RE: XTM MAMMOTH V. AE MGT
Nice photos, BTW!! Man, it MUST be big with all the empty space in the chassis!!
Two minor quibbles (relax, I'm not slamming!).
1) No chassis stiffeners. The Maxx has it's braces, and the MGT has two "I-beams" to stiffen their pan chassis ("chassi"??). I'm surprised that a BIG truck like this wouldn't have something too.
2) Those supports would ALSO serve to protect the TRANSMISSION, which curiously protrudes through the bottom of the chassis. I guess that lowers the COG a bit, but without any protection, that little plastic box is dyin' to get whacked. And it's not like there's not any room up above for the whole tranny unit!!
Like I said, minor quibbles, but it also creates a nice hopup opportunity for the creative owner or an aftermarket company.
