ZDRacing ZMT-10 the best sub 200usd 1:10 rc money can buy... hum sure... but I rather transform :)

 At 160 USD the ZDRacing ZMT-10 9106 is considered by many, as the best  sub 200USD 1:10 monster truck you can buy.




It comes standard with a 3300KV motor and a 45Amp ESC, good for 60km/h out of a 2S battery. 



HOWERVER, I already brought mine with 5400Kv and 60Amp ESC, plus, the 3S. 

This means that my car, from the start managed, not the 60KM/h 24420 rpm, but an astonishing 60480 rpm. This means that each RPM is responsible for 0.002457002 km/h.

So, following a direct propositional math, my car was able to reach 148.599 km/h from the start.

This meant several things:

    1 - Self unscrewing screws - easy fix with nail polish to hold them in.

    2 - Twisting chassis - fortunately there is an aluminium version to buy part for.

    3 - After fixing the chassis, the wishbones started to flex and the towers too. So full metal suspension parts + towers

    4 - Broken semi axle - The next thing to go was the semi axles, so I brought more robust ones and coupled with aluminium hubs to match... now the chassis is all metal. 

    5 - So the suspension started to act and me ineffective. OK, double shocks with oil reservoir.

    6 - Finally.. it went too fast for turning, so let's make the wheels bigger and the car wider. Some spacers and 1:8 wheel s fixed this. 


The Car got way bigger and wider, and the speed was so insane that I managed to destroy the cover, so a new one was installed as per the last image.







The result, way more than 150 km/h, as the wheels got bigger and so the motor gear, so this is close to 200km/h now:
