I took the monster tires off because they aren't as grippy as the smaller truck tires I have... but in the proecss of pulling off the wheels... I messed up my 1:228 axle
so now I have to send it back to Germany to have it repaired...
on a lighter note... I had already started on another truck using the Lemo Solar block motor, and now THAT one is running great... it's a lot faster than the other gearbox... but I can feather the throttle and get it to climb anyway and it's really cool
I may use the monster tires again in the near future... as I wasn't running it on any "terrain"... on formica and magazine covers they just didn't seem as grippy... but on real terrain they might work great.... but I figured if the tires can grip on slippery surfaces... then "terrain" wouldn't be an issue
The one on the left is my backup TTTT Truck.. the one on the right is the one that the axle is out for repair:
