Short run of the 1/5 scale Monster Truck

Post by Steve71 »

Brought the big boy out today for a bit. First real time getting the 1/5 scale out this spring but was cut short by a blown bevel gear in the diff, knew it was going bad so have to swap a new one in now. If you notice the leaning spruce tree near the end of the vid, a 51lb truck can knock a tree right out of the ground. Now I have to fix a gear, and a tree b :lol:

Weren't you just working on building up that jump? The beast is kinda knocking it down. 🤣

It actually did knock some of the dirt off the top of the ramp, so gonna have to add some more and pack it down better for this truck.

Well just pulled the diff/axles out of the rear, I'm gonna say that bevel gear probably needs to be replaced :lol:
