You gotta see this
 

I know its nitro, but its so cool. A 1/4 scale New era monster truck with a supercharged connely V8, it sounds like a real monster truckhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxX8y...elated&search=

it does sound cool, but I think my neighbors would want to kill me, if I drove that around the neighborhood.

That looks and sounds sweet, wish I could've seen it do a wheelie though. :D

I would have a blast with one of those.....if I had $$ for one.

Very cool. I bet all my neighbors would be riding in the bed of it... lol.

That is very sweet! He had to put some work into that baby!

If he could do a modern monster truck chassis, Like gravedigger, that would be fun to see. It looked a little too stiff for me

That's what nitro's should sound like. Unfortunately it not as fast as the noise makes you think it will be. With a smaller lighter truck it could be good.

+1!! One of the pro-nitro arguments is the "realism" of the sound. But to me, regular nitros sound like overgrown mosquitos. This one actually sounds very nice and realistic. Seems that the power would be better suited for 1/5 scale or smaller though...

I think that he should convert it to electric, then it WOULD do wheelies and he wouldn't have to worry about the neighbors.

That's not nitro, it's gasoline isn't it?

I am also pretty sure it is gasoline.

Gas, nitro, whatever. They all make too much noise and are smelly. :)

A BL setup for something that size would be expensive! Let's see:

• 2215/1.5Y motor: $550
• ESC capable of 10s and 200A : estimated at $600
• 10s 10Ah lipo (2 X 5s1p): $550

Hmm, $1700 and that's not including the radio, servos, truck, and custom parts. :eek:

I'll volunteer for that project when I win the lotto, until then..., since Aangel was first the first to suggest converting it I think he should try it. Although it could end up being really really expensive if he starts having any more of his famous good luck :005:

ROFL! Yeah, with his luck, the whole truck will explode!
