit itself can actually fit onto a 7.5 buggy (or just about any 1/8 scale buggy I guess) but you have to move the front center diff upright forward and shim the upright up a bit, move the gas tank or get a smaller one to clear the 3 speed clutchbell and get a custom made up front driveshaft. A couple guys did this on their Landmax 1 (inferno DX based) and Landmax 2 (mp7.5 baased) rally cars. Its a sweet setup and I almost did it to my landmax 2 but I found a powerfull engine and big clutchbell is a lot more reliable and simple.
