That will not work without a fully locked center diff.

I do have another center diff coming I was going to use for spare parts, maybe I'll try the silly putty trick with the center diff this weekend.

Some pics from my build: pic 1, 'the D bag' tee hee; pic 2, 2wd Slash rear hub carrier vs mt410 size comparison . Bags A-E done. Halfway thru bag F I said 'F this', I will wait for my Tekno shock/pivot ball tool to arrive. I hope it has magic powers, which I have decided is what is required to push those pivot balls into the camber rod ends. Overall, the build is very cool. I'm glad I got this kit.

Hi guys. I'm taking my time, building on weekends and it will likely be at least a week or more before I get to electronics. Here is what is presently on its way: 1 Hobbywing max 8/2200 combo, 1 Hobbywing max 8 ESC alone no motor(ordering error), 4 proline mashers and a 16T pinion. Would I be better off with option A: run the HWmax8/2200 combo, send back the mashers and order shockwaves. OR Option B: send back the HWmax8 combo, keep the ESC alone, order a motor >2000kv, and run the mashers?

Thanks for your opinions.

It is up to you, the mashers balloon more and are heavier. The shockwaves are lighter and have less deep thread pattern. I would get the HW and 2200kv and get the shockwaves, just for the sole purpose of less ballooning.

For an MT I personally don't really care about tire ballooning, as speed and handling is not the purpose of an MT anyway and I have other cars for that. I do like the positive effect of lighter tires on the electronics and drivetrain wear/breakage, but do the Shockwaves provide enough in air control and "flip-ability" at low speeds?

the mt410 has such a short wheelbase, it will be fun with the lighter shockwave anyway. check out my videos to see what i can do with a regular long truggy and light truggy tires ( 200 gr each ) on 4s ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a3FFPVXMy0 )

Yeah, but you're the stunt master! I still need my stunt training wheels :).

That is a massive jump lol! Great driving skill to land all of those tricks. I've come across your channel before but didn't know you were on this forum. Vids are very entertaining, keep up the great work!

I had some downtime between heats at a race I was at this past weekend. I had my MT with me so I did a couple of quick hits. The jump was about 4-5 feet tall with a large drop-off (15-20 feet high) and flat landing. Shot it with my phone in slow-mo.

I mainly use the MT for a side business and usually don't get video of it, but figured some enthusiasts would enjoy the slow-mo.

great vid, we need more of this !

thank you man, it's indeed a nice ramp. just like BMX and FMX or any freestyle sports : more time in the air , more time for tricks !

Great slomo, going huge off that lip! Any breakages from those huge jumps or does the long grass help with impacts? Is your MT mostly stock?

The center driveshaft was a bit wobbly (has already been re-bent a few times) but otherwise no damage. The grass may have absorbed some impact, but it definitely was landing hard. I worry more about the electronics than I do the truck. As a racer, those flat landings rattle my bones.

Other than the extended hex adapters to help make room for the MX Badlands it is stock down to the box set-up. I've dropped it out of the sky literally hundreds of times. It takes it.

Great video DOb! Is that a triple backflip i see (second jump?).
