Not sure how I’m just now finding out about you being that I’ve been into rc since I was a child. But man, your reviews and tutorials are way beyond anyone else that I’ve watched. Your word economy during this review wastes no time and packs in a ton of information. Thanks!!
Well it sure is harder not to get one of these awesome rigs. I think you are exactly right. When the SMT came out it was a great looking rig but not quite there.(in my opinion) but This one? WOW..Losi did an awesome job on this rig and thanks for giving us a run down. Have a great weekend
Most impressive thing losi has came out with all year what a beast. And over 35mph on 3s is insane for a MT. Those big ass axles and links are awesome too. I only wanted one losi the 10th scale baja Rey but now I want 2 losi models lol.
Exactly, I purchased the Baja Rey Ford raptor and just love😍 that thing so much. Ran it 12 times, each run become rougher and thing would not brake. Now I NEED this monster truck!
@@surfside75 I just love trailing arm straight axle rigs, I have a bomber and gatekeeper the 10th scale baja Rey will be mine someday and I'll get the Raptor because I'm a ford guy lol.
Well I’m so glad I found you again. The last time I was into watching you is when you did the yeti XL build you put two of them together I built one just like it still have it today. I am a nearly new subscriber nice to hear you again!!!!!!
No one would answer me the durability questions I had of the SMT10, especially after my Yeti xl bad experiences..... I'm glad I waited as the Losi seems to be what I wanted
Really excellent overview 👍 Im really new so its nice to go through the steps and required parts needed, like you showed to the camera and in the description also. Amazing job 🎉
Loving the look of of this thing! Can’t wait to see your paint scheme and running video! They really hit it out of the park on the tires.. finally a chevron pattern that’s not connected by a cheap flashing ridge down the center! Thanks for sharing the awesomeness as always brother. By the way thanks a lot. I now need to add one of these to my already overgrown collection 😉
I think you should paint it like a The Undertaker theme, dude that would look sick man! The way you paint dude, Yeah man I think you could pull it off! Good luck! Man!
Another awesome video Chris. I love the channel and have to say that i think you have done amazing with regards to your health. I am a smoker and just cant seem to kick the habit (no willpower at all). You are an amazing guy and i will continue to watch your channel for as long as you keep doing what you are doing with awesome reviews and painting skills. I wish you all the best with everything and i am a massive fan from the UK
I've been looking at those Monster Trucks for a long time and I KNEW there was a good reason to wait !! And here it is ! Thanks for going over all that stuff but I missed the whole rotating box display. HAHA! Not really.
@@Firewlkre yeah but now two of these need so many hop ups to be durable enough my ten year old can bash it. I mean right out of the box the dam thing doesn’t even drive right. You can’t turn the wheel fully and the servo saver is a joke. I’ve never thought you wouldn’t be able to steer fully.
You can mount different wheels and tires, but you do need quite a large offset to make it happen. I don't think you will have a better truck, technically. I will paint the inside of my rims black to obscure them more, I really like them from an engineering point of view. Thank you for watching!
Are you the guy who was making the HemiStorm Pentabody for the Losi 5ive T? I have one in green with bullet hole and zombie stickers. Im from germany ;)
Hi Gerry! They sell it as a tenth scale, but you know how it is, everyone has a different definition of what that actually is.I believe this is a TRUE tenth scale though, where I'd classify the SMT as 12th scale. Thank you for watching!
Right on Hemi! I just preordered the kit too. Nice review btw :-) looking forward to watching along with your progress. What about doing a JConcepts Raptor body and give it that sweet MonsterJam, big wide fender, race truck stance. That’s my vote anyways! :-) Thanks man and great video!
You did not talk about the motor mounting . This will reduce torque twist. The sway bar design and the motor/transmission design comes from Keven Hetmanski and his king of crusher chassis. He suddenly stopped making this chassis after a few prototypes. Now we know why. I was bugging Keven for months as to when he would sell me this chassis. He finally told me to stop bugging him.We will all be better off though because the Losi factory can offer this awesome truck for $599. It would cost as much as $2000 to build a custom. In the end, thanks Keven.
