Hormann Monster Truck
Anyone have one? Just wondering what you think of it, and if you have pics, vids, etc to share. It looks very nice but also very expensive, is there any justification for the high price other than the "all aluminum" factor? I'm sorta itching for another 1/5 MT, kinda regret selling my FG MT5 a while back.

RE: Hormann Monster Truck
To some people, performance isn't everything.
Example... I'm making a drifter 1/5th scale, you've probably seen my start, the Viper I call coppertop. I have a Samba/TOPSA pipe on it, which is one of the strongest pipe available for the car, but it's coming off in favour of a simple X-can, as that will allow me to do the pipe routing I want for a realistic look (twin large bore tailpipes in the right position). It's a trade off between bling and power. You should do whatever you want, be aware of the pros and cons and make your own decision. For sure that twin pipe isn't generating the same power as a Dominator for example, but do you really need an extra 1hp? Or would you prefer it looks cool as hell? Choice is yours.

RE: Hormann Monster Truck
im not really concerned about making more power as its plenty powerfull as it is already , and proberly might help decreasing the power in my application lol im sick of my clutch failing and snapping not only pinion bolts but clutch plate bolts lol , but maybe all that is gonna be solved soon cos i have a load of new upgrade parts on the way to my home lol . my twin exhaust mod i want to do is use two DDM long sidemount pipes on either side , i think it would look cool as , what do yous all think ? .
that horman truck sure is nice but the price is scary man , i say if you buy it just keep it and love it dont ever sell it . but on the other hand its already close looking like the FG MT i would just buy another FG MT .
