how to make your mt steer like a dream in 30 sec

1.start by taking the body off

2.unscrew the motor plate reveiling the motor it should say "up"

3.flip the motor with the "up" facing the ground

4.next put your body on backwards

5.if you want you can switch the tires around

works incredible! i love it lights work and every thing. it does put the spring suspension in the rear and make the steering backwards but i think it is worth it. i would suggest you try it!

That's kinda silly. The whole point of the Zip Zap monster is that the front wheels turn, while being 4wd.

Might as well get a cheapie monster with tank steering. It'll turn on a dime, and you wont have to watch any wheels turn, that'd be better than watching it steer reversed

yeah but the drift effect on these is awesome espeacilly with the "slicks" even tho i no its kind of retarded to drift a mt but it is fun as hell on surfaces like tarmac or hardwood. another question is what motor should i use in my steering im going to but a new one in there...think a hummer p digi clone one would be good? it would probably be pretty fun to put like a mt motor in there and shave the chassis too let the wheels travel farther. it can be easily don also if you look at the bottom and turn it and you can see the knuckle hit the chassis thus stopping it... but if you do it to mutch it will hit the cahssis. be carful if you want to attemt it tho

edit i tried the p digi motor in here and it works incredible now all i need is a lipo cell or another battery pack (4cell) i already have a monster patrol with orange gears and orange motor. occasianly the green gears when im really driving like in the 3 quarter inch rock out front. but now i have orange gears orange motor and p-digi steering motor with stock tires and black rims

Ahhh yeah, the drift effect. I think that's why it bothered me. Reminds me of that "drift" setting on the new Super Slicks. Personally, in my opinion, that was a silly wasted feature on those cars.

...but whatever floats your boat.

What is the point of this? Having a Monster that steers all wrong? I don't really get why you'd even want to do it, but to each his or her own.