I'm making a video to see what fits and what doesn't. I think there are plenty of available options without too much hassle. Thank you for stopping by!
He is going for the "Spektrum Firma 3150Kv" wich is part of the RTR, but then goes with the "Firma 130A Brushless Smart ESC, 2S-4S SPMXSE1130"? The RTR ESC is a "Spektrum Smart Firma 130A ESC" 2-3S Version? Thanks for your help, I want on of these so bad ;-)
Very nice Chris !!! Go ahead and send me one lol the one I built weighs over 17 lol Dirk bought me two max-amps 5450 3cell batteries diff don’t like it lol
It’s definitely one to add to the collection it’s got endless possibilities and wide open directions that you can go with a nice video brother PS can you give me some advice on a good 3-D printer you can PM me if you want take care👍😎
399.99 for a roller. WTF Horizon?! Kyosho will sell me a ready to run live axle monster truck for 439.99 nitro or electric. LMT is a non starter for me. I'm happy with my Mad Crusher GP.
Really... Really impressed with this truck. Haven't been this impressed with any releases in this hobby in a long time.
@Orion k
Coffee and HemiStorm, come on !!! Highlight of Thursday ! 👍👍 take care everyone
Thanks for the support!
I always enjoy your "unboxing" vids. Not just for the information but the humor as well.
It is so refreshing to see you back in the game Storm

That rubber insert is similar to what is on a motorcycle drive. Pretty neat to see it in an RC.
Clever engineering!
You do a video just plain talk and no BS with no fluff Which make for good information I look forward to the painted body thank-you
This truck is bomb. Can't wait to see your killer paint job for this one. Keep the vids rolling
Well I’m so glad I found you again. The last time I was into watching you is when you did the yeti XL build you put two of them together I built one just like it still have it today. I am a nearly new subscriber nice to hear you again!!!!!!

Great overview as usual, Chris! Can’t wait to see what you do with this platform. 👊
Super excited about this one, it’s very well built!
THIS IS THE 2ND VIDEO I'VE SEEN ON THIS RC. I MUST HAVE IT! THIS AND THE REDCAT LOWRIDER W/ HYDRAULICS!!! THANKYOU 4 AWESOME VIDEO MAYN!
thanks for blasting my ears... the first few silent seconds I turned up the volume of my headphones... and then BOOOM :D
Oh my... apologies!
Tumble Wumble.
Corr, triple shocks an a Bone Shaker body.
RC is so good nowadays.
Great review thanks Hemi.
Nice review! Agree with the roller & the black chassis; leaves many more body choices!
Definitely the most neutral option, and gives a good feel for what can be done to this chassis.
Original Bigfoot body style with your paint work. That’s the one.
Really excellent overview 👍 Im really new so its nice to go through the steps and required parts needed, like you showed to the camera and in the description also. Amazing job 🎉
Maaaan, what a beautiful rig you got there! Eagerly waiting to see your paintwork and bashing trip. Stay safe Chris, cheers from Spain
Hooray for Everything!!!
Hooray indeed! Always a reason to celebrate!
Looks like a solid truck. Can't wait to see what body and paint you put on this truck.
Oh No, another must have
I think the chevy colorado body you put on another vehicle would be sweet on this rig! great info!
Could be a good option, absolutely!
Always love your videos !!! as for a kick-ass body to do I think your skills painting be perfect to do Virginia Giant body!
Loving the look of of this thing! Can’t wait to see your paint scheme and running video!

By the way thanks a lot. I now need to add one of these to my already overgrown collection 😉
Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Maybe an original Big foot body from our childhoods.
That would be cool!
Harley will love it of you use the LLoyd body
And paint it orange, hahaha!
Looking forward to your color and paint scheme. Have a feeling your gonna kill it!!
Thanks for sharing!
Will try my very best!
