Was recently at the Jconcepts Monster and Mega tour and while I wasn't able to stay long with three kids in tow, I do want to get a monster truck. I noticed that ahead of the event there was a "class 4" group. What platforms do people typically use for this? I like the SMT10 for the scale looks but from all I read it's a bit on the fragile side. What is the chassis pictured below?

Ah, thanks for the link. Didn't realize it was a conversion kit.

Is there an alternative chassis/platform that people like for this purpose?

You could probable convert any similar 4x4 sc chassis to run those wheels/tires. Body mounting might be tricky, but if you're not afraid of making something it shouldn't be too difficult.

Edit: The front hubs would likely need to fit inside the small 2.6in clodbuster sized wheel, which might be tough with most current SC platforms

Bringing this thread back up. Since I originally started this thread I picked up a Axial SMT10 but still want to get more of a basher style MT in spirit of the Stage 4 MT.

Anyone know which 4WD monster truck chassis can fit 2.6 size wheels? I already have Jconcepts Renegades + Tribute wheels but don't know if they'll fit on some of the available options out there. I've been looking at the Arrma Kraton 4S and the Associated Rival MT but have no idea if the front hubs will clear. Honestly as long as it's 4WD and durable I'm open to other options as well.

For bashing I have an MT410. It is a durable, higher end truck that you have to build. As for tires, the bashing trucks use 3.8 size wheels. These do not look like typical monster truck balloon tires, but perform well on the MT stunt trucks. Big jumps, wheelies, 4s+.

I do not race so I cannot speak for the stage 4 regulations.

Go with the Slash 4x4 and the Jconcepts Conversion Kit. Its about the only one that works well enough and fits the 2.6" Clod Size wheels.
