and some of the Monster GT... Team Associated, same truck: Watch at least the first minute. The jump at 38 seconds in is simply huge.

Just got mine, it's a heavy beast lol, smaller than an lst xxl or savage xl but seems fairly sturdy, Cooling head is beyond huge.

[Morpet]

Wait till u drive it mate it's nuts Lols

[sean-vrs]

Look forward to see what you do with it mate

[Baja 5b]

Ok, so I've run a quart of vp racing 11% oil 25% nitro though it today, which BTW went in under an hour lol.

 

First off it's stupid hard to start due to having huge compression but once it's going for the first time it was okay.

 

I've replaced the RX with a spektrum sr300, using a hump pack and have replaced the terrible standard exhaust deflector with a better one which stops the rear of the car getting covered in ****e.

 

Thanks

 

BTW I doubt this will be faster than a well ''tuned'' 3 speed savage xl with an lrp engine but well see, can't complain as this barely cost more than an lrp zr.32...

[Morpet]

Good thinking on the deflecter which one did u use?

Thanks

So I just took it out for another run got through another 3/5th's of a quart, I leaned it up a little man does this thing rock the torque is silly it'll pop a wheelie from what seems like around 14,000-15,000 rpm.

 

Very cool, well happy thanks.

 

This thing drinks like it's from Ireland.

Glad you like it mate, I've got 2 tanks installed to help its thirst lol Edited June 3, 2014 by sean-vrs

[Baja 5b]

Yeah I've got a twin tank kit on the way, which will be good. 

 

These are very good value I'd say.

 

The speed of it isn't ''unmatchable'', I'd say it's about the same as a savage x with a f4.6 engine however, the engine runs sooo well even which rich it'll wheely with no problem the savage will only wheelie when you get up into the high revs.

[jordanp]

when i get mine im gona be as fast as i can to strip it then run it

[Morpet]

That'll be the high torques it was originally an heli engine

[sean-vrs]

yea it's all low end and all the better for it I reckon with it being a heavy monster truck I like the lazy power.

No messing mate, I'm running my tanks in series.. Drains one then jumps over too the next

i run a 4.6 x and that for me is spot on

[jordanp]

ooh heli, i did think about gettin into nitro helis but the dam price likes

[Morpet]

Dam hard to fly too but then so are the real things as I found out lost weekend

[Baja 5b]

Yeah I also like to run my tanks in series and just keep the engine temp around 80 degrees aof the first hour of run time then I lean it out and drive it relatively gently until I run out of fuel!

 

TBH I CBA with fuel economy. If it used loads of duel then so be it! It's not that expensive especially given how cheap it was in the first place, well at least when compared to all similar monster trucks

 

Thanks

[sean-vrs]

yea I've polished off 5 litres in 3 weeks lol, all good fun mind.
