Your controller has a third channel button on the right lower portion of the handle that I used for rear steer and in the bag of goodies there should be a mount for the rear steer servo but make sure to get a brushless system and metal gears for the transmission and metal driveshafts , just trying to be helpful .
THanks dude :)
Mm

When are fish the monster truck what tries
The offset rear differential is very real. Most heavy duty off-road trucks have this; makes it get hung up less often and has better torque transfer through mechanical advantage.
The MT that is actually a crawler...
We have one!
Put a brushless setup in it, lock the diffs, and all of a sudden it is MUCH more fun.
Oh, and you are going to shred the trans gears and driveshafts.
That's still a good looking truck. Maybe when you come to the US you can get Dennis Anderson to sign it for ya.
He’s retired tho
His kids drive it now like Adam Andersen
Thats stupid
Stop procrastinating!! Build the monster truck!!
I own a monster truck
@@mitchtulachka5829 so?
@@mitchtulachka5829 no one cares
forbidden pollo chill out dude he just said he has a monster truck
@@mitchtulachka5829 hell yeah geter done
Definitely a cool truck! Needs locked diffs and brushless though!
Brushless would becool
I love my Grave Digger, fully upgraded to aluminum axles with locked diffs, aluminum gear box with steel gears, aluminum upper and lower links, steel drive shafts and 3 s brushless combo with aluminum rims! Looks epic and drives well and durable! Very cool Truck!👌👌👌
This sounds like something out of an old horror movie 9:25
i knowww
The differential is more on one side because it is used to counter the torque from the shaft? Else it might lift one wheel up easier.
Its just the axle design for ground clearance. Its the same on their ar44 axle.
Well, this is the classic axial ar60 axle wich was used on the rock racer wraith and they just kept this axle because it is just good.
@@abelvelazco5450 Not exactly, the ar44 had a centered differential
@@eliasschmidt4112 my mistake, thanks for the correction.
lee guankiat It’s actually called an OCP (off-center pumpkin) design because it allows for higher ground clearance due to the differential being closer to the wheel
Enjoying all these vids! Thank you from Mass, USA! Just bought a Traxxas Slash XL-5 2WD Rock N Roll body design! Can't wait to SEND IT after the weekend heatwave ends. Haha. Keep up the videos! Makes me feel like a 32 year old kid! 😂 Nice GRAVE DIGGER. Monster Jam event happened a few weeks ago here. 😁 You should get Traxxas's Bigfoot #1 or 2 and have a Monster Jam bash!!! 😂😂😂
You HAVE to lock those riffs and make it brushless! I think you'd have a beast on your hands then! Great video as always dude! Thanks.
Looks abolute Epic. The slow mos on the Workshop just EPIC! Can't wait so see you mods on it.
It's because they used the same axle for the Smt10 and the wraith, the ar60. For a wraith it's better to have them off to the side than in the center
8:46 is when he finally shuts up and drives the damn thing
YOU ARE MY FAVOURITE UA-camR EVER 😱😱WISH I Could Come to your workshop 👍👍👌🤘🤝🤛
Europe?
saw the real life Grave Digger several times- couple times back in the late 80s when he first debuted and then also a couple times in mid 2000s. in the early days GD was notorious for breaking down at events but nobody cared cuz he's the coolest. sweet looking rig you've got tho!
I was playing some of your old videos and ran across one that had you taking some burned out motors to make one good one for your XMaxx. Look up RC Vitals on UA-cam. He made a video of a guy that "timed" a brushless non-sensored motor to get the most out of it. You may want to see what kind of playing you can do with that on your RC quest for more performance. It was very informative and showed that even brand new motors come from the factory needing help. Let me know what you think and maybe we will see you or Pat showing us other videos of this hop-up how-to.
It actually handles like a monster truck I love it
Press 9:17 repeatedly and u get a nice beat LOL... Great Video as usual, Kev! That monster truck looks SICK! Definitely is fast for a crawler though!
Cant wait for the X0-1 Video. Have a good one, Kev!
No, the monster truck you are building MAKE IT RC
that would be amazing
That’s the best idea I have ever heard
they do make aftermarket Centered axle housings i bought one for my axial yeti score trophy truck
I know this was a while ago, but I think you should buy all the different RC versions of the grave diggers and compare them. As in this one, the traxxas one and I believe losi makes one too.
Great vid 👍❤👍❤👍❤👍 I'm sad I didn't win the competition but congratulations to the people who did 👍👍👍👍👍
Just casually has a Hurucan Performante in the garage
Needs
MOOOOOW POWER BABY!!
You coming from donut media
idea, take this, mod the 4stroke engine on it, and the bottom thinner, 3d model pumpkins, print em out, get em made from metal, and boom done its fully scale
the offset pumpkin is a crawler thing for clearance. They just carried their solid axle over from their rock racer. You can always put another set of scale axles under it.
