Suppose to be, as for price, I didn't bother asking....don't really care what it costs as long as it works. I figure 300-400 in that range I would imagine.

As for the truck...thanks...now just have to get it running again.

That's the first BL MMT I have seen, and the first one I have heard of being described as "tough". Since I work at Hobby People, I've seen most of the problems this truck has, but usually it does seem like a tough truck (some people are just flat out retarded...). Nice job on the conversion!

What are most of the problems you are seeing? The one thing that sticks out to me as a weak link are the body posts....just killed two rear ones today...hehe. Other then that the truck made some BIG jumps and landed on everything but the wheels and zero damage except for the posts. Got any hook ups?...lol. I just ordered parts from you guys today for it as the spur gear is toast.

I've seen the rear hubs go, diffs, driveshafts, 1st spd gear (with a XTM 457, though), and servos. Being an employee there I get discounts. On your next order PM me and we'll see if something can be worked out.

Some updated pictures,new wheels and more mods.......truck has been working awesome. I will probably be shelving 2 of my emaxx's and purchasing 2 more XTM MMT's. These trucks have impressed me with how tough they are when it goes airborne at high speeds. Flips endlessly and even hit a steel light pole at about 40mph......nothing but another scratch on the body...hehe. As you can see the body has taken a beating in just a few weeks of running only speed runs. No bashing.... The almost 17" wheelbase makes this thing perfect for speed runs....

Those phaltines are a truck saver. I ran the stock tires for a while and I was able to get 63mph out of it but that was it. They would pancake so bad the truck would sway BADLY and finally just lose it.

Now with the phaltines on 8S the truck is stable. BIG difference.

I took some quick pictures of it and they aren't the best pics but at least get some out there. On the bushnell it clocked 61mph. The temps on the ESC and Neu are ice cold.

Mods are:

So far the truck has the following mods:

Trinity blue springs to lower the stance a little for high speeds.
FDM motor clamp
Neu 1521/1.5D motor
CC HV110 controller
10S( 37V) lipo's....only ran 6S last night.
Spek. DX2.0 radio







I am swapping motors to a competition Neu 1524. Its not listed on Neu's site, but they are bad motors...
