| PTI MMT (Goliath)
Anybody else got a PTI MMT and have it built? I got mine a week ago and had it out and running around today. It's a reasonably capable crawler out of the box, with a gearing change and a servo relocation it could be real capable. Here's a pic of mine; David |

actaully its much better in fact, think about what your getitng! 2.2s a gear tranny better GC, i mean plus what you think is expensive, if you want your TLT capable, you have to swap trannies (100bucks for a roller) and then 2.2s plus other stuff.....this is deff my choice

Plastic, but it appears to be a hard nylon, I'm not worried about them, though if you upscale it to a 1/10 and you make it heavy it may be a problem, but those pot metal bevel gears in the TLT aren't all that durable either. The diffs are actually TC3 diffs. Quote:

Out of the box the biggest limitations for crawling are the need to get more gearing, (a bigger spur and smaller pinion should help a lot.) and that the front skid plate sticks out farther than the tires, so you have to be vert careful how you approach things. David | |||||||

Wow! It got release finally! Thats pretty awesome. I think it will be a matter of parts availability that decides if the TLT or this is better. I imagine they'll come out quite evenly matched though. I think the PTI is definately a good bang for the buck truck, I mean, like you said, you'd have to spend about $80 just to get a TLT in crawling condition, which is about how much this truck is. What kind of differential is in the center? I have two of these spools for a TC3 that are just sitting in a tool box, and if the truck uses these, I might be able to sell them finally. Can you measure from drive hex to drive hex so I can know how wide the axles are? And whats the stock wheelbase? |

Sorry, I meant what kind of differential is in the axles? Thats where those spools go on a TC3 anyway.

it would be very easy to mount the servo on top of the axle. The axle has 4 holes ready to go. make a little servo plate and some blocks and your done. the bottom of the axles need some shaving though, not round at all. |

Its a pity that servo plate werent metal, you could just bend it up and your servo would be on top of the axle
