    Over the past decade, Axial has been synonymous with crawlers and the scale trail community for creating vehicles that inspire endless adventure and creative freedom. Something interesting started to evolve and a trend began to appear, 4WD straight axle Monster Jam® Trucks. What’s usually the first thought that comes to mind when someone mentions Monster Jam? Grave Digger® – who is sitting right up on top! The iconic black, purple, and green graveyard themed paint job has been haunting and thrilling fans for over 30 years. Axial went all out when designing the chassis and roll cage for the SMT10™ Grave Digger Monster Jam Truck. Very similar to modern era full size monster trucks, this chassis was developed for maximum strength and an extremely detailed appearance. Not to mention, it’s the first true-to-scale 4WD straight axle Monster Jam Truck available on the market today!

    SMT10™ TUBE FRAME CHASSIS
    Axial went all out when designing the chassis and roll cage for the SMT10™ Grave Digger Monster Jam Truck. Very similar to the modern era full size monster trucks, this chassis was developed for maximum strength and an extremely detailed appearance. The chassis offers many pivot points for suspension tuning. Scale realism and strength are achieved through triangulation of the chassis tubes, making it ready for maximum attack and hard core Monster Truck bashing.

    2.2 BKT MONSTER JAM TIRES
    BKT is the official and exclusive tire manufacturer of Monster Jam and its fleet of monster trucks. BKT has designed and developed the special BKT Monster Jam Tire, a purpose-built tire to handle the rigors of Monster Jam Truck racing and freestyle competition. The 1/10 scale BKT tire is modeled to provide scale realism and maximum performance for your Axial Monster Jam Truck.

     

    HEAVY DUTY HYDRAULIC RAM STYLE STEERING LINKS
    For steering, we’ve designed a heavy duty tie rod, drag link, and simulated scale hydraulic ram steering link to help get the massive BKT tires pointed in the right direction so you can stay on course.

    TRAILING ARM 4-LINKED REAR SUSPENSION
    The SMT10™ features the proven AR60 axle with a trailing arm 4-linked rear suspension and additional shock mounting positions.

     

    AR60 OCP-AXLE™
    The AR60 OCP-Axle™ is constructed from high strength composite material which has a low flex rate but is not as brittle as standard glass filled nylon. The combination of our axles and a true 4-link suspension gives you optimal performance for any terrain with the look of a real 1:1 vehicle.

    • Off-center pumpkin design
    • Axle tubes are reinforced with a boxed-in axle truss
    • High strength composite material
    • Updated steering knuckles for dual shear, also eliminates secondary bolt on plate
    • Updated differential cover and servo mount for new look

    MULTIPLE SHOCK MOUNTING POSITIONS
    We've included a variety of shock mounting points for running dual shock setups and for additional suspension tuning options. There’s also additional mounting points on the cage and at the axle for moving your shocks to a more scale, vertical position if desired.

     

    REAR SWAYBAR FOR ADDED STABILITY
    A rear sway bar is included to help keep torque twist and body lean to a minimum during acceleration. A sway bar's main function is to control body roll, yet still allow your shocks to move vertically with the changing terrain. The SMT10™ chassis design allows you to add an optional sway bar to the front.

    RECEIVER BOX, WATERPROOF
    The waterproof receiver box utilizes three different silicone seals: one for the antenna, one for the servo wires (includes three slots for three channels), and one acts as a gasket for the receiver box cover. No more stress when running in mud, water, or snow!

     

     

    EASY ACCESS BATTERY TRAY
    The battery tray can be easily accessed at the rear of the vehicle. To install your battery, remove one pin, swing out the tray door and slide the battery pack in. The tray is fully height adjustable with four screws, making room for most standard sized 2S and 3S LiPo battery packs.

    Runs through 'TRUE' monster truck checklist...

     

    1) Solid axles....check

    2) Big wheels....check

    3)Tubular chassis ...check

    4) multi link suspension arms ....check.

    5) NO DAMN WING ON THE BACK ...check

     

    Well done Axial. Before making a monster truck, you actually LOOKED at one, and then built something that looked like the picture. Sure...it's brushed and electric, and a bit pricey ... but it looks like it would be a damn site more fun than a Frisbee on the beach.

    I ain't running no Grave Digger on no beach fool.

    I guess if it's rock-racer based, then it's in the 25 to 30 mph category?
