There you go, that's the ticket.

It's not jacked up too much, the wheels are way too small. Look at it, it looks like a monster truck on the semi wheels they use when they roll them up on the trailer.

The truck itself is a cool set-up.

The choice of bodies right now suck...there's 2.

No upgrades avalible yet, but as always....Who really needs store bought upgrades. There's always fets.

Like I said before, my only questionable thing or part is the drivetrain center gearing. It doesn't engage enough to keep the truck 4WD.

Other than that, the suspension is really cool and the shocks look like they could fit a OL or MZM.

The motor is a stubby ZZMT motor.

It's almost 4am............goodnight........

I'll fill in more ASAP. Sorry, for the short reveiws/comments. Opening a restaurant is a bitch.

I think I might just drop an Iwaver board in, but I'll see when I get it.

what is spaming?

gnubee · Post by **gnubee** » Sat Mar 19, 2005 6:26 pm

lots of ways to spam.

one easy way is to derail a thread. go to a thread about a new car coming out and post "i like robots".. or something like that.

dont bother with doing this at tinyrc as none of the 12 yr olds there will even notice anything different.

nice looking truck.

Ok, I bought one tonight, and decided to go mudding, and after that little fun time, I'm ready for a full review. I'm at my dad's, so no pics until tomorrow night. Onto the review!

Price: Well, the SSMT has the base line beat here, with 21.99 instead of 24.99. If you have to buy batteries with it, the ZZMT wins, but I'm assuming you don't.

SSMT: 1, ZZMT: 0

Assembly: Again, the SSMT took the cup on this. It took me longer to open up the package that it did to assemble!

SSMT: 2, ZZMT: 0

Quality: Well, few of us thought we'd see the day when RS beat a competitor here. The SSMT's body is cheezy, but I'm not rating that. The problem is, I discovered what was causing SG219's front slip. The SSMT's wheels snap on, not like the ZZMT's, which bolt on. This caused some problems, which I'll explain later. Also, the SSMT's charging plug takes the bottom of the controller and plugs it into THE TOP of it. It's a fucking dumb arraignment. The ZZMT controller also owns IMO, but since these are both opinion, I'm not rating either.

SSMT: 2, ZZMT: 1

Street Cred: Another surprsing thing happened here. The SSMT's turning radius makes the ZZMT look like it can turn in your palm!! Both are dual celled, and while it might sound like the SSMT is slower, stock-for-stock, the SSMT is faster. If it was better turning stock and it could go significantly faster and had motor upgrades, the SSMT would win, but it doesn't.

SSMT: 2, ZZMT: 2

Off-roadability: Well, as mentioned above, the SSMT's wheels snap on. What I discovered tonight is that the hubs they mount on easily slip while in the wheel!! Whoever designed the wheel setup on this should be shot for ruining this otherwise great offroader.When it tries climbing in mud, you'll see it sit there, running its balls off, but the wheels AREN'T MOVING!! This pissed me off to no end, and also makes it so you won't wheelie. Surprisingly, the SSMT didn't roll once in my 20 minute run. Articulation is great, but it hates climbing. The ZZMT on the other hand is nearly impossible to stop and is loads of fun.

SSMT: 2, ZZMT: 3

Suspension: The SSMT has awesome articulation. The rear axle can go upto about 70-75 degrees, while the front I'd say is challenged at 35 degrees or so. As we all know, the ZZMT's suspension sucks balls, so I won't even waste space for it.

SSMT: 3, ZZMT: 3

This folks ends in a dead heat. I could've made an upgrade availability thread, but I think there will soon be upgrades for the 1:43 beast. Personally, I love both, but the ZZMT I feel is better stock for a noob who wants to do 0 modding. If the person shopping is an experienced pimp, the decision goes to the SSMT, because it has a great suspension setup, but the wheels and wheel mounts suck balls. After looking at it, I'm with SG on thinking that OL shocks will work. I think they'll lower it a bit. It would be very cool to put IW04 oil shocks on one of these just so see how it performs. Anyway, the choice is yours.

UPDATE: I have good news and bad news. The good news is that it has a front and center diff. The bad news is that it has a front and center diff. I thought modding the wheels to not slip would fix climbing. It does not, but the wheels don't slip. I'm gonna take it apart and see if I can solve the problem.
