XTM Mammoth ST thread
#1
i dont know if there is already a thread about this truck, but i guess i will start one.
i just read a review on this truck in a mag, it looks awesome. i have been wanting a monster truck for some time now, however i like the truggies more because they are the new "thing" now, and i have a bunch of .21s for my buggies. the mammoth st looks like an amazing truggy for the price, $339 USD. comes with 24.7 pullstart engine, 2 speed for a top speed of 50mph, threaded shocks, 4 chassis braces(2 fore, 2 aft), universals, rear sway bar, front bumper/skid, decent radio(for an RTR), high torque steering servo(195oz), the list goes on and on.
so if anyone has one or more info on it, please share.
thanks

When I set my Truckzilla side by side to the Mammoth the first thing I noticed was the Mammoth St is longer and the Mammoth St center of gravity is lower also. The Mammoth schould be able to carry more speed into the turns than the Truckzilla. I hope I get to test it out this weekend.

another tip(
), make sure to threadlock all metal-to-metal components on the truck. i read a review on the mammoth st in a magazine, and they said that the engine mount screws, the axle set screws, and the axle cup set screws had not been threadlocked. the magazine mentioned that the truck nearly shook itself apart because the factory skimped on threadlock, so they gave the truck a 7 for parts quality/finish.
you dont want to be looking for an axle pin with a broken ankle(even with your wife watching!

although it seems to be slower on the turns, but thats probably because of a bad steering servo.
