Nope! I haven't but all I can say is that these XTM engines are really good, they can hold up together for a long time.

Well if you put it on the T-Max make sure that the clutch bell dosent rub with the spur gear, I have a T-Max with a O.S CV-RX and it rubs by just a tiny bit need to be pull back a bit for a better center between spur and bell. I know the XTM might be a bit different but guessing that they bouth are .18 it could happen to you as well. (just leting you know), get us a vid once you get it running.

Status: offline 		Well I got some new rims and tires for the MT. I know they are smaller then what comes on the truck. I wanted to try to keep the big truck look but I don't like the stock tires. I was going to get the pro-line tires with there rims, I would need the bigger hex. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLPW5&P=7
So I will try Phenyx tires and see how I like them.

I went over the truck and there where alot of loose bolts and screws. Even the steering servos where out of alinement. I am sure glad i went over the truck. The radio is nice but I used my spectrum. I need to call XTM cause the display got worn from the shipping box. They never put clear tape over it to keep it nice.

Anybody have any ideas on nice big tires and rims?

Status: offline 		well have had mine now for about a gallon and a half and absolutely love the thing....although I must admit, when I looked this thing over before buying, I thought it would be able to take one hell of a beating!!! But alas I was wrong. The throttle servo is a joke (any moisture and it gets stupid), the cvd's break to easy, the hub carrier breaks on the slightest wrong landing, OWB slips, (have to put the truck in front of the heater before trying to start it, otherwise the OWB won't grab)...and the list goes on. But the upside is, got her tuned enough before it got too cold and I could get her to ride a wheelie if I hit a bump/jump just right. Sorry to say, but she's a SHELF QUEEN! Think I'll be looking into a lst xxl or the savages equivalent.

Status: offline 		I emailed XTM about the radio and they would replace it. But I have to pay the shipping to get it to them. I just spent $400.00 why should I have to pay. Any time I ever had a problem with any company's stuff they always paid both ways. Or gave a little extra to make up the difference. Makes me wonder if this is how ther customer support is I am worried about driving the truck.

I read that people are breaking the same parts as you and then I read some say they can't break it! I guess I will find out soon enough.

Status: offline 		Don't know about you guys but I break in the engine by idling it threw a tank and making sure the temps are in the low to mid 200.

I really did not tune for speed just lean out the high speed needle and was going to take it easy in my back yard. Well that did not happen I started to “monster truck it” taking jumps off my deck, jumping and landing on loose 4x4 railroad ties. This truck is a tank. I can’t tell you how many times I full throttle over the ties landing on the roof, ends of the tires that I thought would rip right off the truck. I beat the living sh__ out of this thing and with the body off too and it took all the abuse.

From reading posts about how bad the truck is to bash I thought it was going to break if I ran over a crack but this thing is great! I know I will blow the rear diff out cause I had a lot of landings on the rear axle with the throttle wide open. You could hear the rear pop a tooth or two. I don’t care if they go I will just replace them.

So for me I as of now I love this thing. But time will tell. I will drive it again and take a video so I will let you guys know.

Status: offline 		That MMT is a big old bomb and a lot of fun if you don't expect it to act like a buggy. #1 it doesn't have a center differential so you should only be doing moderate jumps with it #2 the best place for it is on a baseball diamond or in a big park. #3 The shop MMT is almost always on cement and its done plenty of rolls and even a few big jumps very carefully without any problem just don't hit the walls or curbs.............over 3 gallons through that big beast and the only problem I've had is it sticking in first gear when I first got it going. No its not a Savage or a Revo but its as much fun as either one of them because it does what its built to do and thats being a beast
