RCAdam Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I still want this badly Have you seen the other versions from Monster Jam, such as the Son Uva and Monster Mutt? <- that one is hilarious 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) They look like fun trucks on YouTube theres some videos with them driving along rope lines and other crystal maze type rc fun it made me want one but I got the slash in the end. Choosing between grave digger and son unva is as hard as choosing slash or pede I think grave digger would just tip it for me tho I like the green and ther dad is mental son uva is trying hard tho my daughter watches monster jam and the diggers pull off the best stuff.

big turbo Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 My sons got the son uva digger great little truck seems to be holding up well. It's now brushless on 2s lipo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Great and tough little truck. One 'upgrade' worth considering is changing the bushes to bearings. I made my son's 'VXL' as well, but its not really necessary. Goes great as it is. Al. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just rolling Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Oh god bushes! Where abouts are these on the truck? Gotta have a grave digger unless u and mates are running a few of these trucks, think when the weather gets bad I will just use this truck and keep my f150 slash and asso pro rally for better days and speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 These are basically just the old 2WD Stampede re-shelled. My lad has a brushless converted one with an HPI 'Iron Outlaw' shell intended for a Wheelie King. Brushless wears out the rear axles after a while... so I am looking at upgrades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just rolling Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Am guessing the bushes are on front and rear axles? Sure the gear box is ball raced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big turbo Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yer just for front and rear wheels box has bearings already. They are 5x11x4mm I got mine of eBay just some cheapish ones in a pack of 10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just rolling Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Cool al order them now, still waiting on delivery for the truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Part of a 'sad' game I had, when in Alaska, where i ordered it from Tower Hobbies. Spun the wheels and saw how long it took to stop - difference really was huge - 4x longer with bearings. Great truck. Takes a beating. Thing is, even if you do break something, it's still cheap(ish) to repair/replace. Al. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tingtong333 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/29498-image/ My Stampede with a Gravedigger shell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just rolling Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 got the truck, dremmelled a little to fit my other 7 cell flat battery in, its so great, looks cool but am surprised how much power and speed it has for a brushed truck, traxxas have a done a good job for a great monster truck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 It's good, fun little truck right out of the box!! Enjoy!! There are LOADS of hopups if you want - but is it necessary? Keep it standard, and its cheap to run, bash, break, repair, run .... Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just rolling Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Al fit the bearings and if anything breaks I will get the green rpm stuff, other than that its great as it is :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
