Default RE: Official XTM Monster MT Thread

hey rclynx,i agree with ya lol,you have had one for awhile longer i do believe.............
i know the losi axles should be used....is there a better diff set i can use?
the previous owner trashed three sets and i dont wanna go thru that.
have you run across diferrent bodies for the MMT?
Losi Axles work but the problem is in the QC for the stock CVD's,
I don't put one on the ground without pulling the axles, remove the
set screws that hold the pin and install fresh blue lock tite, torque
the hell out of them and there fine. Differentials don't get much
better than the XTM 1/8, another QC thing to take care of first hand,
shim them properly and install some real silicon oil they hang with
the best. Problem with differentials busting is that 2 speed transmission
that is solid as a rock. If they would make a center differential to fit
that big Momma there wouldn't be a problem with breaking. Ask the
guys with HPI 3 speeds that jump or LST jumpers that land wrong [X(]
no difference.
As for the bodies I have only toyed with the idea of one and it will
change the whole look of it. Its going to happen before June so I can show
it off, Crowd Pleaser 2 with Mammoth ST tires. Bumpers etc will come after
the body is fit on there, Might be changing shock towers to accomidate the low
profile body [8D] I haven't had a chance to throw any other bodies on top
of it to check it out but I will good luck and HAPPY RC'en
