Status: offline 		I have the Mammoth, love it! It is much cheaper than the MGT. With the money you save, you could easily upgrade to the XTM 5mm Shock Towers from Hobby People if you wind up needing to. You can also get the XTM failsafe from them for under $20 (it saved my bacon when I let my receiver battery die). The forum at Hobby People for the Mammoth has a community of users ready and able to give tips and advice re the Mammoth. Read through the posts. It will save you from some newby mistakes.

I run with Savages, MGT's, and Storm trucks. I'm the only Mammoth owner. At first some of them laughed at me, not anymore!!! I've got one of the most capable trucks of the bunch and less money tied up in it XTM is great when it comes to customer support, and they are improving on this new truck every day.

Status: offline 		I just put it in the carb because it's faster to just pull the air filter off and squeeze some in the n pull a few times. Really either one of these ways would work as long as the after run oil gets into the engine.Ken

Status: offline 		yes the locktite is a must. You should put it on any screw that goes into metal. Just take one screw out at a time and put a lil on it then put it back in and tighten.Repeat with all screws going into metal.You should do thid before you even start your truck up. Ken
