Jconcepts Reactor Monster Truck Build

That is a nice sway bar setup. I like it!

This build is coming along nicely. I would not at all recommend for a first build or for someone that is not good at figuring stuff out. The instructions are a bit underwhelming at times...

Dang!

Sweet! Looks awesome!

The steering looks interesting, is it below the links and behind the axle?

Yes it is.

Kind of hard to showcase because its tucked away. It is behind the axle and uses pivoting arms on both sides.

That's sick! Gives you sooo much tuning ability.
Thanks for the close ups!

This thing is looking pretty mean!

If it performs as good as it looks, it should be stellar!

I ran it up and down my driveway a couple times. Its pretty slow on 2s, but it isnt made to be a speed demon. Its pretty plush and turns really well. It seems very balanced and LCG. Ill probably grab a 3s shorty that fits and try it out.

The roll cage is adjustable, so that is nice. You just slide it to the position you want and tighten it up. It has different cab height options as well.

I think it comes with 27t motors. You can toss in a pair of 12t Titans to give it some cheap go. Should be fine.

The kit doesn't come with motors or electronics. I picked 27t motors based on Jconcepts reccommendation. Its not meant to be a wheelie machine or high speed basher.

I thought they gave you silver can motors with stickers. Those cheapskates. Clodbuster would give you the motors. I wouldn't bash it hard myself until I knew it could take it. 27t is perfect to keep it from breaking.
