Team Associated Qualifier Series Rival Monster Truck
Brushless Powered Electric Monster Truck
Turn your backyard into your own car-crunching, ramp-flying, monster truck arena!
Team Associated is proud to bring to you the Rival Monster Truck - a Ready-To-Run brushless-powered, 4WD monster truck in the Qualifier Series! The Rival comes ready to crush the competition with many high-performance features, including the XP 2.4GHz radio system, a Reedy brushless power system, and two 7-cell 8.4 volt Reedy WolfPack batteries wired with DeansŪ Ultra PlugŪ Connectors.
The Rival Monster Truck features a super long travel independent suspension that is managed by eight fluid-filled, adjustable coil-over shocks, giving the Rival the ability to roll over just about anything in its path. Giant aggressive monster truck tires provide maximum traction, letting the Rival claw through the toughest terrain with ease. The 4WD drivetrain includes three sealed gear differentials that transfer the power with tough steel CVA drive shafts to both ends of the truck.

Looks like it uses MT4 wheels and tires.

Nice! It looks like it's time to dust off the old MGT spare parts bin. I don't know why, but this truck looks like a lot of fun, even if it is a rehash of an old platform. I want MT racing to make a return so badly, especially as an electric class.

That sucks that it runs on a maximum of 4s stock. My Mt4 can handle up to 6s with the stock esc and motor.

TT actually owns Associated. Associated designs their own stuff but TT manufactures it. That's why my TT MT4 G3 uses the same diff gears as the Associated Rc8 and Rc8t. That is also why this new Associated MT has the same wheels/tires as the MT4.

part that interests me is the battery forward layout. I always wondered how that layout could do since with ah single pack setup, Tekno's buggy handles really well, very high corner speed. Maybe this could be extrapolated to say a 1/8 buggy or such, at least the layout.
