Axial SMT10 Max-D Monster Jam 1/10th scale RTR truck

Based on Axial’s new SMT10 1/10th scale 4WD monster truck chassis comes the Max-D Monster Jam truck. Since 2003, the full-scale MAX-D has won 11 Monster Jam World Finals championships and brought crowds to their feet with daredevil manoeuvres and non-stop excitement. Amongst a lineup of Monster Jam trucks, the low slung futuristic SUV body with yellow, red and silver paint scheme combined with chrome spikes is an instant grabber. Coming back to its 1/10th scale sibling, the kit was developed for maximum strength and an extremely detailed appearance. The chassis offers many pivot points for suspension tuning while realism and strength are achieved through triangulation of the chassis tubes, making it ready for maximum attack and hardcore Monster Truck bashing. Part of the package are also the AR60 OCP-Axles that are constructed from high strength composite material which has a low flex rate but is not as brittle as standard glass filled nylon. The combination of these axles and a true 4-link suspension gives optimal performance for any terrain with the look of a real full-scale vehicle.

Other features of the new SMT10 platform include heavy duty C-hubs, heavy duty hydraulic RAM style steering links, a trailing arm 4-link rear suspension as well as a waterproof receiver box, easy access battery track and adjustable 87-125mm aluminium shock absorbers. Heavy duty WB8 driveshafts optimise power delivery and a 3-gear AX10 transmission with updated dual pad slipper and 32 pitch gearing makes for the needed durability. The kit is rounded out by a tough polycarbonate bodyshell with replica graphics and 2.2 BKT Monster Jam tyres on orange truck wheels. The control duties are taken care off by a Tactic TTX300 3-channel radio system, metal gear steering servo and a waterproof AE-5 brushed controller to which the 27T Axial motor attaches.
