    This truck is bad ass.
    No insane stunts here but have been running 6s wide open but in a wide open area. It's fast. It handles well.
    Been running once or twice per week since April. No problems, knock on wood. DID ADD a heat sink and fan over the summer but never thermoled out or anything..

    I just broke my axial smt 10 today I was driving and having fun until I went around a corner to run into a pumpkin. I broke the servo saver sadly. My dad go upset that I broke it so soon but I fixed it with a zip tie and hot glue and so far so good. With the past 2 days that I’ve had it I have had a great time. Other than when I broke it😅

  • @3Y3ECE
    @3Y3ECE Рік тому

    You are not wrong about those upper inner suspension arms... I've never driven mine above 4s, 60C, and I've broken 3 total sets of the fronts now. 1 plastic set, and 2 aluminum. The problem is the diameter of the turnbuckle, you want 5mm, their's is 3.5 maybe 4, but those break every time. I am about to begin rigorous testing on 5mm in plastic. Arrma turnbuckles are like 9.99 a pair, so a $10 upgrade that may prolong it significantly.
    That said, It's also nice to know where the weak points of any vehicle are, and interesting to see how much replacements will cost...
    They are one of the cheapest things to replace on the Kaiju. So that's a win. Just order 3x sets and you'll be great for a while.
    Just my 0.02 cents. My $399.99 Kaiju is now worth $1000 in parts and upgrades, and she still has the stock motor, ESC, and radio/receiver, tires and body... But I have most all of the aluminum and metal upgrades and such now... Highly advise the sway bars...
    Great rig. Nice to have a fully upgraded and dialed in basher for the starting cost of most of the bigger names. Great video. Very honest!!

    Truly a crazy truck just wish it wasn't so frail and for customer service actually to back their product they say they do but so far nothing but excuses they even made claims to knowing alot of them are faulty out of the box and still lack a resolution and as far as parts go constantly sold out so even the parts they promise to send out to help resolve said issues never showed up as for weak parts .drive cups ,cva shafts , body mounts, servo horn is a must replace, pinion gear and lack of loctite .....super fun when you can actually have the parts you need to actually run the damn thing also be aware the diffs are not really protected or sealed or greased really at all like I said it's a fun truck just make sure you can stock up on everything/upgrade parts if possible before wasting your time

As of today, I'll set the trim and it will be fine, then after a hard turn or a full lock the steering will be waaay off, after i slow down or stop and re-zero the wheel it will be straight again. Then after some speed or a hard turn - waaaay off again.

      It looks more like a scaled up Rival MT10 (which was based on the platform of the Helion Avenge 10MT) if you look at the shock guards, bumper, wheelie bar, electronics box, shock tower stylings, etc. The underside of the chassis is definitely designed a bit different, probably to add stiffness for the extended length. That said...the MT10 is an awesomely fun truck that is pretty durable. So I look forward to running this. The shock tower braces definitely give it that Traxxas Maxx look.
