I’ve not had any yet myself but I believe e6000 adhesive is a viable alternative to the shoe goo 👍🏻 That's a great idea Ross, thanks mate. I can also see how good the results could be with the materials you've suggested. Thanks again, Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross9999992 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Ahh no worries, and yeah - strong but also still flexible. I’ve not rebroken (is that a word?) anything I’ve repaired/reinforced with tape’n’goo but I don’t really abuse my kit 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyklone6 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Just to add my 2 pence, I've had my MT10 for 6+ months and given it a decent beating. It's a riot! Love it. The only breakage was a cracked skid plate and ripped the thread out of the steering turnbuckle. Somehow managed that without damaging an arm. Even at £269 + battery I'd say it's still good value 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah, that is an issue. It does traction roll fairly easily on grass/grippy surfaces. It has a stiff ride and anti roll bars which is unusual for an MT (I think?) which contribute to its rollypolly ways. I've not messed with lowering the ride, but you're dead right that is a feature of this MT like a lot of others. But I bet you you could tune it to be more forgiving if you were so inclined 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross9999992 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 But it’s supposed to roll over it’s a monster truck 😆 This is why I prefer having a buggy and a monster truck and why I find truggies a bit boring (because if I have a buggy and a mt then I don’t need a truggy) 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazz150 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 My new mt10 has developed this noise after only 5 or 6 run outs which is a shame. I've stripped down the servo and have found some wear on the gears. Does this all add up to a stripped gear, sounds so to me. Do I need to be cautious over what replacement servo I purchase? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Does sound stripped mate and investing in a metal geared servo would be worthwhile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spunkymunky88 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 does anyone know if there is a upgraded spur gear for this car as my pinion came loose and the grub screw came out taking a chunk out of the spur gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunkymunky88 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Has anyone known to have intermitant steering jitter on this i think its a transmitter or reciever problem so let me explain when driving in a straight line every so often it turns left without steering on the remote so i switched the channels on the rx and when i had it on a stand it accelerated all by its self touching no controls but its not constant its intermittant has anyone else known this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyklone6 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Yeah I had that happen to me not long after buying my MT10. It was the transmitter. Thankfully I got a warranty replacement off the model shop I bought from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunny Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 What diff and shock fluids are people running? I picked up one of these used for a decent price but before taking it out want to give it a service and check everything is tight and fluids are ok.

Fred barlow Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Ours are both stock weights, all I have done is top the diffs up as they were low, the shocks will get checked when I have the service kits and whilst fitting the rpm arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyklone6 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I've got the stock oil all around except for the centre diff, where I put 60k CST to try and keep the front wheels down a bit. One thing I've noticed is the 2.5mm e-clips holding the piston in the shocks has become worn and let go a couple of times, so I got some off eBay that seem to have held on a little better. Also I've snapped the front skid plate a couple of times. Shame RPM don't do an upgrade for that I reckon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunkymunky88 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I have a mt10 and i have fitted skid plates on it and body clip retainers but when i play out now im noticing the shell breaking at the rear body posts i have tried duck taping it i have tried putting washers in but its still happening any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
