I have an LMT Mega and can’t agree more that it’s my favorite RC. My steering servo, servo arm, and axle link mount broke pretty quickly but once I got those sorted it has been a solid runner. Just about due for my first shock rebuild, and I went for the limit straps from the start. Can’t say I’m easy on the truck and it’s holding up great!
Hi ! I own since a few months an LMT and I love it ! It's highly modified with Hackfab carbon chassis, Vitavon axles, Treal upper and lower links, Treal chassis brace, Spektrum 2050kv motor plus a few other things and this truck is now a real BLAST to drive ! I was an rc touring car driver but I've never had so much fun with an rc ! Thanks for all your vids and advices !
@@alexroy8844 Hey! Thanks for watching, glad to hear you’re having fun with your LMT! Those Hackfab chassis are pretty sweet, I’ve heard a lot of great things about them. 🤘😄
Yes, this chassis is a great improvment over the stock alu one. To improve even more m'y truck, I've ordered a Bowhouse battery tray to replace m'y Integy one. I've seen in your vids you're using it and it Looks lower the mine. I really like your vids and advices, it's really helpful for me
Love the LMT, and I appreciate your videos on it. I’ve been expecting another company to make a competitor to it (or a Losi LMT V2 for that matter) because it seems like the market should be big enough. We’ll see!
Owned my LMT for 3 years! Most of the time where the diffs sits in the plastic axle housings is where it'll start skipping, it's due the flexing of the plastic carriers in the axles when more power kicks in. When I upgraded my LMT with the treal axles the gears stopped skipping but then blowing out my diff bearings! lol Great content brother!
I purchased an LMT as a roller and it was missing the outside bearings on the rear axle hubs. I reached out to horizon and they sent a pack right away. Great point to triple check everything right out of the box. Great video BTW, very informative. Thanks!
This is a top video. The LMT is fantastic! I have had my LMT since release, never broken an axle. For factory changes to the LMT I would be nice if the front upper link bolt was not obscured by the servo mount and a stock cage that fits under a proline C10 body better.
Thanks for all this awesome information. I just ordered one earlier today and really didn't know that much about them other than they sure can do some neat stunts. I am totally into the Spectrum electronics for reliability and ease of use. Thanks for sharing your tips on the sway bars and punch settings. Great video and the commentary was very crisp, enjoyable and packed with useful info. 🏆
Love my LMT…I’ve done a ton of Treal upgrades (F&R axle housings, steering components) and run a castle system in it on 4s (usually just run 3s ..plenty of power still) I have yet to break it ….but I don’t beat it to death either….ive recently installed some sling king wheels/tires on it for a different look… I have yet to try it out….should be fun!
I have the 1/18 losi and I really want a loud sound module that sounds as real as possible, while not hurting performance due to added weight and power consumption
Great video thanks a ton. Very informative and you nailed it. The talk about the axles had put me off from purchasing one. Do you have any recommendations for racing set ups? I heard the roller version has a longer wheelbase with racing in mind. Just curious. Waiting the next sale on the RTR model.
@@lo-rent-hobbit Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, the TLR Tuned roller is set up for racing out of the box. For racing an RTR, I’d recommend removing the roll cage, upgrading the servo & servo saver, switching to JConcepts Renegades/Tributes, and installing LCG electronics/battery trays. Or if you want to go all out, you can purchase something like the Blackmarket RC FYTR racing chassis. 👍
I have a King Sling that I haven't really used that much... I think I would drive it a lot more with Monster Jam type tires, and am really hoping to get some for it soon. Looking at the Jcon website and their tires, theu have a package deal for tires and wheels together. I'm debating between Fling Kings or Renegades, on their LMT specific wheels in silver, and most likely will also get their 17mm adapters. Any suggestions? I did have an axle housing break, and I repaired it and reinforced it with CA glue and ashes, yes ashes, from cigarette... it actually works pretty well and has stayed together for a few runs and about 6 or 7 packs since then, both 3s and 4s but no big jumps. I think the newest axle housings are a 2nd revision and possibly even better than the revised mud truck ones, so if I break them again I may go ahead and just use the new plastic housings and reinforce them inside the webbing before assembly. If there's a problem after that I will consider aluminum options, there is one fairly affordable option that jist replaces one piece of the stock plastic axle housing, and I think that would be enough for me as I don't intend to bash the truck hard. Thanks for the videos, let me know what u think about the 2 tire options for general offroad fun and light bashing, no racing and no plans to run it on pavement, jist dirt, rocks, grass, etc... Cheers...
@@isaiahfurrow7414 Tires can definitely make a big difference. Renegades are a great all-around option, so I recommend those. Fling Kings are a blast, but my only complaint is they’re quite large/heavy and can rub the body. You might not have that issue with the King Sling body though… That’s amazing your repair is still holding strong! 💪 The revised housings are pretty solid. Thanks for watching!
@@MonsterTruckClassics Oh, sorry. Wrong yellow part. 😅 Those are 3D printed driveshaft cages from Diaz Designs RC on Instagram and Facebook. You have to send him a DM to order a set.
What are those green tethers under the body for? I couldn’t really tell what they’re attached to but it looks like there’s 4 of them attaching the top of the truck to the axel
@@atsylor5549 Those are limit straps for the suspension. On full size trucks, they keep the shocks from pulling themselves apart due to the weight of the axles. They’re just for looks on my trucks though.
@LVC_RC I Have Heard lots of reports that the LMT breaks Parts often. I've been running my Clodbuster for 7 years and the only thing I break is the body, but no other parts. However, I suppose since the LMT moves 2 to 3 times faster than the clodbuster, that probably explains why
Thingiverse.com has some files available for the LMT. There are also a few companies that make 3D printed LMT parts like ECB 3D Printing, but I'm not sure how the quality is.
What are your thoughts on the Losi LMT? 🤔
Planning on buying one!! Great video
@@Peter-wy8hu Awesome!! 🤘 Glad you enjoyed watching.

