Breaker 1-9
08-11-2006, 08:42 AM
First off i just wanna let you in on what a "REAL" "MONSTER TRUCK" is so you don't get confused from whats out there on the market. A "REAL" monster truck is a modified "SOLID AXLE" or "STRAIGHT AXLE" truck, NOT something like a Traxxas T-Maxx or HPI Savage, those type of trucks or other known as truggies are trucks with an "INDEPENDENT" suspension, NOT a solid straight axle like what a real Monster Truck is. That is just what i first off wanted to clear off due to alot of people out there looking at T-Maxx's and Savage's as Monster Trucks as well. With all that said, My BEST pick of the BEST R/C Monster Truck would have to be a Modified Tamiya Clodbuster, TXT-1, Juggernaut, even a TLT, and even there new soon to be released High-Lift. Why? simply cause the first few are what a basic real monster truck platform is to be and the last few i mentioned would be simply cause you could modify or make/turn into a real monster truck by adding bigger wheels and tires. All time best to me? Tamiya Clodbuster, of course modified.

Breaker 1-9 why do you want to start a fight so soon? But anyway I do agree with you on the RMTs. I would call the others STMT or MSTT but not truggys. Truggys are bult on a buggy type chassis those are not.

NOT starting a fight one bit, nor did i mean to if that is what i did here, i just simply wanted to highlight a "REAL" monster truck from a regularly scene and most popular truck like a Savage or T-Maxx that one would see on the market or listed/advertise as a monster truck, thats all.

I really love the monster gt 4.60 i mean it amazingly durable, fairly good price, super easy to fix, and cheap for replacement parts, has the best transmission, radio is good enough but a upgrade to a synth controller like the LST2 is a good idea. Servos are all good. Makes a good racer to with a few hop ups. Fairly light. Everything i love. Just top end could be better, but will a new clutch bell should help, and a new engine to, and it is a amazing truck. The new aftershock well. Hmm i hate the LST seems difficult to remove things but it has a decent radio, i mean its a LST basically. ANd its very cheap. But still preffer the MGT no matter what.

Well to get picky and to keep it REAl it needs to have an engine. So the electrics you mention fall out of the REAL MT segment. I yet have seen a full size electric powered MT. :)

Best monster truck in which way? for racing?....rock crawling?......back yard bashing? IMO TAMIYA TNX or REVO 3.3 both excellent in all aspects. They will take on any big block including LST2 any day. My $0.02

gotta remember, you can have the worlds fastest truck, but if you cant control it, so... yah, i like the revo, and the new lst2 is pretty sweet from what ive seen, i love my savage x, that thing is a tank among tanks, i wouldnt race it...but as a basher and just a overall truck, its awesome.

Damn Right!!!, see he knows what he's talk'n bout. A down to earth good ol straight axle "real like" monster truck. It really doesn't surprise me though with this board being filled with truggy lovers and ALOT or close to ALL members here recommending or agreeing on a some type of truggy on the market as being the best monster truck. Oh well's. For me it's simple. if it doesn't defind a monster truck or has the same type of characteristics as a real monster truck, being a real monster truck is solid straight axle trucks, then i am honestly most likely not gonna go with the crowd or even go near picking something like doesn't come near to being a monster truck. I also know that i may soon have truggy fans flaming on this one or even me on my opinions and facts stated in this thread.

Ok the only true straight axel monster truck I have seen would be the Mad Force http://www.kyoshoamerica.com/carsandtrucks/monstertrucks/31223.asp
Though I have a Savage LE which is rather durable stock and the shear number of aftermarket hop ups for the Savage is what won me....
Savage all the way!!!!!!
I believe the most scale axle that could be outfited would be a TXT or Jugg's, quite stupid to mention a Mad Force or even a Twin Force axle for the matter when those are just plan unscale and pretty much like plastic pipes with steering knuckles on the each end, it doesn't even have a scale or real like pumkin on em either. But hey, again, this is the ONLY "true" "straight axle" monster truck you've seen, may you must not get out much or discover other sides or different rides of the hobby or haven't really been exposed to a real scale R/C monster truck, needless to say it's no wonder why you and many others go the truggy route. :rolleyes:

Wow Breaker 1-9 I would first like to say you must be veeeerrrrrrryyyyyyyy old school. I mean a Clod Buster??? Most of the trucks mentioned do not compare. The Clod Buster in its day was a great truck with 2 electric motors but up against a nitro truck??? no chance!! I have been in the game for 15 years and have yet to see an electric truck from back in the day hang with a nitro truck of today??? Its just not possible. technology of today is far more advanced. I own 2 savage LEs and they are true monster trucks. Solid axles and all as if that has anything to do with being a true monster truck??? Also there is a lot more to being a true monster than just the axles ( do your homework) The Savage does fall in the category of being a true Monster truck, It is just from a different era and cannot be compared to the Clodbuster. Elec./ Nitro???? come on...................

