These rtr’s just keep getting cooler and cooler

[@ShabbernigdoXingjian]

i miss kits.

[@Beanflip]

A lot of reviews out but yours is the one I looked forward to. Y’all are the solid axle experts IMO.

[@terryhatcher5808]

Losi LMT is on the top of my list, I have over 30Rc’s and with five of them being monster’s! LMT is most definitely the top dawg in my herd.

[@franku211rc]

Can't wait for alllll the hop-ups!

[@ctpreddog1411]

When I came across and saw this truck appear on KZbin more than once I knew it was matter of just a very short time that you guys would get your hands on it. I'm glad it looks like it's going to working well for your guys's style of monster trucks and possibly looking forward to getting one myself. 👍😎

[@urbanlegendmotorsports]

That truck is nice. From what it sounds like, they are race track ready/Trigger King approved,lol...

[@TriggerKingRC]

This is track ready!

[@booggieman2u]

Well that seals it for me if you guys a triggerkings love it it's a done deal

[@robertb.4202]

I definitely want one down the road. I would definitely have to add 4WS.

[@Riki-eu1zt]

Love this channel, keep up the good work. Building my first LMT roller already want another

[@SolRC]

I haven't been this excited about an RTR in a whilee. Thanks for sharing.

[@Dypsomaniart]

First new truck i have been excited about in a long time. I want one

[@tjenkins1126]

I trust you're guys review knowing there's a TON of custom rigs that race Trigger King. Was waiting for whatever new release was coming before buying my next rig, and this will be it based on this (and Tony @CCxRC) reviews. Have a Rock Rey and am a huge fan!! Good job Losi/Horizon!! I'll be keeping my Smt10 as a Sport Mod, then getting this as a Pro Mod, and eventually a Clod for Retro. Side question, where do the Cen 150s fit into TR classes? Guessing Sport Mod with a 17t motor or pro Mod with brushless. But is there a way to have one be Retro? Thanks for the content!! 🍻👍👊

[@ryurc3033]

Been watching these for a year. The price is only going up, but an smt kit was cheap a f the other day for a reason. Axial will do something with ryft axles soon I'm sure

[@LVC_RC]

Don’t mind me as I replay that slide at 1:43 like 50 times. 😜

[@nate0765]

Looks like the real deal!

[@cnnlt200]

Finally a good solid axle mt. Im sold

[@lonncraw9263]

Gonna need the Bigfoot body for it. Looks like a really nice platform.

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

That's exactly what I was thinking! I'm going to get a couple of the Roller chassis's and one might be used just so that I can take the axles from it. I remember last night on a livestream with a couple of guys from Losi saying that eventually be able to get the axles separately.

[@nate0765]

This truck looks fantastic, I like the transmission and center diff, 1 cover each to access the internals. Very adjustable and seems super stable. Definitely picking one up.

[@TheDandy1122]

Would you sell me this used rc truck for my sons bday? I cant afford a new one and my boy loves monster trucks. I can pay for shipping. Let me know sir?

[@bigandcoolrcschool294]

Not gonna lie, I'm going to have to pre-order this! ;) give yourself a pat on the back for the video quality! it was so good, I subbed!

[@NikkiNexo777]

FINALLY! A company finally got a solid axle monster truck right. 1/8 drivetrain with 17mm hexes and wheels. This truck literally needs no upgrades, and the CUSH drive on the transmission. SOLD! 3150kv is the perfect amount of power for this truck.

[@RingwraithRob]

Loving the look of this, I'm gonna be saving hard that's for sure. Thanks for the review 👍

[@legendaryexplorer8119]

Imma wait a few years until the price goes down a bit before i actually get it. $600 is wayyyyy too high for me

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

It's definitely cheaper than a modified Clod and probably a modified Shafty truck.

[@leetjohnson]

It won't come down THAT much.

[@nathanmccloskey6946]

It’ll go up in price or be discontinued.

[@TheWright1]

No need to upgrade this one

[@KMakoENVtuber]

This thing does what I wished the original Axial monster truck would

[@eskimojoe6564]

These are pretty sweet I want one but $600’is steep

[@stephanez8036]

very nice review ! this truck is great ! good job !

[@HYBECTIVE]

This is beautiful, I got a traxxas stampede as my first RC, but I’ve been wanting to upgrade to a scale monster truck RC, this may be the one

[@coreystack5655]

Is this a limited realese or will they be around in 2 years.

[@TriggerKingRC]

This is not a limited release. Of course, who knows what happens in two years but I would guess this truck stays in production for a very long time.

[@Triggered-RC]

Waiting for mine!!!! Ordered Son of Digger. BTW: I built a completely locked dif Monster Truck: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaiUnmeerryihs0

[@leesamuelson]

I think these would be a good spec class truck

[@TriggerKingRC]

we think so too, stay tuned :)

[@leesamuelson]

@@TriggerKingRC with a spec class by using the ESC and motor of kit and 2s battery then it comes down to tuning and driving not who has the bigger motor or ESC or what ever. Now with the Roller if a person was to run the same esc and motor( not same spec but SAME ie spectrum) then one can run the black frames and use different bodies but still same spec other wise. Not sure if you will spec out servo too. but having a truck where chassis and shocks and suspension and electronics are basically the same then close racing would be had. in the over all scheme would also give alot of bang for the buck with this truck. I do not see the need for a ton of wrenching with the 2S spec

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

Yep, they could be in a class all by themselves cause I'm sure quite a few guys will have these.

[@fruitycoconut]

Damn if only it was released 2 years ago before I threw so much money into my trash solid axle MT which breaks on every single ahah ! Just ordered one ! Cant wait for aftermaket hopups

[@baymobbrcclub7426]

I heard the body needs re-inforced bcuz the rear back sides tend to fold ,i just ordered 1,so ill see how it holds up,im glad to see losi came out with this truck,love losi,i have losi truggys both nitro&brushless,they make good products.

[@LawrenceTimme]

I've been debating selling my smt10 and getting a kyosho mad crusher and a 4 link kit instead, but this looks great!

[@TwoBlackMarks]

Maybe I can use these wheels on my Mad Force/FOXX, wonder how it compares to a Mad Force.

[@RTmadnesstoo]

If you want to see how the axles break go watch CCxRC and his buddies tear a couple of them up. You handled that jump and landing correctly once at about 12:14.

[@smitheshn6637]

Great video and Awesome truck

[@michaelhall0305]

Hi! i have been a Monster Jam fan since i was 4 and i cant really afford this truck tho. should i use almost all of my allowance for this. I am the biggest Monster Jam fan!

[@chucksmith155]

I love mine I have no complaints at all it’s a screamer , I’ve used a 3cell but like the 2s a lot better I’m hoping someone comes up with a lot of hop ups I will trick this monster out

[@globyboulga1045]

Wow. Now thats just perfect.

[@boldrbangr9834]

Best review yet! I'm normally not a MT guy, but this thing is cool. Going to have a hard time not picking one up 😜

[@jaybyrd1935]

Props to the camera person river took this video really cool flow motion jump that was amazing his truck is very cool nice video

[@DaveyGa]

Runs great BUT those oversize inner beads ruin the otherwise scale look.

[@pinfarmer]

I swear I could see the axels breaking from the thumbnail.

[@xtraflyr]

Losi is simply the best. Great development team. Not all hodge podge together from other platforms.

[@charlestischman448]

Just ordered mine, waiting for it to arrive !! I can't wait to thrash with it !

[@johnpeter1917]

I think the chassis plates are stamped not machined. It’d be a very expensive truck if each were machined.

[@jeremiahcole2542]

Doug please do more commentary. You have so much monster truck knowledge!

[@Tireblaster]

Great review Doug. Got myself the Son uva Digger as well.

[@ICEYY_FR]

I bought a Losi bog hog one and my dad ownes a king sling one these things are awesome for racing and jumping

[@larryburns777]

The really did a good job with this truck.. theres a 4wsteering kit i think to...

[@oldironsfury]

7:20 what a Brute!!! 👍👍👍👍

[@somechannel7083]

This has got to be the biggest rc release next to the exb line this year and that’s saying a lot

[@AvidRCWorld]

The blue MT with blue light is sooooo awesome!!!

[@martinsonly]

$200 off today @ HH. Ordered mine! Can't wait!

[@specialformula14]

Solid axle for a basher and repairs gonna be pricey and Meh performance.

[@Bonkherz]

It’s amazing

[@micheleg9492]

Hi good job . What about venting tires for water ? i think it’s not necessary to drill holes in the tires the manual explain only to flip over the vehicle and spin the wheels a couple of time. Let me know what do you think thanks . I have to buy maybe this monster in the future 😄

[@HaydennLIVE]

What about parts? Are they easy to find for this truck

[@TriggerKingRC]

Not much yet.

[@joshmcbride7188]

Hahahahaha no leaking????? It's greased not oiled!!!

Thank you for the detailed overview.

[@lowridr2]

That things looks really fun

[@tonyciriello6872]

Missed you at Enfield CT. on the 17th/18th Nov. Wish you had kept on driving. Maybe next year? I pre-ordered this Losi at my local hobby shop" Hobby Quarters" in Foxboro. First in line. My son races at RCMTC . They started a new class they call"Challenger". Shocks and sway bars on axle, 2s, 3800kV or 10.5 turn, (no 550 can), full cage. This truck looks like it"s good out of the box. Your sure right about building these trucks. Two grand is easy to spend to compete with the RCMTC drivers.(And your clubs drivers). Do you think this truck is most of the way there in either Challenger or Pro Mod? Look forward to racing with your club. Maybe I can bring Chris to one of your races this summer. (vaccine?)

[@Dusty2424]

I hope Axial is ready to put up a fight

[@Biowolf626]

Same people own both companies now so I doubt it

[@JimKhan-r5b]

[@GeneralHobbies]

boy howdy.... lovin it

[@raynist]

Great review!! This looks awesome! I have one arriving on Friday. Your math is a bit off. If it weighs 12lbs with batteries it is 1/1000th scale weight of the 12k lbs real truck. It would have to weigh 1k lbs to be 1/10th scale weight 😀

[@MrDrakePrice]

Google "square cube law"

[@vibe808]

Sold

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

Would love to see ACRC configure the Havoc chassis to be able to accommodate the motor and center differential. I want it just for the axles!

[@TriggerKingRC]

Wayne no promises but knowing Bob you'll see something like that probably :) Those axles are going to see a ton of use. They are really nice.

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

@@TriggerKingRC This truck has definitely sparked a new fire for me to get back into messing with my trucks. I still plan on getting a couple of the Havoc chassis's for some of my Bigfoot builds, but I'm definitely excited to see what this Losi LMT gonna do for us guys who are true solid axle monster trucks guys.

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

@@TriggerKingRC Thanks for the review, I've been checking out all of the different ones.

[@royhuck4636]

How much is it that's all I have to ask I am a avenger 57 Chevy fan but this is cool.

[@SolRC]

Y'all figured out what if any after market bodies fit it? I appreciate your reviews and time, happy holidays T. King.

[@TriggerKingRC]

It is looking like most bodies will, other than a few of the shorter ones made for a stock Clod Buster.

[@jessvex]

These LMTs are amazing. I saw one running a bike track earlier this week. Just saw about six in stock at my local RC shop today too! Definitely scooping one soon.

[@gravediggerrc]

YOU SAY THAT IT IS SCALE FEEL LIKE DRIVING A REAL MONSTER TRUCK IS THAT ON 2S 50C OR 100C ?

[@nickmartin5541]

Nope give me my smt10

[@LawrenceTimme]

The inside of the wheel being big is almost enough to put me off.

