Yeah got my Monsoon
It came today, funny too my failsafe came in too. Putting it in now and yes a return spring ehroof lol. I'm very impressed with the quality I see, looks like you can adjust anything and everything. I knew it was a big truck but sitting by my amax cheetah it looks massive. As well looks like pretty strong parts. Love the look of the chrome pipe and sh motor. Woullda thought the fuel tank would be bigger but no biggy. Will be breaking it in tommor I doubt my neighbors want to listen to it at 8:15 pm
. Thanx to all that told me to get the monsoon.

Make sure the pipe is not touching the fuel tank. It will melt the tank. The tank looks small but it is a 150cc tank like on most truggies. Also check your wheel nuts and misc. bolts and make sure they are tight and loctite them.

RE: Yeah got my Monsoon
Heh...Heh wait til your wife hears you START it!
It Scared me the first time (First 1/8 I had ever SEEN close up) as I was used to mine and my Buddies Volcanos n Tornado.
1/8 is a WHOLE NOTHER BALLGAME, Bro.....Lol I was seriously afraid I might Hurt Someone if I lost control!
But once you get over the initial Shock, Its AWESOME...Tons of Power! Lots of FUN!
Do yourself a Favor tho, and find a Nice Big Wide Open Space to break it in.....