I Have no doubts you’ll make it awesome!
Not a Monster truck guy but watched the video for support anyways and hope you make something badass out of it!
I appreciate that, Israel! I hope you are well.
@@hemistormrc thank you my friend I am doing well and I hope you are doing the same!
Wow that truck looks amazing and for a change it looks really proportional to a full size truck. Thanks for the vid 👍🤟👍
Very nice in depth video about the truck! Great job Chris! 😁
Glad you liked it, more coming up! :)
I think you should paint it like a The Undertaker theme, dude that would look sick man! The way you paint dude, Yeah man I think you could pull it off! Good luck! Man!
Awesome MT. I am really not into MT racing but this really brings my appetite up for some MT action!
Glad to hear that, it offers a nice break from other aspects of RC to go out and MT a bit. :)
It's ready for rear steering conversion aswell. Unbelievably realistic can't wait to see what bodies you come up with.
Yes indeed, I briefly touched up on that in the video. I'm not going that route, but it is cool seeing it would be an option.
Please do a vid when you drive it after its finish it looks awsome 😉
Will do! Thanks for watching!
Another awesome video Chris. I love the channel and have to say that i think you have done amazing with regards to your health.

Awesome video wicked looking chassis great unboxing like normal glad to see you back in full swing
Me too, finally back in the swing of things. And it feels great!
Maybe you can get a clear version of one of the rtr bodies like the blue one it looks like a cross between a jeep and a dodge ram.
Really looking forward to seeing this one built Chris 👌
rear steer mixing would be sweet
Great review. This is the ride for me.
Right on! Have fun with it Bill!
Looks amazing!
I fully agree. 😁👌🏼
Know where I'm spending some money! Look forward to seeing what body you use, man! Your paint and body skills are off the charts!
I appreciate that, thanks Tim!
With the SMT10 you had to throw multiple $$$ at it to make it respectable, this is already competitive, and reliable.
Nice one bro 👍😏
Oh yes! Looking forward to ep2!
I've been looking at those Monster Trucks for a long time and I KNEW there was a good reason to wait !! And here it is !
Thanks for going over all that stuff but I missed the whole rotating box display.
HAHA! Not really.
Right on! You will not be disappointed!
Hey Chris, would you say it’s a 1/10 size or bigger?
Of course this drops when I just spent 600 on two smt10 rtr for my son and I. Dam it.
You bought two fun trucks though!
Yeah and $600 bucks will only buy one of these!
@@Firewlkre yeah but now two of these need so many hop ups to be durable enough my ten year old can bash it. I mean right out of the box the dam thing doesn’t even drive right. You can’t turn the wheel fully and the servo saver is a joke. I’ve never thought you wouldn’t be able to steer fully.
Compare the axial and the losi side by side!!
Keep an eye out!
Wow, another rc that I feel I have to eventually get, it's got me 😂👌
One can never have too many!
@@hemistormrc wallet says otherwise lol
Can you change wheel tire combo video
You can mount different wheels and tires, but you do need quite a large offset to make it happen. I don't think you will have a better truck, technically. I will paint the inside of my rims black to obscure them more, I really like them from an engineering point of view. Thank you for watching!
Are you the guy who was making the HemiStorm Pentabody for the Losi 5ive T? I have one in green with bullet hole and zombie stickers. Im from germany ;)
Itching for something new ! Dang .
And right in time for Christmas!
Close to what Im looking for. For its height, It looks like the WB should be about 2" longer.
Great review, great truck !
Do you still need a reciever for the Firma stuff?, thought It was a all in one. Keep us posted. Think I need one of these !. Lol great video
That's just one model of their esc, they make a bunch of different setups but I'm curious the same thing if they used the combo esc.
Good to see you back doing reviews!! What scale is it, it does seem big, and now I need the roller kit!!
Hi Gerry! They sell it as a tenth scale, but you know how it is, everyone has a different definition of what that actually is.I believe this is a TRUE tenth scale though, where I'd classify the SMT as 12th scale. Thank you for watching!
