Status: offline 		This isn't exactly a place to start a thread about something other than XTM, Besides the Mammoth Kit slams all 3 of those and they also have there problems. Remember something for every one complaint you hear about any RC there are thirty or fourty people out there who are happy with there MMT. All of my customers love there MMT's because they are made aware of there limitations and what it takes to keep them in running order. Its not a Truggy, if your doing outragious jumps you need to know how to do them and thats tricky as hell with a 2 speed. Grab that Savage and do some full throttle landings and the gears come out of it just like the MMT and even worse with the Traxxas. Most of whats wrong with an MMT is the wheels, they suck because they develope flat spots sitting on them for months before they get sold I sell all the models your talking about and get them back for repairs and not one of them doesn't have its downfalls..........You see me with the XTM logo because its the only one I sell on line since Startlogic screwed up my other web site good luck what ever you get and believe nothing that you hear and about half of what you see

So after reading this thread i think its safe to say id be better off getting a savage x 4.6 big block or tower hobbies tower terror or maybe even a t-maxx 3.3. right? if so wat one?



Don't get me wrong! I love my MMT its like rclinx say the only problem i had was the wobbly tires but my wobbly tires did not came out of my box! that happened month before i bought the truck, it was my fault about the broken bearing cause i mist adjust the 2nd gear clutch very wrong but the great thing is that i found the parts right away in all my lhs, "it's a very good truck" like i said before I'm not a hard core basher or speeder I just love off roading and this truck fit's well for my demand.

The Mammoth Pro kit is simply the best thing since sliced bread.

I did have a MMT but sold it because it simply wasnt tough enough for what I do. I like to bash and bash hard. Thats all I do. And the MMT is certainly not made to bash with. Its just too big and the parts are 50% off the XT2 or Mammoth, which in my opinion is poor design. The MMT needs bigger and better diffs, and not a two speed tranny, but a center diff to absorb all the stress and not destroy the front/rear diffs.

It was a fun and very powerful truck, but if your into jumping and bashing, dont get it. And like RClynx said, they all have their problems. My buddy just got a Savage not too long ago, and hes replaced spur gears, engine mounts, chassis bending, etc.

I do love my XT2 though.

Status: offline 		Hello all, new to this thread. I have been racin nitro stadium trucks for a few years and just don't have time for the track anymore. I will be investing in a MT as soon as I get my other nitros sold. There are about 4 that I really like and it has been a tough choice. I read the reviews on the MMT in RC car action magazine and it seems like a real beast. What caught my eye was the shear size and some other stuff like the nice XTM rear exhaust and alum. shocks. I have read thru this thread and like all rc's, it seems like this truck has it's good and bad points. I am down to pickin between the MMT, Monster gt 8.0 , Cen GST 7.7 , or the nemisis. I am lookin for a good , tough, reliable basher that I could possibly take to the track sometimes also. In your opinion, is the MMT that truck, or , if money wasn't an issue, would you lean toward something else? Thanks in advance for any input and happy bashin