Man the slowmo was bad ass.
BKT is an Indian company, proud of this
Really great rig!! Do the mods please. 4-wheel steering, brushless and move the shocks. Cool. Thanks for the video.
Anything to your rc monster truck is a jump that’s amazing
Kev you can buy a cheaper grave digger body to use so you can save the kit one for shelf.
Also the axles are that way because they are the axles used on the wraith, would have cost a lot to make bespoke ones just for this model, axial share parts across models in a similar fashion to traxxas. have fun!
Also the diff lock for the wraith ect will fit this in a similar way you can use the diffs from this on a wraith if you want it to turn a bit better. try just locking the rear diff, locked front makes for more rollovers
and by moving a plug on the esc you should be able to turn off the drag brake, its like a hw 1060 esc, also try gearing it up on the std set up before brushless, it makes things explode
I have a box of parts ive been ordering for my smt10 n probably will have some build videos on it soon, u definitely wanna up the power in urs the stock is just to slow to have any fun with
yeh man way too slow
Whats up Kev. Trust me you will love the axail.
looking forward to this build and upgrade, mamba max brushless, steel gear transmission and hardened diff gears and beef tubes, and better driveshafts, this will be epic!!!
9:53 this could also be a great rock crawler
I got a new brake Grave Digger in for Christmas and my dad put a pair of Lego lights in where the sticker lights are and put a battery pack in the back so you can turn it on and off
I had a gravedigger rc when i was younger and it was built a lot better than the one you have, the only issues i had was the brushed motors kept burning up and the brushless motors were like $300-$400 and i couldn't afford that at the time. And i just looked it up, the one i had(and you can still buy) is by losi
Offsetting the diff pumpkin increases the center axle clearance , or you would have to go portal axle to get more..
Cant wait for the video of you bashing it offroad
I've been watching you for awhile but I just started playing with RC cars since my old one broke a long time ago
Marie Hill same I ordered a cheap rc car got tired of waiting for it and order a traxxas that will come sooner so by the time I start again I'll have a traxxas slash brushless 4x4 and an adventure force rock runner
That diff being off center is a result of cost savings measures. Those axles are the same as on a Wraith. To produce new ones just to move the pumpkin to the center would raise the cost significantly.
I was curious what it was on the livestream, and now video of it appears. Nice. :)
Wraith, smt10, ax10 pretty much all use same setup apart from the chassis with the exception of the open diff.. I'd still love one of these though but with a son of a digga or metal mulisha body 👌👌
Клёво, смотрел бы вечность. Так продолжать.
Kevin: let’s crack it open (takes out a knife)
UA-cam: dimonitised (I don’t know how to spell it)
You spell it demonitised :)
It's a axial bomber/ wraith/ yeti rear axle the company's that sell centered diff axles
I don’t know if you’ve done this race yet but I just watched another guy take an x01 out for first ride. First he said you have to download a setup to get the 100mph second he couldn’t hardly control it without the setup and got it running 68mph and last the thing pulled so much amperage it started to melt one of the power wire leads running two 3s packs.
I´ll be very interested to see this truck with locked diffs and more wheel-speed.
It´ll be very authentic by then - I can picture it steaming up to a tabletop jump and clearing the whole thing in one glorious leap : )
I believe the off set diffs are to help with chassis twist
I Love Monster Trucks Kev, I have just got myself a REDCAT GROUNDPOUNDER it has rear steer.
Not surprised it’s that set up being an Axial. Others already commented on the different models it’s based off of. Looking forward to you actually turning it into a MT!
Pat in the back xo1
That looks sick without the shell on,id leave it like that. As for the axles,im sure u will have some center diffs laying about in the workshop.awesome truck tho fair play.🤘👍
I've built and modded several of these trucks, most recently i had a custom chassis made to replicate Grave Digger #7. Axial is now re-releasing this through Horizon Hobby with a host of improvements and a much lower price point! However, i still love my Clodbusters much more. :D
I now have two lipos for Paddlesworth instead of 1 nimh battery!! Can't wait for the event.
It’s about time you got a scale monster truck. We have the same one and love it.
You should’ve played the bad to the bone song when you do the montage

Cant wait to see the transformation 👍👍
I have a axial yeti score, same axles back on that. And it also came with low gearing. 23km/h out of box with 2s lipo. So gear up and change motor
Honestly, the SMT10 was just a marketing idea for Monster Jam. Axial just used parts from exitsing trucks and slapped it together. It looks good but its not a good solid axle MT. The Redcat Ground Pounder or Cen Racing HL150 are wayy better trucks in my opinion. (I've had the SMT10, now an HL150 and its night and day between the trucks) Plus, since the SMT was discontinued, you can't get parts anymore.
The diffs are off to the side to help stop torque steer. Great videos by the way!!!
The SMT with a brushless setup is an absolute MONSTER! (See what I did there??) Lol Great video as always
the offset diff is designed like that so that it won't get high centered going over rocks
There's a cool rig ☝️. word is they're going to release the smt10 again very soon. It will be interesting to see what body they choose 🤔
I put 8”x4” tires on and this truck handles great with rear steering and do more of the tricks like moon walk .the plastic gears and gearbox is the only down fall for this Awesome monster truck.
From being an owner, u need wheel wideners for the front, u should buy aluminum driveshafts, and u need a faster motor for better bashing.
Jconcepts makes some super scale looking monster truck wheels and tires that look really good on the smt10.
Dam. Thats a good show! Nice one. You made the truck look outstanding!
Hey kevin could you do a review of the traxxas grave digger 1/10 it’s hard to find and it’s pretty fun
That looks fun for making a small monster truck course.
Funny you said that it drives like a crawler. I noticed that the diffs, linkage and shock angles reminded me of the WLToys Bridge Crawler. Hmm...
Looks like a fun machine. It is interesting some of the "scale" setup it has, but modifying and upgrading is some of the fun in the hobby. Can't wait to see the xo1 since watched the tire swapping.
Nice review Kev. Definitely more of a crawler..
We can mod it :) Needs an overkill body too!
@@KevinTalbotTV haha absolutely..
By the way what is your next step for your monster truck? And are you moving to a shop with a bigger door? That one doesn't look big enough for a monster truck once completed. That would be bad to get it done and not fit going out lol. Enjoy life!
Kev, for a basher shell get a Traxxas 30 year edition shell - pre painted - comes with lights etc.
Ive got a 30 year edition Traxxas grave digger with a very scale metal roll cage purpose fit. Bloody heavy tho with the cage init - it modded tho - over 80kph - on the speed gun. 😂
Do a review on the Dromeda short course truck all seem dirty cheap to you because it’s $100 but it’s not dirt cheap for us it’s expensive for us and it’s really durable don’t think I can break it is water I have one I put on some jumps I wouldn’t break
Brushless for sure👍👍
Had one of these , it is very slow and needs a lot of upgrades to get it going at any decent speed, seen loads of people blowing these up by adding faster motor , so went back to Xmaxx. Parts are a nightmare too but good luck Kev.
I like the roll cage
Your killing it with your uploads lately Kev!
You could program that Tactic remote for rear steering. The push buttons on the handle are channel 3.
nice, didnt know that!
@@KevinTalbotTV If you pull the throttle forward,turn the steering right and then switch on the controller the light will be off. Then you can use the buttons to adjust the end point of each control also. To adjust EXP once you have it in program mode pull the throttle or brake and at the same time push the up or down button the light will blink each time you push the button.
Come on Kevin please don't ignore a fellow subscriber.
Your the best Kevin keep up the amazing work and I love your videos
Watched your live stream the other day. Good job on finally fixing the Xmax.
Also when are you ever going to get yourself a rally car?
You can get axles that move the axle pumpkin to the middle. Welcome to the ranks of solid axle monster trucks . The axial is a great blank canvas. Like the real ones get ready to drop some serious cash to make that baby into a promod race truck. Gotta say it best RC monster truck in the world is the tamiya clod buster. Original and still king. 😁😎👊👍
Kev I think you need a Primal rc Raminator monster truck in your garage..80lbs of metal madness it seems almost as big as your MT chassis..
yeh i would love one
Make it 4s capable because I've seen people run it on 4s before if you look it up on UA-cam search you will probably find it
I x FCC
You are a great person to me your life and I love that you’re going through it and 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Q to
The reason the axle pumpkins are off to the side is because it uses wraith axles, and the wraith has off centered diffs
Dennis Andersen is the legend of the og grave digger
Ok im not a big RC monster truck fan, but this one's detail is insane! Pretty cool.
it does jump fairly realistically. moving the shocks might prove difficult because of the cantilever arms on the back
Put an axial spool in the rear and thick oil in the front for a posi in the front.
those axles are the ar60 axles that are in a lot of their rock racers so it would have costed them more to make the center diff ones. plus they already had those axles
Is it possible you're supposed to feed the battery connector first, then connect it, then slide the battery in last? Speaking of which, I think it would jump better with weight bias to the rear...maybe sliding the battery back a bit would make that happen. A big yes for rear-wheel steering. If you're going pro, you'll need to pratice ;)
do a video of mods on it like rear steering closed diffs and a business motor
Next video: Axial SMT10 80mph 6s Mamba X Build!
Kev they used the axles and suspension from their other trucks. The main thing they made new was the chassis everything else was parts bin
You can buy locked diffs for the Smt10. I have locked diffs on my axial bomber.
The reason the pumpkin is off to the side is because they were reusing their standard ar60 axle that they use for all solid axle vehicle.
