RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

By far my favorite of all the newer vehicles today are the monster trucks as I am not a racer but rather an abuser. I recently completed building this one & had a chance to drive it earlier this week. I'm currently running a Mamba Monster motor & esc but I have a Tekin RX8 gen 2 combo that will be going in soon. I've only run it on 6s at this point & all can say is,

WOW! 3 standing back flips with the mash of the throttle landing back on all 4 wheels, AMAZING!!

I know this isn't vintage but if you are looking into monster trucks capable of insane speeds and aerial maneuvers consider one of these.
It's that good.

It definitely raises the age old question of what constitutes an R/C monster truck? I'd say certainly not just putting large tires on something. To me a monster truck has to have at least one straight axle but preferably two.

You are correct sir,This is more of a truggy with large wheels and a short wheelbase. Whereas a cold buster would be more of a traditional monster truck. There are just too many sizes and models now I guess . So blanket terms are being used to classify the various vehicles and this one happens to fall into the "monster truck" category when you search for it.

I'll just call it a "MONSTER" because at times I really am afraid of it...
