    MTXL gen 2.0

    I don't often sell my R/Cs... still have a lot of the parts/cars from when I was a teenager, but my MTXL, I sold - and when I did, it was a big relief. It was my 1st 1/5 vehicle, and I expected everything to cost more, but after spending $1200 originally, I expected at least some enjoyment out...

    Alternate Wheels/Tires for Losi MTXL

    Wound up selling the truck...it was the right move for sure. I can barely find the time to run/maintain my E-Revo & still have a closet full of vintage R/C restoration projects to get to. Maybe one day I'll revisit large scale, but all I can say for sure is that when I do, it'll be electric...at...

    Alternate Wheels/Tires for Losi MTXL

    I don't think my expectations are unrealistic regarding speed. It's just that if I'm going to replace the engine as a sure-fire fix for the reliability problems, I may as well replace it with something that's got a little more oomph. I'm not looking to win any races, but at the same time when I...

    Alternate Wheels/Tires for Losi MTXL

    Hey All, before I pull the trigger on this engine upgrade I wanted to get some advice on the setup. I'm not totally clear on which carb to use, or exactly which accessories will give me the most value for the $$ and make the installation as painless as possible. I know I need to replace the air...

    Alternate Wheels/Tires for Losi MTXL

    Wow - that thing looks sick! A bit outside of the budget though. I think I'm going to pick up one of those Zenoah G320's ... should be a nice bump in horsepower. At the same time I'm going to see if I can install some type of roto-start system too. I already broke one pull starter & I just hate...

    Alternate Wheels/Tires for Losi MTXL

    Thanks guys - I'll give it a go and let you know. I think I'll just go ahead and swap out the receiver/radio system as well while I'm at it to hopefully have some more flexibility with those steering adjustments.

    Alternate Wheels/Tires for Losi MTXL

    I watched a few videos of the MTXL with this engine & it is so much faster than my truck it is ridiculous. At around $300 it might just be the least expensive best chance to see if I can make a go of this thing. If there were a bunch of other folks talking about troubles similar to the ones I'm...

    Alternate Wheels/Tires for Losi MTXL

    Thanks for the replies guys...I think I'm going to have to get some help reshooting the video, because it's really not showing what I intended. Driving with one hand while trying not to crash or get hung up on the neighbor's lawn without being able to turn around (don't get me started on the...

    Alternate Wheels/Tires for Losi MTXL

    I agree that I need to balance the tires (any thoughts on the Hot Racing Dual System Wheel Balancer?), but there's definitely more going on here. I recall noticing the wobble during break-in, but it went from putting a smaller wheel/tire combo on my wish list to comically unstable. Well, not...

    Alternate Wheels/Tires for Losi MTXL

    I'm not familiar with the 'duct tape trick'. Is that just a low-budget balancing technique? I just took the truck out for a test spin after some exhausting engine troubleshooting that I think is finally behind me...but now my problems are all related to steering & wheel-slop. I can jiggle each...

    Rebuilding Losi MTXL Steering Assembly

    I'm afraid that ship has sailed, as I disassembled major areas of the truck without realizing that there was no way to confirm the screw sizes. I have to be missing some sort of legend or key that would confirm these variables...but Losi doesn't get back to me and I'm still stuck. ARg.

    Thoughts on Losi MTXL monster truck

    I actually already purchased a complete stock screw set, figuring that'd make it easier since it was only like $13. I am amazed at how little I can find online about this particular area (DBXL too). Even Hot-Racing ignored my questions. This is pretty annoying; I'd bring it down to my LHS for...

    Thoughts on Losi MTXL monster truck

    Thanks for the info - I actually have the truck apart right now and could easily swap the receiver for one that will work with a much better radio I have handy. I'm also about to install the Hot-Racing ball-bearing steering setup since the stock one was totally stripped, but I'm stuck...it's my...

    Rebuilding Losi MTXL Steering Assembly

    I'd be satisfied if there were a way to determine which size screw to use! I have to believe I am missing something easy - because if not, these instructions were put together by a total maniac. How can they reference a part number that corresponds to a giant bag of screws of all different sizes...

    Rebuilding Losi MTXL Steering Assembly

    Hi All, So technically this is more of an MTXL question, but I am trying to reassemble my truck after needing to replace some broken parts, specifically the Hot-Racing ball-bearing steering system. It is pretty much a direct replacement for the stock system, and therefore not a complicated...

    Thoughts on Losi MTXL monster truck

    The turning radius is definitely too wide and has caused me to chase after the truck more times than I'd like....what it really needs is a reverse gear...surprised they didn't include one because you really need it on a truck this size. I'm currently searching for some smaller wheels/tires to...

    Alternate Wheels/Tires for Losi MTXL

    I'm looking for an alternative wheel/tire package for my Losi MTXL. The stock set look great and are huge, but it is clear they are just a wee bit too big for the truck and the wobble is robbing it of some power. I'd like to try something a little smaller, perhaps a set that's intended for the...
