Axial SMT10 Monster Truck Raw Builder’s Kit
Horizon Hobby have introduced the new Axial SMT10 Monster Truck Raw Builder’s Kit, a 1/10th scale rigid axle MT chassis. Full-scale monster truck tours such as Monster Jam fill arenas with capacity crowds eager to see world-class drivers compete in racing and freestyle events. The designers at Axial Racing have used their crawler expertise to create the perfect platform for bashers who want to build their perfect RC scale monster beast. The Raw Builder’s Kit is centred on the SMT10 tube frame 4WD chassis, which was developed for maximum bashing strength and an extremely detailed appearance. It is very similar to those used in full-size monster trucks. That is why the chassis excels at hard-core action over grass, gravel, pavement and asphalt tracks.
Axial went all out when creating the SMT10 monster truck chassis and roll cage. Very similar full-size Monster Jam truck chassis, the SMT10 tube frame was developed for maximum strength and has an extremely realistic appearance. It provides a variety of shock mounting points for suspension tuning options, with additional mounting points on the cage and at the axle for moving the shocks to a more scale, vertical position if desired. Mated to the proven Axial AR60 axle, the SMT10 chassis’ 4-link suspension soaks up any obstacles in its path. The AX10 transmission included with the kit is designed to make the most of the motor’s power. Its dual pad slipper system features a pad on each side of the spur gear to increase surface area, resulting in improved tuning precision and holding ability. Strong 32-pitch gearing enhances performance in high-torque applications. The kit comes without body, wheels, tyres and electronics and it will hit stores about mid-January.
