Mega trucks are such a hot ticket lately, glad to see a realistic version of one. I can see a bunch of construction guys like me buying one and tearing up the job sites on lunchtime.
speed run was actually terrifying. imagine a corgi or your shins getting obliterated by that beast. great content as always. this channel will explode in the next 2-5 years.
This is another excellent review. I enjoyed it. I watched two other reviews of this chassis and the both like it. Bit, both had leaking shocks also. My only question is wears the mud?
45MPh?! That’s nuts! My typhon 3S only does 48, and it’s a buggy! Granted this thing definitely can’t take corners at full speed like the Typhon can lol
Haha true, the mega truck can't take any turns at high speed. Did you notice we almost stuffed the truck into the curb on our second pass. It was really sketchy. -Brett
My King Sling is the slowest, worst handling, and fragile truck i own. I rarely drive it because it's such a bad RC truck and it usually breaks. I absolutely love it! It's crazy how it can be so bad but so freaking cool. It's so cool that you don't even mind it sucks. There is definitely no other RC out there close to it.
@@AMain_Hobbies thanks Brett, glad you liked it! Surprised how well it came out considering I was filming and driving at the same time. I guess commenting must be turned off for some reason 🤔
I got one bc of this video to play with my dogs with. And they can’t keep up with it on 3s. Way faster in person then on camera. Way to go guys! What’s some good up grades been using mine as a basher
@@bobhilly546312156332 I bet. They seem like great, down-to-earth guys. Super cool you've met and dealt with them, and saw the King Sling in person (and worked on it!). -Brett
Pretty badass, has good potential, could make it look sweet. Gunna need to big bore shocks, the stock won't last on a truck like this. But, ya gotta start somewhere.
@@Shane9905 Has anyone found a fix for the leaky shocks? I pick up a Bog Hog today and 3 of the shocks are leaking right out of the box. Are they just build incorrectly from the factory or a defective design?
It seems like the revised shocks with the locknut inside to hold the piston instead of an e-clip are all leaking. It's obvious in every review, have not seen one who didn't have one shock leaking after the first run, even without jumps. Losi tried to address the problem of shocks getting ripped apart during expansion when the heavy wheels and axles pull on them, but it would be better and realistic to put limiting straps on them, as most people did on their LMT monstertrucks (those for the Traxxas UDR fit). The steering links only have plastic on the outside as a cover by the way, on the inside there is a metal rod, probably aluminium. It's sad they didn't address the main problems like the small metal rods on the sway bar links breaking and the kingpins holding the front steering knuckles slipping out as the setscrews can't hold them without loctite.
Great tips on this comment. I'm very interested in the original LMT chassis and have seen the videos of the newer King Sling in order to learn more about the chassis, improvements and weaker points overall, so this was super helpful. Thanks!!
@@YoShImUrA53 You're welcome! I do see some improvements on the new version like the battery tray with more options, the mudguards on the shocks and the bigger motor with 2800 kV. The 3150 kV motor in the monstertrucks tend to stutter/cog slightly when starting or trying to drive slow, indicating too high resistance/not enough starting torque. I'd recommend a sensored system, as they have much better low end torque and smoother operation at low speeds. You're most likely also going to replace the servo and servo horn/saver with something more durable. It develops play after some hard runs and the steering is a little too weak. In general you can check RUclips channels which have upgraded their LMT monstertrucks. I wouldn't upgrade the V2 axle housings to aluminium until they really break though. So far I only saw the V1 break and aluminium axle housings are expensive. Lots of people who have that upgrade bought the early version of the LMT. Sway bar links, limiting straps, loctite on the setscrews of the kingpins, servo and servo horn are definitely some upgrades to consider. The old shocks don't leak at all, IMO they are better as long as they are protected with limiting straps. Otherwise either the rod end at the bottom will rip off or the e-clip holding the piston at the top inside.
@@razorblade7108 Awesome, thanks again! This also points me in my initial direction of maybe going with the roller. Too bad no importer brings them to mainland Europe. Then again, I can always fit the electronics in another similarly sized basher. It would be great to have a V2 LMT, unless we speak of the current shock system, which as you say seems to leak on every instance we've seem them so far (I believe only CCxRC said he didn't have any leaks, but not 100% sure).
Your not the first to have problems with the shocks leaking just take the shocks off and tighten up the cap and put them back on so far it's only been the front shocks hope this helps
I believe that's it; body, tires, wheels & styling. If I remember right, there may have been a few chassis tweaks on the King Sling to beef it up a little, but both trucks are very similar. -Brett
$700 for this it looks kinda cheep the plastic chrome wheels kind of ruin it. Couldnt they have put some two piece wheels or some nice beadlocks for this price and not some cheap walmart wheels.
Awesome truck....side note-I really want the Kyosho Fazer Audi R8 that is NEVER in stock with you guys and to see it being used as a "junk car" to be run over kinda hurts...
Fantastic review, but omg MY EYES. What a hideous toy grade looking truck. It goes great, it's BUILT, but it hit every branch on the way down the ugly tree. Love the skinny tyres, it's fast, it handles for a big truck, but tht colour.... if the chassis was black it would counteract the wall of green that the side gives you. Sorry, I can't get past the look, I'd have to paint it or dye it. And that includes the bodyshell. And to restate - loved the review and the truck PERFORMANCE 👍🍺🇬🇧
Who noticed we almost stuffed the truck into the curb during the speed run?