@@hemistormrc thank you sir!

Great video as always. Very informative. I would love to see either a school bus, or a tow truck. P.s. how is it going with the not smoking?
What a great new rc~~!! Looks great~
I love it!
Love the Roller idea...If you a chance to work your magic and build a custom Hemistorm body
So many possibilities!
Are the body mounts adjustable for different style bodies?
That thing is bad ass.
👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Definitely is!
I’m sold ! Got to get one 🏁💪👌🏻
I want this in 1/5 scale, Losi please do it bigger or make A mtxl ver2
little did we know 5 months ago when this came out the axles would break quicker then the smt10 axles lol!
Top review 👍👍👍👍
Glad you liked it! Cheers John!
Would love to see a hemidigger 👍doing your own take on one
Noted! Great idea, hahaha!
@@hemistormrc if anyone can pull it off its you
I'm still holding out for Monster Mutt.
Strapping the neighbor dog to it until I find a body that fits the bill. 😎
Wow
😊👌🏼👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Man I want to try to put the proline slash VW body on it
Not a bad idea, MonsterBeetles are always cool!
Quick question sir, isn’t that ESC the same one as the Ready to Run version?
I need to buy one
It's only right, haha!
I'm still waiting on the proline metric update
Do you if you can mount a front axial on the rear to make it 4 wheel steering???
This is really interesting so I’m assuming most of your aftermarket SMT style bodies such as those from J concepts would fit on this?
I'm making a video to see what fits and what doesn't. I think there are plenty of available options without too much hassle. Thank you for stopping by!
Does it look like it will fit a 40 or a 42mm motor?
He is going for the "Spektrum Firma 3150Kv" wich is part of the RTR, but then goes with the "Firma 130A Brushless Smart ESC, 2S-4S SPMXSE1130"? The RTR ESC is a "Spektrum Smart Firma 130A ESC" 2-3S Version? Thanks for your help, I want on of these so bad ;-)
Indeed, 4s capable ESC that isn’t recommended to be used over 3S in the LMT. I hope this helps!
Very nice Chris !!! Go ahead and send me one lol the one I built weighs over 17 lol Dirk bought me two max-amps 5450 3cell batteries diff don’t like it lol
This one is pretty heavy too!
Glad i deg, ❤️
Glad i han og 💓
Glad i dere!
Is the esc plate large enough to run a spektrum 150a esc?
Very awesome video, very good vodeo. I am always waiting for your latest videos my friend
😍😍😍😍😍😍
👍💯💯💯💯
🤜🤛
Many many thanks, glad you like what I do!
I got a castle 2200kv motor and mamba monster 2 esc will that fit in the losi lmt?
It’s definitely one to add to the collection it’s got endless possibilities and wide open directions that you can go with a nice video brother PS can you give me some advice on a good 3-D printer you can PM me if you want take care👍😎
Totally agree!
300👍..yePp..dat was me!! 😁😎😊👊🤙💯!! Dat thing is fRikKeN aWeSome brO..cheeRz..
Your phone didn't ring"sad face" Ha ha
Hahaha, it will again in the future!
How much
Dig the bug
Thanks!
FPSRussia kinda sounds like you 😂 that’s cool
Haha, us guys with accents!
Soo, you prefer the SMT10, right? ;)
Hahaha, yes! ;)
Love your videos, hate the intro music lol
Kul kjerre 😍
Det synes jeg også! Losi har gjort hjemmeleksene sine.
13:53 😆
Thanks for stopping by!
Cool looking truck too bad the roller is $400 and the rtr is $600,,,,,,,OUCH !!!!!!!
Just pick up one 270
Cush gear sounds like BMW's Guibo lol
lol @13:48 🦅👍
399.99 for a roller. WTF Horizon?! Kyosho will sell me a ready to run live axle monster truck for 439.99 nitro or electric.
LMT is a non starter for me. I'm happy with my Mad Crusher GP.
