MY FSMT

[monstertruckmad]

Hi,

This my FSMT. I bought it for $40AU. It was in pieces and came in 3 boxes. The truck is new and had never been run. It's all stock (apart from the tuned pipe, DDM pull start and the TGN airfilter) but not for long

The guy who bought it pulled it down to check everything and lost interest. It sat in pieces in his shed for 4 months.

I put it together, painted the wheels, painted the side guards, painted the shell and put a few decals on it I had laying around.

It's not the best paint job, it's only for bashing. I want to get a MCD Baja 1000 shell for it.

I have a set of FGMT wheels and tyres coming for it along with some other hopups.

I'll post more pics the more I do to the truck.

very nice looking truck mate, is it 4wd?
you will notice a big difference with the FG mt wheels.
did you see the rebuild thread?

[monstertruckmad]

Hi,

No it's only 2WD. I wouldn't mind making it 4WD. I haven't seen the rebuild thread yet but I'll give it a fair going over.

So how much difference will the FGMT wheels make?

fg tyres makes a difference in handling, but then so does 4wd...

That's exactly how my FSMT came to me. In a thousand pieces lol. Great read, when I tear her down again I will be changing a few things.

I'm used to running a HPI 5T and HPI BAJA SS. I like the FS, it's a challenge to get the truck up to scratch so it can be bashed without something breaking in the first 2 minutes.
The FSMT makes a great project. I know one thing, they grow on you

[monstertruckmad]

My FGMT wheels and tyres came today. They look amazing on the FS. I can't believe how much better it handles and it seems to have more punch off the mark.

[fsmt4wd]

;D now get a 4wd kit and ya will be flying..

[monstertruckmad]

Here a few more pics of my project with FG wheels and tyres. It's unbelievable how much the handling changes when you put these on.

Hi,

The truck pictured above is now all mine I bought it this afternoon off a friend of a friend and it will be in my clutches tomorrow afternoon (fingers crossed).
I'm going to use this as a project and see what I can do to it to make it one hell of a tough truck so it can stand up alongside all of the other trucks and give them a run for there money Should be a very interesting project.

Hi,

Yes I got it for a bargain. I bought it for $350.00. I think that's what the FGMT wheels and tyres cost him so I really got the truck for nothing.
He didn't want to sell it but he has a few other projects on the go e.g. rebuilding two harleys and a 350 Chev engine for his ski boat.

Got it today and this thing flies. Not too sure what he did to it but my god it has great get up and go.
