my custom build twin engine rc monster truck

Here is my first really big project.(before I build my real dune buggy) Its a custom build twin engine monster truck, totally made from the highest quality 7075 aluminum. powered by two XTM 24-7 pro engines (over 2,5 hp each). The acceleration is sick as you can see in this video. I built it 2003-2004 when I was 16 years old. Total cost 30 000 SEK or 00

  22. FordsBetter516 says:

    this thing probably has so much torque..

  23. crf450ish says:

    my erevo brushless would smash on this thing…..but this is still cool!

  24. hydeangel74 says:

    Get some wheelie bars on the back dude! That’ll save a lot of repairing

  25. mohabiraq1 says:

    your broke your toy.

  26. LoveJesusLoveJehovah says:

    Well, which Hitec servos would you recommend for my jato 2.5r?

  27. Squirrelod says:

    @LoveJesusLoveJehovah that is what traxxas uses. I prefer others but that will work

  28. LoveJesusLoveJehovah says:

    Is the Traxxas 2055 High Torque Servo made for both steerig & throttle. As Modelsport lists only this part?

  29. Squirrelod says:

    @LoveJesusLoveJehovah I would get a good servo like the Hitec line. The cheap ones will fail pretty quick. If they will not take it back then you might as well cut your losses.

  30. LoveJesusLoveJehovah says:

    Sorry I forget to tell you that my Jato is the old jato 2.5 racing engine with the older transmitter tq transmitter & receivers. It’s at east 2-3 years old. It’s not a new 24Ghz type of radio although I wish it was!

  31. LoveJesusLoveJehovah says:

    They aren’t the traxxas servos. I think I will buy the original traxxas servos from modelsport & then hope that someone will be able to help me. I bought it from modelsport Otley but they said they had too many repairs & they always say that whenever I ring them as though they won’t repair it for me for a charge. They wouldn’t even explain for me proerply how to do it. You or someone else on youtube are my last source of help really. Thanks again if you can help i any way :)

  32. LoveJesusLoveJehovah says:

    Hi squirrel. I hve a Traxxas Jato 3.3. My steering struggles turnung wheels left, slowly & not as well or as much as urning right. Also I ramed it into a pavement & find it the Throttle servo cracked. It doesn’t accelerate away. So I buy a new servo. But realize I need to buy another one. Reason being because modelsport told me to use poor steering servo for throttle & use new servo for steering. They wouldn’t take it in otley & fix for charge. How do I install servo, setup, align etc… thanks

    Hey squirrel-I know this is off topic-but I just got my new BL451&BL351-and the 3pk fasst system-can I charge my servo batteries and receiver battery with my 4 volt quick charger even though the receiver has a 1.5 max amps regulator of some sort and only allows 1.5 amps to come in-would the quick charger still be functional with this system?-Thanks and keep up the great work!
