Default MST Max Speed Technology Monster Truck

It looks like MST is coming out with a small shafty monster truck that appears to almost be a direct competitor to the HPI Wheely King.

Here's the post of photo from Facebook.

Looks interesting. Need to see more details, but I'm a MST fan.

Where did you see that? Funny because it looks like a WK and is closer in size to the WK from the given dimensions.

That's random. Wouldn't think of them making one.

I'm not for or against MST, as I've never seen one in person. But it seems to me that to compete with the SMT10, it should have a scale chassis. It's chassis appears very durable, but is a few tubes short of a rollcaged scale monster truck chassis.

Looks like a swaybar in the rear, with chassis mounts for one up front. Dual rate spring setup, and I think the motor is right on the skid. Looks like they've at least covered the basics.

I'll be interested in seeing how the drivetrain holds up to monster truck mayhem.

I can't speak on the quality and/or reputation of the manufacturer, but it definitely tugs at my heart because of the similarities to my beloved Wheely King

If it's cheap I'll buy one and MST has a long history of being affordable... Looks pretty fun.

MST typically includes Tamiya lexan bodies with its kits. They have an unbranded lexan "Chevy" square body truck on this. It looks great, but I don't know who makes that body. This truck continues to look cool and I definitely have interest in it.

It does look a little narrow and the tires don't seem to far off of the Axial BKT units. With that being said , the body is awesome and it does look good. Would be interesting to see what's going on with the axles, centered pumpkin look far more scale than ar60s

It is a smaller rig. There's nothing wrong with that in my book.

They're 2.2's I believe. Somewhere I read this is a Wheelie King competitor more than a Clod competitor.

This looks like an excellent little rig - I'd love to try one out. Having said that, I won't be selling my SMT10 to buy one... yet anyways!

I'm definitely interested, but I wonder if they're going to come out with a kit version. If it's RTR... does it mean it comes with that Chevy type body?
