.AJ. Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Though I best start a thread now I own one of these little beasts, this is a open thread so any other owners/fans can join in and add pics, vids and tips etc..... Mine arrived this morning, the box was a little worse for wear, but I’m happy to report the contents are in perfect condition 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PraetoR Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Love the fact that you own one and that it'll be turned into something truly special... Hate the fact that my Pro-MT 2WD is no longer the best 1/10 Monster Truck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 I would have preferred another 2wd tbh, but Traxxas have seen fit to stop Proline making any car parts that are compatible with anything Traxxas, that’s why the 4x4 is a completely new design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersavage Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 That thing looks incredibly beefy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetoR Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Yeah, so I gather. Typical. Riddle me this, when the time comes that I need a rear drive-shaft, rear hub, rear arm, what have you... would the 4x4 parts fit the 2WD? I get the gearbox, slipper etc will be different, but what about replacing the entire rear arm assembly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Hmm, the 2wd PMT has the longer protac arms, shafts and over sized rear hubs. You could change them for standard length Slash/rustler arms, shafts and hubs, but you will lose loads of offset, it’s all doable though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Doing a quick mock up of the electrics, again for some reason Proline haven’t bothered with a RX box, I’ve got a Arrma one to fit to the front top plate tho Oh and the Badland MX28 wheels set look bad asssss 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetoR Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Yeah, I think I'd attempt to make the 4x4 parts fit, rather than fit Slash/Rustler arms, for two reasons: 1- They wouldn't be the same strength, nor quality of the Pro-Line upgrade parts. 2- Traxxas can go whistle!

Carpmart Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Couple of questions mate... Where did you buy from? Got a link? Total costs including shipping and import duty was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 I can’t see any parts being cross compatible tbh H, I got it from Towers, I had a $60 off coupon, so came in at around £285 shipped and then £65 customs on top https://www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGYZZ&P=ML Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they gonna take aim at RPM next? I watched a vid of one of these recently, couldn't believe the beating it took and didn't break a single part! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see you Clive I have to say, the layout of this is definitely better than that of the 2wd version. The way they did the 2wd limits your ESC choice without modification. It also really limits battery choice, again, without modification. Not the hardest things to overcome, but still annoying, this 4wd version looks much better IMO.

.AJ. Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 No idea on the RPM situation Clive, but considering Traxxas have pretty much killed Hobbico, I wouldnt put anything past them lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collective itch Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 this looks awesome, chris over at hemistorm had a video on it few days back. torn between this and a tekno for next 1/10 truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 I would have loved a MT410, but it’s worked out too expensive for my liking. Theres plenty of places round here, it’s trying to keep away from the idiots that’s the problem, I go to this place a fair bit, it’s nothing crazy, but fun enough for me. I’ve never been a huge fan of skate parks and much prefer dirt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 im after a 4 wd 10th scale mate, would you say its better than the 2 wd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 If you believe the hype then this the best 1/10 MT available at the moment, I’m not including the the MT410 in that statement because to me that’s a 1/8 scale along with the likes of the Outcast etc....

bertberr Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Could you tell me the height / width of the mx28's please? And roughly what offset, ie hex nearer inside or outside if wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I'll not taint the thread with airing thoughts on Traxxas, we all feel the same way. I'll try to find that vid later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I feel the chassis layout alone makes it better than the 2wd version already. I wonder if they sorted the weak stub axle issue with this release, given it's meant to be pretty much completely new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 It’s a completely new design, the axles and hex’s are proper 1/8th style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