That's great to hear! Losi did an excellent job with the LMT. 🤘😎
I’ve had the Gravedigger LMT since it was released. It is my all time favorite RC right behind my X Maxx and I’ve had a ton in the past 35 years.
Cool video, the LMT is the greatest RC in the world!
@@Big_Merica Thanks man! Gotta love the LMT. 👊😎

Glad you like it! Those are both great points, it would be cool to see them implemented in a V2 LMT. 👍
I forgot the tires should be vented with no vents in the wheel rims.
My LMT's are my favorite rc! Mini included
Side note. Spektrum electronics suck!

Where did you purchase the yellow, safety things underneath the truck?
@@MonsterTruckClassics They are limit straps from the Team KNK Hardware website. 👍
@@LVC_RC Thanks for that info, but I was thinking of what holds the drive shaft from falling to the ground. It’s yellow.
@@MonsterTruckClassics Oh, sorry. Wrong yellow part. 😅 Those are 3D printed driveshaft cages from Diaz Designs RC on Instagram and Facebook. You have to send him a DM to order a set.
@@LVC_RC Thank You!
@LVC_RC ive wanted one i just cant figure out how someone would attach it to the cradle.
Good Video. Salute LVC. Glad to subscribe 🫡🫵✨🏆🎥🏆✨
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for subscribing. 👊😄
0:53 my friend broke the axle on my losi lmt monster truck so many times😭

ive always wanted to use an lmt to make a crawler. because of the orentaion of the motor i am curious how "torque twist" would effect it...
@@jonfoster1737 That’s a cool idea! It would probably do pretty well if you swap to some lower profile axles.
The center of gravity is way too high for a crawler.
Durability-wise, how does this truck stand up against the Clodbuster?
@@OrcaBoat3 The LMT is on another level when it comes to durability. Much stronger than a Clod. 👍
@LVC_RC I Have Heard lots of reports that the LMT breaks Parts often. I've been running my Clodbuster for 7 years and the only thing I break is the body, but no other parts. However, I suppose since the LMT moves 2 to 3 times faster than the clodbuster, that probably explains why
Are there any 3D printing upgrades for this guy or a community around that?
Thingiverse.com has some files available for the LMT. There are also a few companies that make 3D printed LMT parts like ECB 3D Printing, but I'm not sure how the quality is.
Should use easy grip to get screws out
Just looked at Horizon and the gravedigger says: Discontinued?? Why does horizon stick it to consumers who purchase from them? SMH.
