running over the guy on the least lap to take the lead, classic. reminds me of a time when i had to run my turbo optima 4wd in the 2wd class one day because of a light turn out, was placed at the back of the pack at the start. race started and i ran over 4 cars to get to turn one first, lol never looked back. that was 1987 my first rc race season
looked a little bouncy. i know the big tires probably has something to do with it. i know your trying to keep it from rolling but i bet if you lightened up on the shock oil a bit and/or maybe a tad lighter spring i bet it would be pretty planted. its fun to watch a monster truck beat buggys around the track.
6:00 This is the most lovely tires I’ve ever seen. I want the same on my Gorgon ! Can you tell me what they are please ? Big salut 🫡 from France !! ViNZ.
That was brilliant👍 Great to watch a monster truck rip around the track and TBF it handled better than some modern stuff. Ps I bet you used several tubes of tyre sauce😁👍👍👍
Nice work as always. I dunno, I reckon you could use less grip in the corners, and maybe a tire weight or two somewhere to get the COG down. ButwaddoIknow....
Looks like that monster truck has parallel steering (0% Ackerman). I notice it turns in pretty damn hard (on a loaded turn/while braking and doesn't understeer like some buggies seem to do. Unless you coast, then it seems to push a bit, but if your either on throttle or on the brakes, in just CRANKS in like a MF. Makes you wonder if modifying the knuckles on a buggy to have less Ackerman (most RCs look like they have full 100% Ackerman with the kingpin to tierod point converging a the center of the rear axle) would give you a turning advantage. Most full-scale cars run less than 100% Ackerman, especially sports and supercars(I've read a few articles of modded track day/autocross cars running between 40%-60% Ackerman). Drifters with angle kits run all the way up to parallel steering, and Formula series cars even run ANTI-Ackerman to get the most out of their tires/downforce. Just... Another thing to look into. In addition to the narrow front track and the rear motor setup with the same overall W/D as a mid-motor car idea.
As a former local RC Monster Truck 1/10 Scale Pro-Mod points race champ in the Mid-Ohio Valley, that's some awesome racing!! Way to go!!
Now this is the kind of RC racing I can get into. Anything goes!
I remember when it was losi LST monster trucks on the tracks. Still got 3 of them. Now I have 3 LMTs.
You know, running an MT in Sportsman opens up a new way to pass people - by driving over them. XD
Hahaha so fun! Imagine a whole class of MTs

do I sense a revival of the MT class?! that LMT looks good out there, even as it rolls!
Oh man, I really needed that! Freakin hilarious 🤣
Every race should just have a random monster truck on the track running laps.
😂
That was way cool to watch. Well done
Meatball is the fastest sandwich at any track!

It looked like a lot of fun.

ViNZ.
They are the stock LMT tires. I ground and sanded the tread off. Thank you!
@@mxacres oh ok !!!!!! Very nicely done 👍
This ends the long and heated debate whether two wheel cornering and popping wheelies leads to fast and stable driving. They do.
That was brilliant👍

I need to wear a back pack tire sauce sprayer with this thing.
Lol that was fun to watch

Like a true monster truck when you ran over the other RC😂

F@#k buggies bring out monster trucks... So sick