The ppl at Amain struck gold when they employed this Gentleman to convey the RC industry to the masses. Job well Done ✨🏆🎥🏆✨
He does do a good job doesn't he
He's great.
He's awesome! I can't enough of his reviews and tech videos!
DEFINITELY 🇺🇲✌🏼

Sounds like a perfect idea, was thinking of doing the same thing with working in newly built houses
Man, you do the best reviews ever! I could watch them 24/7!
speed run was actually terrifying. imagine a corgi or your shins getting obliterated by that beast. great content as always. this channel will explode in the next 2-5 years.
Wasn't sure about this truck, but after watching your video, it's definitely growing on me. Good job. John
Same
King Sling in da house! Awesome truck, another Dennis the menace design, Love the Bog Hog as well
Beautiful video well done! Just purchased mine can’t wait to mess around with it and make a vid
I thought it looked silly until you really got into it. Now it makes sense and I really want one.
I like it!! And you really give great presentation of All the vehicles you do. Thanks
After watching it in serious action for the first time that thing is Awesome!!
I like that you threw in a few jokes and keep it more real and not gimmicky. I like this guy he’s got a good vibe to him
SPETTACOLARE... Ciao dall'Italia
My LMT is the same as that and it's just fun to drive and fly down the roads thanks 4 the video
Bog hog is my choice but they both are awesome you can always swap out the tires so thumbs up.
That thing looks rad!
Great Videos, this is why I love the R/C Hobby !
This is another excellent review. I enjoyed it. I watched two other reviews of this chassis and the both like it. Bit, both had leaking shocks also. My only question is wears the mud?
Bloody awesome fellas. Can't wait to get this down under in the desert.
I like this one!
super cool truck, thanks for the review
What a cool truck and awesome category for rc companies to make.

@@AMain_Hobbies I like real sketchy
How could I not want one ? Especially after that review .
This is bad ass!! Just don’t care for how low the center of the frame is to the ground? Idk. Definitely will get one!!
I can't help but think how this thing would do with actual monster truck wheels on it?
Very cool review. I want the Bog Hog! Can't wait till they come out.
I would love to see a losi lmt review and run
This is another excellent review. I enjoyed it
Brett is so under appreciated. He does such a good job of selling these to us and making us want one ourselves. He is the reason I have any RC’s

It's crazy how it can be so bad but so freaking cool. It's so cool that you don't even mind it sucks. There is definitely no other RC out there close to it.
The LMT is as equally awesome, I have Son of a Digger. One of the best scale monster trucks out there.
THANKS FOR POSTING SIR 👌🇬🇧🇺🇲🕊️✌🏼🤩🤙🏼👍🏼👌
I have a feeling Kevin talbot is going to get his hands on one of these lol
Excited to watch the dude break it too.
@@Celticfan114 lol ya
he had it before Amain...
For sure he would be getting one
It's getting it now! What Happened? Finish it! Finish it more! 😂 I love his videos! Kevin is hilarious, lol.
That truck is awesome I've watched a couple vids and it's bad ass!!!!
Ok I'm sold I definitely want one of these
Truck looks awesome. Brilliant review as always 👍🏼
Thank you David! I enjoyed your Traxxas UDR video but couldn't comment. Good looking footage though.

Brett is waaaay better than anyone over at horizon. They all talk like robots.
Great video. You guys should try the LMT its so much fun. The SUD is best and remove the wheelie bar.
Well, it *is* on the lmt chassis. But, different
I got one bc of this video to play with my dogs with. And they can’t keep up with it on 3s. Way faster in person then on camera. Way to go guys! What’s some good up grades been using mine as a basher
Awesome, we love to hear that. Glad you're enjoying it.

