Some Prototype Pictures of Mega Monster

[Nutech Ethan]

Here are some pics.:yahoo:

Looks great! I like that there are mounting holes in the shock towers and the arms, to increase the ride height.

Ethan, could you adjust it so that it is at MAXIMUM ride height and snap one more pic, please?

[mradlin]

Nw that's a machine I'd love to get my hands on! :yahoo:

"Look"s "WICK"D I Want one also"!!

[PSR Australia]

Very nice they will be very popular in Australia, we love MT's here:)

Just asked my colleague to adjust it!

[paintendave]

" Will there be a clear body that we can buy for the Mega Monster truck? Iam Like"n this unit a lot!

[mradlin]

Looks like some decent ride height too. :excited:

[Foxy]

Haha! He can get it higher then that! Tell him to move the upper shock mounting to the lowest hole on the shock towers, and put some spacers on the shock bodies! ;)

[RCKIWI]

Of better still Foxy! put the car on a stand the remove shocks on the arms so we can see full droop!!!!

[Vertigo Performance]

How about more shock positions on the arms? That is some serious shock angle, it should handle well for a monster!

[Foxy]

Yeh, it's gonna need swaybars, fairly light ones, just enough to lower the CG a touch for cornering. Not big heavy ones like the FG though, which ruin the articulation of the suspension.

[Rexzilla]

I like the wheels and tyres, are they compatable with the FG sqares??

Yes, it can fit FG cars.

[Foxy]

Chris, are the wheels on the TB2 exactly the same offset as the TB1 wheels? If so, then in order to put them on an FG, you need much fatter squares, as the axles are a bit longer on the FGs, due to the fact that the FG monster wheels have a much greater offset. When I put the TB1 wheels on my FG MT, I found that when I had wound the nut down all the way to the bottom of the thread, it still hadn't gripped the rim. Hence the need for fatter wheel squares, or shorter axles. I'll try the TB2 wheels tonight on the FG and confirm.

look:excited:, injection test of the MT suspension arm

[mradlin]

Looks good from here, How's it looking in person?

[Foxy]

Mmmmm,they look...black...and, er... plasticky. Good job! ;) LOL

[NUTECH RACING]

Will test the suspension arm this week:D

[NUTECH RACING]

Plastic molds are done, after testing will polish the mold :cool:

Looks really good! Will there be options for metal roll cages?

[NUTECH RACING]

Half metal roll cage is available.

"Looking Good" So maybe Soon they will be out?

[bens_rc]

Love the black rims, will be interesting the colour scheme of the shell with black wheels

[bens_rc]

the only problem with the roll cage is the spark plug is higher than it and rolling without the shell will break every time:(

[NUTECH RACING]

"Looking Good" So maybe Soon they will be out?

Hopefully, the sample can be available around beginning of August. :D

[Vertigo Performance]

The rule of thumb is don't drive with the body off.. We all know it is asking for big trouble LOL!

True:) but sort of defeats the purpose of a roll cage

[NUTECH RACING]

Come on, do you like to run without body ? :D:excited:

[Foxy]

I'm still trying to think of a better name for this model...

Here're some ideas...

Excavator
MTX5
Rockhopper
Infiltrator
Komodo (as in dragon)
Crusher
Razer (as in the verb I raze, meaning burn to the ground)

Personally I like Rockhopper and Razer, but open to other suggestions...

[Foxy]

Ooooh, how about Devastator...?

[bens_rc]

Come on, do you like to run without body ? :D:excited:

No, only when tuning.
What I was trying to say is that the rollcage is more for looks than to protect everything, so there isn't much use for a complete alloy rollcage except for looks :cool:

[PSR Australia]

Plastic molds are done, after testing will polish the mold :cool:
Ah mold polishing, one of things i do not miss about being a toolmaker years ago:D

[bens_rc]

a good job for the apprentice :)

[Nutech Ethan]

the first sample of the body for MT

[PSR Australia]

Looks very good:dance:

[bens_rc]

Looks good, can't wait to see what it looks like on the chassis

[paintendave]

"right on"

[RCKIWI]

looks awesome:D +1 to see on the chassis!

[RCKIWI]

Wow that looks very cool:D alot lower body than other brand MT's, maybe needs a nice polished alloy rear rollbar to cover engine now:dance:

[bentley marshall]

great looking truck !!!

[stevo1969]

Looks great, how about adding some easy to peel off stickers on the motor, I got a TBII last week and it took me 4 beers to get them off and clean the covers LOL

[mradlin]

I'm sure the 4 beers made it fun! LOL

[NUTECH RACING]

Mega Monter pre-production sample will be ready soon!
