Project
Brief
After more than
a decade in electric RC, I finally took the plunge into NITRO! And
this is the truck that enticed me enough to do so.
The Dominator
is a 1/8 Scale Monster Truck powered by a .21 sized nitro engine.
I don't really consider it a MT, but rather a nitro powered 4WD
Racing Truck. This truck basically began life in OFNA as a buggy
and then later as a MT called the Monster Pirate - but this latest
incarnation is the most impressive yet.
Many of the
Monster Pirate's weaknesses have been addressed - a stronger drivetrain
with a steel spur, hardened diff gears housed in aluminum housings
and a slipper clutch, Much stronger bracing, modified shock towers
and longer shocks, etc. All these make the Dominator a very different
beast from the truck that preceded it even though they may look
similar.
I've had a wonderful
time picking up the ropes to nitro with this truck, and I hope to
fill this portion of my site with info I've learned as well as setup
tips specific to this impressive rig.