Fun story I actually helped remove the right rear tire on the full sized king sling back in 2019
KING SLING!
@@AMain_Hobbies the Anderson’s are a great group of people super humble need more people like them in the world

the lmt is one of my favorite rc solid axle monster trucks! and I might get king sling soon! ;)
*me turning my crawler into a mud truck.* Losi releases mud truck. bruh i think imma abandon my mud truck build and just go for this now.
I want one, badass video Brett!
King Sling. Kant stop saying it. King Sling.
I'm getting one, i have the grave digger and now i need the king sling!
That thing is sick
Pretty badass, has good potential, could make it look sweet. Gunna need to big bore shocks, the stock won't last on a truck like this. But, ya gotta start somewhere.
Amain ALWAYS putting out great videos for sure👍💯👊
Dope rig 🤘
Looks like roll over city!
Try the king slig with mt wheels and tyres be intresting to see the differances
Solid axle MT, baby!! Wheelie King 3.0?? Nightcrawler/MT combo?
Dude went straight for axial when talking about that sponsor plate😂
Are the axle housings still brittle like glass? Or did they redesign the axle housings!?!
Nice video! 👍
KINGGG SLINNGGGGG 8:53 :)
She got some go
Really keen on this Truck BUT the leaking shocks are definitely an issue they need to resolve.
Did they fix the axles yet
The windshield is blurred because it has clear plastic on it to protect it until you buy it
🤯
Nice man looks amazing
Pre-ordered one just yesterday. I sold my smt10 😂
4:52 are the shock shaft pliers back in stock yet? 😅 I still got one on backorder lol
Hopefully they arrive soon! I'm told in the next few weeks if all goes well.
-Brett
Interesting, Mark Santa Maria also had oil leakages out of both front shocks on his LMT Mega Mud Bogger.
RC Driver reported this as well. Hopefully this is just due to improperly tightening the shocks up and not just cheap shocks.
@@Shane9905 Has anyone found a fix for the leaky shocks? I pick up a Bog Hog today and 3 of the shocks are leaking right out of the box. Are they just build incorrectly from the factory or a defective design?
Not too late to make an LMT video.
What type of tires would you suggest, this thing is awesome. Hulk basher!! LOl
Definitely needs a wheelie bar!
Wow Amazing ! 👍👌🇲🇨
This truck looks completely awesome however being a mud truck and not a monster truck, I would have loved to see it tested in the actual mud.
It seems like the revised shocks with the locknut inside to hold the piston instead of an e-clip are all leaking. It's obvious in every review, have not seen one who didn't have one shock leaking after the first run, even without jumps.

Super big rc
Will they be updating the Monster truck to 4s capable?
King Sliinngg!
I don't understand how somebody can complain about having traction roll or too responsive steering on 4S just turn the gain down...🤤
Your not the first to have problems with the shocks leaking just take the shocks off and tighten up the cap and put them back on so far it's only been the front shocks hope this helps
plese make review of the losi lmt plese
Every video of this RC, including this one, has shown it with leaking shocks. Seems as though LOSI don't bother to test their products.
What's the difference other than the body and tirea from the grave digger losi lmt
I believe that's it; body, tires, wheels & styling. If I remember right, there may have been a few chassis tweaks on the King Sling to beef it up a little, but both trucks are very similar.
-Brett
Oh yeah, the King Sling is 4S LiPo compatible, where the LMT Grave Digger is 3S.
-Brett
So it’s the exact same thing as my lmt10 digger just different tires
Cool truck. Does AMain sell those little Jersey barriers?
No unfortunately, they were given to us by Pro-Line who used to sell them. I've seen them on eBay though as a concrete fingerboard barrier.
-Brett
$700 for this it looks kinda cheep the plastic chrome wheels kind of ruin it. Couldnt they have put some two piece wheels or some nice beadlocks for this price and not some cheap walmart wheels.
Come to Brazil I would really like to buy in your store!😶🌫
45? Was that on a 3 or 4s
I have a question. What is like playing with toys as a full time job ? Like do you get all the girls ?
I like it
Awesome truck....side note-I really want the Kyosho Fazer Audi R8 that is NEVER in stock with you guys and to see it being used as a "junk car" to be run over kinda hurts...
I feel your pain! Unfortunately Kyosho still shows the Audi out of stock, not sure why, maybe supply constraints?
-Brett
Its like a Ryft with j concepts king slings on it
Is that stock settings on the esc with 4s?
Yes, stock settings; we made no changes to the ESC programming. We just put a 4S in it and went out driving.
-Brett
The sound of the body lifting should be standard on the Graved digger.
This Car on wider Badländs with a wider bodycit on 6s👌.
Can you put normal monster truck wheels on it
Sure. The LMT wheels and tires fit no problem.
-Brett
Does AMain carry those ramps yet?
No ramps sadly.
