I broke my mt4 g3 in less than a minute of running out of the box. I was sooooo upset, I feel your pain.

Honestly looking from the outside in but seeing what comes in general with RTRs, best bet seems to be to tear anything already assembled down and rebuild it. The people putting these together most likely will not have as much attention to detail as you will being the owner.

Be cool if they offer a kit version of this. RTR seems more like Ready to Ruin than anything else unfortunately.

Looking forward to seeing some track video if someone has it, also, if you have a pic comparing it sizewise to a truggy that would be great.

well the good news is horizon will send me replacement parts.

I asked if they thought this was a point if failure during testing and no real answer regarding an upgrade downstream at this time.

Glad however they agreed this was prematurely faulty.

Not a truggy but this monster truck is about same size as truggy, I think it's body is bigger than standard truggy body though.

Yeah, I've been driving without it, but I haven't been jumping really. I took weight off of other areas of the truck. If it noses down too much I'll add ballast inside the black box in the rear of the truck.

20 minutes out of box rear axle exploded, lol.

trying to keep a sense of humor about it but after waiting 2 months for this to arrive I'm bummed at the failure.

Been waiting all week for replacement parts...sigh.

I decided that for big air, instead of adding weight to the back of the truck I'll just swap two motor wires and do those jumps driving backwards.
