Congrats, killer video!

I think BS should focus more on such creative entries. It would make for a better product. These days all they do is posting press releases from the industry.

thank you ! in fact i had to get noticed by posting some comments on bigsquidsrc's FB page !

I doubt any manufacturer will produce my stuff : complicated steel parts are not easy to mass produce and only an approx 700 USD RTR would sell so i guess that mission impossible !!

This is a really nice build. My local track i use to race with closed down a while ago. I was thinking of selling all my rc equipment as I have never been much of a backyard basher, but I have to say with a truck like that it looks like a lot of fun. Nice work!

thank you for the nice comment ! solid axles monster truck are unique RCs : they are challenging to drive and are a lot of fun even in a tight space ! simply because their axle love to bump of obstacles making them over react !

i'm glad that you liked it ! kyosho mad force is a good place to start if you ever wanted to step in !

Very cool. Thank you. I have recently reentered the RC world at 45 after 27 years away from it. I loved the Clod, but it isnt practical and with today's technology I would hope there would be better out there. But there isnt much to choose from. So I have come to the conclusion that I will need to build my own solid axle monster truck. Do I use Clod axles, axial axles with center trans, etc etc etc..... so it is refreshing to see an actual build. And to see that your build can function so hardcore that I feel this type of build is a must. Definitely in my future plans.

wow welcome back !!
yeah, same conclusion for me, i wanted something durable , so i used steel !

here more details, don't hesitate to ask me !

Dude this is the first time I've seen this post and I just read through every last bit of it. Freaking awesome job man, I wish I had the skill to take on a project like this.

werner sline

thank you ! well, i'm not trained by any mean and learned everything myself !
i even learned arc welding for RCs !

my first homemade mat looked like that :

Cool suspension idea!

werner sline

thank you ! the cantilever suspension has many advantage : much suspension travel, protected shocks. but it doesn't look scale ! so later, i put the shocks in a regular position
