Mine runs great.

I replaced the servos and diffs anyway, and run a Novak Mongoose system in it.

Limited by battery size. Rides very smoothly, steers well, goes fairly fast.

 

I like mine, and the MLST chassis takes quite a beating.

Don't understand why several seriously knock it - never had a problem.

It's a LONG time ago - still have it and really like it.

Viscous centre diff.

Ball diffs - not sure if it's just rear or front and rear - think it's both.

Alloy everything where possible.

Threaded red alloy shocks.

Red alloy arms and chassis brace replaced for alloy.

Servos probably Turnigy I think.

Really not sure, but only problems I've had are with the connectors I used - micro-Deans for some reason. OK now.

 

Like I say PERSONALLY, loved it and not had a problem.

It's NOT a high performance truck, but mine does go well, perhaps mid- to late-twenties mph. (It's definitely not a MERV!).

Standard Raminator wheels - grip well, look great.

Not sure what the servos are - normal 3-pin into normal Rx so must be an 'option' of some description.

Alloy servo savers.

 

NEW photos - as is now.

Guess the 'platform' - makes you realise how small the mini-Ram is and how big 'X' is!!

I was about to ask how big these are. That answers it

They're pretty small, wheelbase is 185mm (same as a mini 8ight).

 

The Savox 0257 is usually a good swap for the useless Losi mini-T servo but from memory there is (was) a mod to the servo plate that allowed you to run a single standard servo instead which would probably be much cheaper and better :)

You may not need much, can also see alloy arms, the upgrade shocks, electronics are changed out and appears to be some carbon lurking on the chassis :)

 

Edit to say:

Just been looking some more, reckon that's got the Exotek kit on it. Very nice. :D
