It looks like my finished truck will be around the 30lbs. mark. Do you think the combo our running would handle the weight? Thanks, -Adam

I haven't done anymore than just touching hte motors after some hard running and they never seem to be too hot. That's a pretty generic way of testing though so I don't think I can really give you an accurate answer. The ESC runs just fine and only gets warm and I think that's only because it's tucked inside the bed.

The touch test is good enough for me, how about run times? The swamp dogg jumbo kongs work a little better in the water also if you were wondering. I fillem up with air on my vxl stampede and its faster than a lot of boats haha

I don't think I've ever ran the 5000mah pack down until the MMM cut off actually..... I've been on some LONG trail runs too! I'd say I've ran it upwards of 45 minutes without issues.

Just out of curiosity, what's the speed of just one of the HH Puller motors in a 1/10 rig? Walking speed or would they be faster than that? I have a WK with an extended wb and have learned I am NOT a crawler...I need some speed so I can bash through the mud, etc

Nothing at all lately. I've been to busy on other projects and I traded off the MMM out of it to get a go-kart I got in another MMM but it doesn't work so I'm afraid it'll be going to Castle here soon.

A Go Kart?! Nice trade!

(Id still like to see what you do with your Monster Truck Go Kart too!)

Well, this project of yours here is still my favorite BIG scale ever!

I hope you never let it go... but if you do, you can send it to my place!

Stacks would be a nice edition! I might have to look into that. Finally going to spend a little time on the big monster.

Time to sort this axle issue out.

Those are sick! Can you tell me what the diameter is? I have an interest for sure! I think they might be a little small too but we'll see.

They are 1/2 inch. I don't want anything for them. I will be placing a styrene order soon though.

Hmmm maybe 1/6th rockwells would look good under it?

flip the input shaft you have pictured above 90deg and make them a front load axle, they would look awesome.

Well that is kind of my failsafe plan. Thats what i originally planned to do. I think its the f106 thats setup that way? Then i started to realize that i might be able to pull off the top load axle and wanted to give that a shot. Would be sweet to have a pass through set up for 1/6th scale!
