Great truck, I have a bunch of videos on it. Full review:


Better than a Granite? Well, it's made a lot better, but not as durable IMO.
I was gonna link to all of your videos in the first post, just haven't gotten that far.
 
Ended up breaking the (R) Front arm, hit pretty hard. Jammed the brakes and nose dived

The only flaw really at the moment is the front arms. I’m sure Associated is aware with all the reviews on YouTube going around. I do agree though, awesome truck and it’s a no brainer at it’s price point .
Here is the breakage

I made a video on how to soften the brakes with the stock radio, it is definitely way too aggressive.

I ordered mines yesterday with the Helion Avenge arms. Pretty sure I will break the stock ones. ?
The body is beautiful, wonder if it will fit on the Granite.
The body was a big selling point for me. Just an awesome design!

Yes, SC10 4x4 fronts. Here is what I did, granted I think I need longer turnbuckles to be safe but it’s working for now . Wider stance in the front .
Picture #
1.You can see how much longer the sc10’s are
2. Servo mount inserts for perfect in the area since the hinge pin is a hair smaller
3. Showing inserts in
4. Dremel for castor block
5 drill out after dremel to use original inserts for the long screw 3/16

Fixed the width in the back . The stance is that much better. Even all around with the new arms

I really want to see a side by side of this and the Stampede 4x4 now that I think about it.
 
Use to have a 4x4 pede. This one is ahead of the pede imo
Oh I'm sure it is, actually I know it is, I just want to see a side by side, I would think someone on the Youtube has one, I'll go search around.
 
Truck is pretty capable. IMO handles better than the Granite V3, but not quite as fast.

 
I just picked one up on a Black Friday sale for $270. RPM is supposed to be making arms for it according to this email https://www.rctech.net/forum/showpost.php?p=15664823&postcount=16

Along with the Rival MT10, I also have a Losi Tenacity MT10 (discontinued), two Teckno MT410s (one roller and one kit still in the box never opened I got two years ago on a black Friday sale for $315), along with about $600 worth of Castle Mamba X ESC/Motor and Hobbywing Max8 Combo all new in the box, high output servos new in the box... topped off with 1982 square chevy body (still in the package). I doubt I'll ever do anything with the MT410 trucks. I suppose I like RTRs better, kits are too involved.

Expensive (and addictive) hobby!
