I just had a quick quesiton does anyone have any info on the xtm monster mt, is it a well bulit truck, how reliable is it, just the basic stuff I was thinking about getting one. any info would really help me out.

Overall its a great truck. the only downside is the parts is a little scarce. Might have to go to ebay and get parts.

For the money, i'd say get an MGT. Go look on the, "Anyone got and MGT??!!" thread.

Parts aren't hard to get and its a killer truck.................everything has a down side right [] this big brut is all good accept the tires and I think its because of it sitting on them all the time when being shipped. I have had to replace a few of them for customers with no problem after ward..........take it for what its worth, I've sold 6 of them and 4 I have broken in at my shop and to me its proved itself.

yup my rims were destroyed after 4 runs ,seems that the truck has too much torqu and literally riped the rims to shreads from the inside out. the new ones i have seemed to fair better . i think they just had a bad batch of plastic on the first run trucks.

here is mine still running rich after 1/2 gallon of fuel strong truck and engine a great basher for a truggy and the price cant be beat

I have heard nothing but good things about it, its THE largest MT

how has the driveline bin holding up

there really isint a drivetrain its got a 2 speed like a truggy no slipper and front and rear diffs . so far i have a gallon on the motor and the nemesis rims and still going

does that .28 move it pretty well, you have some pics with nemesis rims

yes but in the grass its a little over geard i think with a smaller pinion 1st gear it would move faster. i still havent put the center diff in i have it sitting on the shelf, that would help alot in speed off the line

these are the pics with the nemesis rims

That .28 mooves it great and there aren't any drive train problems just tires. Once the tires are replaced I haven't seen any problems at least for a couple of gallons. That 459 or .28 doesn't come alive till your through about a half gallon[X(]

I just noticed the single speed trans............I haven't had time to try that out, lets us no if you do it and how it works out if you would please

Anyone know what other motors will bolt in?

Some one said the other day they had an axial .30 and I know the Sure Fire 32 will work........there are a lot of fits out there if you look hard, That 28 that comes with it is no slouch [link=http://xtm-dealer.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=17&products _id=282]stock 459 or .28[/link] and the next one is a screamer [link=http://xtm-dealer.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=17&products _id=217]457 pro .28 6 port[/link]

Hey you guys think there is some way to get the xtm tranny to work in the mgt.
that would be nice to have that easy looking tranny.

They will make it look worse next year when they come out with the reverse for it and I don't think that would be an easy task to switch those 2. [:'(]

How does this compare in size to the LST and Cen Genesis?

Its bigger

XTM Is slightly longer Gst is Slightly wider. Both have same ground clearance. And LST would look small compared to both of them.

XTM

Specifications:


Length: 25" (63.5 cm)
Height: 12" (30.5 cm)
Width: 17" (43.2 cm)

Wheelbase: 16.5" (41.91 cm)
Tire diameter: 7" (17.78 cm)
Ground clearance: 4" (10.16 cm) with suspension extended

GST

I wouldnt say an LST2 would look small next to them at all, but it is a tad smaller. Check the dimensions

here you go its a good basher but for racing ...not so much its way too big for a track

LOL it might be a good racer if they had an over 15 pound class[&:]

I was just wondering if anyone had the answer to this.  I am new in this whole rc thing.  I traded for a used monster mt and I am having a problem with it.  When I first started it up, I gave it gas and it had to pick up speed.  Like a bad clutch in a car.  The second time I started it up,  It does not move.  It runs and the fan wheel moves like it is supposed to.  Does anyone have a idea on what is wrong?   Thanks New Guy

Have you checked the clutch shoes? If they are worn, they can't grab the bell pinion and engage the drive train.

This may help, check page 45 of this manual download.

One thing for tip, on most nitro's clutch shoes fan out in the spinning direction. On the big XTM MMT, and Mammoths they go on opposite of the spin.

I have a mmt with a xtm racing 457 big block an that motor is no joke very fast an strong I had to put rims an tires with beed locks cuz I would spin the rim inside of the tire plus it would rip the side walls apart so if I were u ied find a Xtm racing 457 big block
