Should have asked MMT GUNS, there are even more swap overs from the Mammoth ST and the MMT comes stock with the 459 .28, the 457 6 port is there after market rocket.

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

1mm open idle screw, HSN 3.5 turns out / lean from there, hold the throttle wide open, screw LSN in all the way and back out 3 turns (factory starting places) will still have to be adjusted after that [:-]

RE: Official XTM Monster MT Thread
I really gotta say, theres some nce picturesof the MMT on here. Personally, in my opinion, the MMT is amazing.
Im running totally standard, of course there is some problems,such as the whole electronics (receiver, Transmitter, battery, throrrle, Crystals) all goin kaput randomly after 2 weeks from opening it[&:]. My Driveshaft breaking, and My hubcarriers breaking.
Its amazing when its going, has beat off a CEN GST 7.7, GSR 5.0, Nemesis 7.7, Thunder tiger ts-4n plus and more. On and off road. It even took a brand new CEN CT4-R tuned pretty well, The torque just swept the CT4away and top end speed is summit else.
I must admit, I have absolutely bashed it and not much has broke, eg. powersliding into walls, falling 10 feet upside down then flipped over and drove off, not a problem. Compared to others, mine seems to be doing well.

I have not had mine out in a long time. Been to busy racing and not bashing. But maybe when the warmer weather comes I might take it out.
The last time I broken the metal spur gears! I was doing some crazy stuff around the house. It's all good.

RE: Official XTM Monster MT Thread
well here is a update of my xtm mmt , the rear aluminum a arm pin holder will bend and not hold the a arm pins in anymore , the a arms will break if they clip a side or the tire lands on one wheel hard and i mean hard off a 15ft jump.
that is all all in all it runs strong the xtm 28 stilll going strong after 3 gallons of 20% its one of the best and fastest and biggest in my fleet.

Pull the motor out and check your clutch.

Hello
I'm just coming back from my RC coma. Trying to catch up on this MMT topic. Didn't know there was one outside of the Global Hobby forum. (I recognize a couple of you here, howdy). I still have my MMT from the beginning. My first, running, nitro was the XTM Original Mammoth I bought at the Hobby people Scratch and dent sale back in 2004. Went out bashing with a couple of Savage guys. Most of the time out, I'm trying to break something, they were trying to start theirs. In a race NO comp. Mammoth smoked them. I finally broke a wheel hub when I hit a concrete slab half buried in the dirt. The Body was done.
From then XTM was my brand of choice. I got most of the XTM trucks and buggies here and there over the years up to the MMT before I took an RC break.
I seen a lot of complaints about breaking parts, but a lot of it can be attributed to driver's error. Crash is self explanitory.
There some for size, such as the front universal pins breaking. Of course they are going to break more when running on streets. That a lot of torque and grab between the motor and asphalt. Something has to give. To fix/prevent if you are a street basher, run the same dogbone set up in the fron as in the rear.
I'm running mine with the XTM 457, the .28 modded port and the reverse module on it.
The .28 is in one and the 457 is in the other.

Hey can someone help me out. Im new to any rc truck and I really need a few sets of tires for xtm mmt. I now about the the big joe 40 series but where and what kind of rims do I use or look for. Also someone said there is a street tire that fits on the stock rim. I believe they were called veiros, but dont mark my words.

RE: Official XTM Monster MT Thread
Hi,
I'm another Mammoth monster truck owner. At the moment i own two standard (running) trucks which i've only ever had problems when i flipped it and bent the shock tower. Providing you don't crash them,they are a very reasonable truck especially if you buy second hand. Plus i've only had problems with the second gear stripping itself after about an 1 hours driving. I think my motor isn't straight!;-/
Ihave a 3rd truck, in chassis form. Parts its missing is motor, hubs/suspension/shocks, bodyshell.... The plan for this truck was to turn it into a brushless electric truck! Although, I've no idea on how to do this. I was planning on using cheap parts to get it running then upgrade in future. Or if that fails. I was going to fit the biggest motor i could find! ;-D
Ideally, I'd like a savage or something but I'm perfectly fine with the xtm. I don't race it, just on muddy/grassy/gravel fields. For what they are, cheap and fun!
I do live in the UK and parts for these trucks is scarse and certain local shops tend to over charge for the parts. So i have to source online !

Hi I am new to the RC Nitro world, thinking I was getting a deal, I bought a Xtm mmt 1/8 monster truck, ready to run, after adding a receiver and the controller, found out there was parts missing and parts broken.. My local hobby shop, said he would see if he can find me parts, but he didn't sound like he could... Anyone bought parts in last 3 months? from where? Thanks
Oh awesome, is the user manual only thing for rebuilding your truck, after tearing it down to the frame?