[@sofghost6663]

That and the truck/body just looks too low. Reminds me of a spin master monster truck the way it looks. Wish they made a truck a little more like the smt10 just beefed up. The smt10 just looks way more scale and for $300 less it almost seems worth it to just get the smt10 and modify it

[@LawrenceTimme]

@@sofghost6663 it depends how you drive I guess. For me could spend £1,000,000 on the smt10 and it still breaks. The axles are just too small and weak. The diffs are also weak, even upgraded. This truck has fixed everything I think. If you run 2s and brushed or mild brushless, OK the smt10 is fine. It will break but not too often. If you run 3s though or a powerful brushless system they can barely last 1 battery pack. This losi looks like I could go all day

[@sofghost6663]

@@LawrenceTimme well I mean if other wheels can be run on the LMT and still clear the carriers and steering arm the shocks could be mounted lower on the chassis to raise the body/chassis i guess. I just wish losi added more of a scale chassis look. I guess its still early and upgrades mods may come out to Taylor to peoples wants/needs

[@LawrenceTimme]

@@sofghost6663 yeah it's more of a race truck than a scale truck. Scale is axial's thing, racing is losi's thing.

[@sofghost6663]

@@LawrenceTimme yea a mix between the 2 would be ideal tho. I'd love the axial but with steel tube chassis/frame,bigger 4 link bars,steel driveshafts,thincker axles/diffs,sway bars, and the gearbox/motor setup from the losi lmt. That to me would be an amazing scale/freestyle truck

[@silverfoxmckeand1125]

Mine won't bind

[@edgartorres6602]

How do you set the punch on the losi lit grave digger

[@DavidFernandez-sc5ws]

2:08 1/1000 scale when it comes to weight. Monster jam trucks definitely don’t weight 120lbs

[@TriggerKingRC]

Sorry i misspoke there. I did say earlier in the video that a full size monster weighs around 12k pounds

[@RyanAlba]

Phenomenal review! Thank you guys

[@Cbam871]

Needs a flag an planetary wheels. Otherwise perfect

[@eltodd9437]

Where did you get the white jump?

[@TriggerKingRC]

One of our racers builds those.

[@skylargiem8822]

How fast does it go, and can I use a traxxas battery and charger for this

[@Tony-cheesy]

Love this truck but the faded stickers on the sides look terrible. Why has this been let onto the market like this.....such a small thing to get wrong. I will buy the Grave Digger purely because it will bug me like that.

[@garyhunt9838]

I agree. I think they should have held off the release until they got those decals looking a bit better and not so faded compared to the rest of the paint. And bring the bodyshell more to the correct dimension and not so wide and square, but its too late now i guess lol.

[@GeneralHobbies]

🦅👍

[@Jarhead1313]

Is the wheelie bar removable?

[@jesseco9964]

How do you prevent the tires rubbing on the trailing arms on an smt10? I have set end points but the turning radius is too wide.

[@TriggerKingRC]

You can use a wider offset wheel or a wider adapter if using JConcepts Tribute wheels.

[@jesseco9964]

@@TriggerKingRC I am running tributes and using the 25mm adapter and it still rubs. Is there a larger one?

[@jerryr7641]

Cool video

[@DirtyFrigginHarry]

Haven't paid this much attention till now. I can't justify purchasing another truck while my sport mod and retro projects are gathering dust, but I'm anxious to see what you guys do with them for the next season.If the aftermarket is there, I might just relegate my SMT10 to the parts bin For those of you without 600 dollars to burn, nows a great time to get a used SMT10!

[@lexsteel12]

I must admit, I've never been much of a monster truck fan, but this little truck has me excited about it. But, I feel this truck would have been better served as a 1/6 or even 1/5 monster truck. Now that, is what I would call, a monster truck. That being said, I am still digging this monster truck, a lot. But I hope Losi is planning on coming out with a larger version. if the reception to this truck is anything to go by, a 1/5 version would literally sell itself.

[@yoyoyoyo8065]

1/8

[@NobodyNoWhereElse]

👍

[@BigDsRc517]

1/8 scale not 1/10!

[@christopherdeguzman1137]

Sorry, it’s nothing like a real monster truck! it doesn’t give you the fantasy of driving a real monster truck. Heck, playing a RC car is not even in the same league of driving a real car. Don’t get wrong, I like RC’s, but I prefer the real experience on driving a real car. It’s more expensive, but it’s way more worth it.

[@BIGGBULLxxx]

Man I just bought the new Losi super baja rey and I was just wondering what to buy next ...and so far this is it I just wish it had a full tubular roll cage.

[@IBoughtAFuckingNormalCup]

WHAT PRICE IS THAT

It is better than the MAXX from the price 😊😊
