Ocdcbr Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 If that's £50 or a bit less I'd be happy enough. Really hoping proline comes out with something super cool though.... Wheel options b great too.... Just for the option. Not saying they r actually "needed" just yet.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capri-boy Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Fingers crossed Traxxas team up with Monster Jam again, certainly would make sense for them to do so with the Xmaxx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few suspension tweaks should reduce its tendency to roll. Off-set rims and/or axle extenders will also make a world of difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocdcbr Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) That 8s short vid does nothing for me to make me want to do the same. All he really manages to do is crash it. I noticed from his traxxas forum thread that he had no interest in running the stock system and it really shows that he's got very little experience actually using the truck. Myself i I prefer the idea of using is stock to its full potential, making mods as u go to make it better as u find its weaknesses... Then if it's not up to it maybe power up... I see him ruining his truck and drive train in short order... Maybe not tho. We'll c ive seen a cpl short vids from a guy on urc that's just got 1 Friday and they are low quality.... They do make it look a bit slow and lumbering though. Im looking forward to us lot getting ours!.... A UK opinion on this is going to be interesting.. We don't have that same rose tinted view of traxxas over here...( so much) Edited December 21, 2015 by Ocdcbr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeecup Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Can I ask a stupid question related to MTs? Are Monster Jam a company who own all the trucks? Are they the same underneath? I just thought it was a tv show (although I have never watched it). I just always sort of assumed they just ran the competition and that the teams were kind of 'home grown'.

Tug Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Most of what I've seen on video looks pretty quick off the mark, with a respectable top speed. The lumbering vids are on 4S. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
