Monster Truck!

[tedo]

Racing truggy is fun, however I was missing bashing with a Monster Truck, so I picked this up.

It's a Redcat Groundpounder. It is fairly new, only 10 months old or so, and is super scale to real MTs. What's nice is it has a fully adjustable 4-Link set-up, with solid front and rear axles. I have owned MTs before: Lunchbox, Stampede, T-Maxx, LST2, Revo... And I have to say, this thing gave me wood!

Similar to Clod set-ups it has 4-wheel steering, which rules. This is very similar to Clods and TXT's however this thing only weighs 10lbs with battery.

Here's the specs:
When I bought it used on RCU
-Aluminum shock mounts (Crawford)
-Low profile motor mount (Crawford)
-HR air shocks (I added a bit of shock oil though)
-Jumbomaxx tires with RC4WD tractor pull tires (basically pillows)
-Aluminum driveshafts (Crawford)
-That bad-ass vintage GD body.

I did:
-VXL System (usually can't stand trx, but it was cheap and waterproof, and it's a basher)
-Tad brace mod (securing the transmission so there is no flex to strip spurs)
-Mod .1 - 11T Pinion / Spur
-Reversed electronics tray
-8000 2s lipos

I am 3 packs in, and it is freeking amazing! It only goes about 30mph, but I am sure it is because of those huge tires, 11T pinion, and real old crappy maxamps batteries. However, it can pull wheelies at mid throttle. I dialed down the steering throw, because I love the 4-wheel steering. It actually flies very straight and balanced.

Sorry for the poor pics, I was trying take photos and drive at the same time. Love to hear what you guys think.