Old school i am and running still with the old school style and flare and running with em nitros too side by side, dual brushless systems can make a clod sometimes smoke a nitro, use JPS's dual motor gearcase to hold 2 cans per axle and pop 4 brushless motors in there and use some li-po's and it'd might even blow the balloons off the rims. It's not how old school the truck/car/buggy is, it's how new school the technology is thats running it to put it on top of anyone elses game. ;)

Well I would have to say, Id like to see that in person!!! Your story is ok but seeing is believing!!! There are many mods that can be done to a Nitro of today that OLD SCHOOL trucks cant handle!!!! I have a video camera to display proof, do you??? BUT no one is foolish enough to bring such pain to themselves to be recorded. I was at the track today and only one electric truck was running and it was ONLY because his NITRO broke off a jump. :D

Any r/c with two solid axles is a monster truck. I'll even say any r/c with at least one solid axle is a monster truck. Any r/c with 4 wheel indi suspension is not a monster truck end of story. Its as simple as that.
How does a t-maxx or any of its predecessors even remotely resemble a monster truck? We are not saying that it has to be an exact replica of a monster truck to be labeled as one but come on these 4 wheel indi suspension jobbers aren't even in the same ball park! So you people are saying that if an r/c is not somewhat "scale" it can be called anything. Which means I can take an on-road car and put slightly larger tires on it and call it a monster truck! Now if anybody says to me that its not a monster truck I’ll say… pffft its not scale. :rolleyes:
Don't be sheep and call these indi things monster trucks because thats what there marketed as. Which is just for marketing purposes because they are trying to cater to younger kids that it will work on. No offense but i'll bet alot of you are youngins and thats why its hard to comprehend. :) For the non youngins you should know better.

Your not going to get a straight answer. Its all peoples opinions. And mainly whatever truck people own is what they say is the best. My opinion lst2 but that doesn't mean the revo or savage are bad trucks. Some people like breaker like old school rock crawlin trucks. It depends what you want to use the truck for adn your price range.
just what i think...

A tmaxx is "considered" a monster truck... If the only monstre trucks were solid axle trucks...we wouldnt be posting in this forum. This forum would be called..something else. To most people, tmaxx savage lst2, mgt, etc. are monster trucks, and solid axle trucks are just more "realistic" monster trucks.

LOWGEAR, Jock and few others here are like the only people who really knows what a monster trucks is i guess. Cause marketing is labeling them as a monster truck, it doesn't make em anywhere near being a monster truck and you folks who think they really are "considered" monster trucks or just down right look at them as being monster trucks should get out into the real world more or maybe even visit a monster jam or something.

Yeah, and if I spent $50,000 on a dual blown and turbo-ed motor for my Ford Ranger, I MIGHT be able to blow my tires off the rims, and beat your Tamiya, maybe. Quad brushless with four lipo on a Clot Burster? You're hilarious.

Look this is for Breaker 1-9 (if you man enough to stay with us) and LOWGEAR80.
I would seriously like one of you to show us Newbie Monster truckers a link that states what makes a monster truck and what doesnt???? My opinion is Big Tires, a motor to move the vehicle and a suspension to handle it all. If thats not what makes a monster truck what is???

then another questions would be posed is, "how big is the tire to qualify for a MT" what is considered the suspension to handle it? I can go grab a dinky monster truck at walmart with little half inch tires and call it a monster truck also....or I can grab those diamond swayvill tires and call them monster truck also......

MT's of today are classified that way for racing purposes(for the most part). Savage, T-Maxx, LST and MGT are all independent suspension MONSTER TRUCKS that race in the MONSTER TRUCK class. I would love to see a clod or other so called "REAL" MTs keep up with one of those on the track. These are NOT true scale vehicles, so the MT debate is futile. They are marketed as MTs, not Truggies, and if you don't know the difference perhaps you should take a trip to your local track and figure it out. That's my .02. They are what they are, as defined by the people who enjoy this hobby.

Don't get me wrong, I think the purists who still have their Lunchboxes, Pumpkins, Clods etc... have done alot to push our hobby forward and deserve the respect for helping out the new guys. However, when you close your mind and say "a monster truck is this, and that's the end of it", you have just lost out on what is great about our hobby, PROGRESS! I say take advantage of it, get something new or break out your old Midnight pumpkin, Traxxas Hawk or whatever and run it!! Prove to the young guys that being at the track, or bashing in a local feild and meeting new people that this is what our hobby is about, not sitting at a computer trashing what is new and unfamiliar.
Sorry for the rant, but this one just got my goat, and BTW, I'm not a kid as someone else brought up, I'm 34.

My midnight pumpkin is a blast but just not too fast it will do bout 25mph or so the way i have it set up. been playing with these things since i was a kid and they first came out. I'm 41 years old and have gotten many other people into this sport. ok i'm not trying to get into the independent suspension solid axle fight. with that said i do have to say there was one R.C. monster truck that did have independent :eek: suspension. Anyone rememder the tamiya brat lol :p
OH YA THANX KILLERUSH I LIKE IT :D

i dont think i could buy something like that at my LHS right? that i agree is a monster truck.... and a nice one at that.
:eek:QSL,
HOLY SHMOLY, you seriously have some of the baddest RCs on the planet. Will you be my friend :p
Thanks guys, I appreciate all the kind comments, heres a shot with a couple other trucks I have and my 10yr old daughter. The one painted Ivan stewart style has a 42cc engine with reverse in it too :)
I bought these trucks at my local walmart :p

WalMart :eek: , you have got to be kidding me. How much if you dont mind me asking.
They are awesome. I love your site, very nice.
No, I did not get them at walmart. I was just joking :). There were companies that made them. They were really expensive so not to many were ever sold. They are super hard to find since not many were made and people that have them sure dont like to sell them. New they sold for $2500-$4500 and they have held their value being used.

juggys are made by tamiya short for juggernaut....muggys are a different breed of vehicle along with tuggys....you just dont know it...look them up on the net you will see....tuggys and muggys perform better than truggys in everyway.
Tuggys, Muggys, Juggys, what else are they going to come out with, Buggys hah, lol.
Seriously, what the heck is a Tuggy, I have seen Team Losi Muggy.
