The Beast Broke! Project Show-Off Axial SMT10 RC Monster Truck Is Finished | RC Driver

- Well it has taken months of planning and building, but the Project Show-Off Axial SMT10 RC Monster Truck is finally complete. It actually wasn’t an easy finish to the project, Greg had to change up a few parts from his original plan and that extended the finish time of the build. Plus there were a lot of new cars that came into the shop that he had to concentrate on reviewing which pushed off the build even more. But it’s finally done and you’ll get to see the finished truck in this video and you get to see it running as well. However, not a ton of running. The Beast Broke! The goal to build the ultimate solid axle RC monster truck didn’t go as planned. Find out what went wrong with this build by watching the full video. Let us know what you would have done differently. Thanks for following the series!

Running spooled axles at either end is pretty savage on all components in a MT. Folks will run a locked rear end on slippery gravel, but on grass, no wonder it tore it's self apart. Running open diffs will also make it less tippy. I've been beating on basically stock SMT10 (builders) with full size J Concepts tires, cheap cast lower links and c' n knuckles with a 4600kv 4 pole 4x4 SCT motor and I've killed a stock servo saver. That's it.
Please keep doing your build series Greg. We your followers get to learn more from these types of content. CJ here from Manila, Philippines. 😊
appreciate the honesty, great review and build.
Just beautiful. wow. I could look at that chassis all day long. Well done Greg, you killed it. I love bashing monster trucks, the Team Associated Rival has been my go to basher lately, the ability to adjust the truck is really nice.
Now you can appreciate why the LMT is such a good truck.
Everything is double shear. 17mm hexes to keep the wheels on and not strip the hexes and the servo saver helps the rod ends. The gear don't skip because they are beast.
dude the stock gear set are unbreakable
Welcome 2 the smt10 world
Great upgrade and nice tires! Good to bashing and jumping 😊👍🏁
I break my LMT every 2 battery packs on average. And when I upgrade one component, another fails... Sometimes sticking with plastics is the best idea.
Thank you for showing the durability issues. I built a custom SMT10 last year and had many of the same issues (and more!).
Nice rig dude
I've had a few days like this before. I feel your pain
Oh man! Its always bummer when builds like that are a little less than you expect. I run those munitions and love them, but they don't like tons of power, they do round out easy. Everything else looks super nice! really awesome build. For your top links, can those fit on the inside of the chassis? it seems like that might put less torque on it? Sure is a nice one build though. I have really been debating on building a tube chassis based SMT10 or a plate chassis. Id really like a LMT but I think the pocket book says to stick with a platform I already have. lol. Maybe on our next online freestyle comp we can have you as a judge! have a great weekend and great job on the build!
She is sharp looking, great build man, and good job on the driving, definitely can tell your years of experience brother
Despite the issues i love your MT build👍🏼
Dang man I feel your pain lol that's what happens when you go full Aluminum and no servo saver. But you will get it straightened out and it will be a beast👍🤙✌️💪
I knew it would increase the stress/wear factor but thought it would last more than 5 minutes LOL
most of the problems your having are because your diffs are locked, you can here it straining when your steering and it seems to roll over easy because of the locked diffs, unlock them and it will be a much better truck, you wont know yourself if you unlock them
wow what a beauty rig!!
Losi lmt roller next? That be a cool build in the future. Good build Greg
Very cool monster truck build Greg. 😊👍
i definitely think the wheel hexes are a big reason they strip wheels. they have a wedge at the end and i never have issues with the normal flat hexes. but with my smt10 i’m building right now i can’t test out the flat hexes
Thank you for such interesting and fun content. I guess you could the weakest links. . . Everything else is built so strong and tough the plastics can't handle it!! Still looks sweet!
Hello greetings from Colombia
Hi From the Dominican Republic!
I know how you feel. I dumped a whole lot of money into a ground pounder when i first got back into the hobby and i could never run 1 full battery pack through it without something breaking. No matter how much i upgraded it. I couldnt keep it running.
Tires make or break a truck that thing needed 2.6 tires like u had at first
I just picked up that radio
I didnt know how much diffrent my smt10 would be when I took out the lockers and put diff gears in. I stopped breaking so much stuff(axles,wheels,rod ends,and servos. I thought it was Just bad design for the longest time. Put diffs in with 50k fluid and its totally a diffrent truck
Fantastic build,well done. But i got into the vid and after 1 minute see you have the plastic axles still! i have the SMT10 and keep it only because i think its still the best scale looking MT but the durability of the standard parts is woeful! look at the axles wrong and they break : )
have you seen the losi lmt it looks way more scale
@@vamp986 The SMT is more scale the LMT is too "heavy/bulky" .Not talking about the looks,its SCALE looks
Dang man… I gave up upgrading and making this hobby a money pit years ago…. Stock vehicles are more fun. Thanks for the video!!
Great build! How much lighter are the Duratrax wheels/tires than the Clod sized? The Duratrax tires look great on that truck!
That's why I only use Traxxas Revo rod ends or Boom Racing ones.
All the others have failed me in a way or other.
After looking back at this....maybe would have less in an LMT....and be more durable. As an smt10 owner myself(and spending over 1000$) I was also disappointed in the durability, even after upgrades. Had to put aluminum wheel adapters on so it would quit loosening the wheels, hardened axle shafts( they still bend), broken rod ends every time I run it, bent shocks, bent hardware, should have spent half as much for an LMT that's twice as fast,and more durable
Always a bummer when they have problems or break first run out. It is a really good looking truck though.
Seems to be needing more heavy duty parts? Sometimes simplistic is better?
Metal looks cool, Sometimes it just doesn't work out well? But regardless of that, the amount of time and money putting together your own build justified your skills 💯, awesome build, even if it can't take our fingers abusive nature, lol
KEEP ON BASHING, OR SPEEDING! FROM BARRIE ONTARIO CANADA
You should try some Jconcepts renegades and rims
when it comes to monster trucks that are for looking at the nice heavy alumin are for the shelves . lite is what you want . ive been doing monster trucks since 97 . stick to rpm plastics , top end shocks .....
Question? I have an arrma typhon and I put a max 8 in it and it has xt90 connectors and my batteries have ic5 will they work together.
@Tyler Young ok thanks
your running locked diffs, this is why it is running bad.
The clod wheels would have been way better
Great video..... Get Josh to make a better spur gear for the trans and rod ends for it! LOL!
I’m not speaking to Josh anymore. I heard he was putting 20’s on his Gladiator. 😂🤣😂
@@rcdriver 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Vanquish does make the M4 Machined Straight Rod Ends.
If you ever want to sell it, shoot me a message. I’ve been wanting one of those chassus.
sorry never mine i was thanking of the lmt sorry cool truck any ways
Sorry about that build, can't win them all! it sounds like a falling apart give it away to somebody you don't know LOL
At what point do you stop calling it an “Axial SMT10”???
