- Moulded roll cage construction — The integrated roll cage provides structural support and authentic monster truck styling, protecting the interior components while adding dramatic visual presence to your RC vehicle.
- Twist lock composite flip top — The innovative flip top cage design uses twist lock mechanisms for quick and reliable access to battery, electronics and maintenance points, eliminating the need for tools whilst keeping everything secure during operation.

- Professional monster truck authenticity — The Megalodon branding and cage design authentically represent the legendary professional monster truck, allowing you to display genuine Monster Jam styling on your compact RC platform.
- Easy maintenance access — The flip top design means you can quickly service your brushed motor, check battery connections, inspect the 25A ESC, and perform routine maintenance without removing the entire body shell.

Technical Performance
The LOS Cage Mounting Set integrates with the Mini LMT's proven engineering platform, which combines a 1.5mm 6061-T6 aluminium chassis with a solid axle 4-link independent suspension system for uncompromised off-road capability. Your Mini LMT is powered by a 25T 380 brushed motor producing authentic monster truck performance, controlled by a 25A 2-in-1 ESC and fed by a high-capacity Spektrum Smart G2 810mAh 2S LiPo battery. The solid axle configuration with metal front and rear differentials allows each tyre to spin independently at optimal speeds, delivering the superior handling characteristics essential for both racing and freestyle freestyle competition. The suspension features threaded oil-filled shocks paired with suspension sway bars, enabling the Mini LMT to absorb impacts from jumps and obstacles whilst maintaining consistent traction through corners and wheelies. With a final drive ratio of 16.2:1 and internal gear ratio of 7.02:1, the Mini LMT delivers the torque and acceleration needed for explosive launches and impressive backflips. The realistic BKT tyres, which are reproductions of those used by professional drivers in genuine Monster Jam competitions, provide exceptional grip across varied surfaces from smooth garage floors and carpeted indoor spaces to outdoor concrete driveways, dirt fields, and tennis courts. The Megalodon cage mounting set maintains this performance envelope whilst adding the visual drama and structural support that defines professional-grade monster truck design. Ground clearance of 0.9 inches (22.3mm) ensures the chassis stays protected from impact whilst allowing aggressive suspension articulation, and the full ball bearing drivetrain guarantees smooth, reliable operation through countless hours of bashing and racing action.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this cage mounting set fit my existing Mini LMT 4WD monster truck? — Yes, this set is specifically engineered for the Losi 1/18 Mini LMT 4WD platform and requires no modifications to your existing chassis, suspension or electrical components. The mounting points align directly with the standard Mini LMT body mounting system, ensuring a perfect fit every time.
- What is the Megalodon and why would I want this body design? — Megalodon is one of the most legendary and visually striking monster truck designs in professional Monster Jam competitions. Choosing the Megalodon body shell for your Mini LMT allows you to recreate the authentic styling of this iconic truck in 1/18 scale, making your RC model a true collector's piece and conversation starter at any RC enthusiast gathering or Monster Jam tailgate event.
- Do I need to remove my current body shell to install this cage mounting set? — Yes, you will need to remove your existing body shell and any previously installed cage mounting system before fitting this Megalodon-specific set. However, installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools, with everything you need included in the package.
- Can I still access the battery and electronics with the flip top cage installed? — Absolutely. The twist lock composite flip top design allows you to quickly open the cage without tools, giving you immediate access to the battery compartment, ESC, receiver, and servo for maintenance, battery changes, and upgrades. This is one of the key advantages over fixed cage designs.
- Is this suitable for both indoor and outdoor RC use? — Yes. The cage mounting set works with your Mini LMT's versatile platform, which is equally capable indoors on garage floors, tiled surfaces, and low-pile carpets as it is outdoors on driveways, dirt fields, and grass. The Megalodon body shell offers no additional weather protection, so use the same environmental guidelines as your stock Mini LMT.
- What makes the Mini LMT platform so popular in the UK RC market? — The Mini LMT has become a fan favourite because it combines authentic Monster Jam styling with genuinely impressive performance in a compact, affordable package. Introduced in 2020, the original LMT platform set the standard for solid-axle monster truck performance, and the Mini LMT scales this down perfectly whilst preserving the power-to-weight ratio, handling capability, and freestyle ability of the full-size design. It's ideal for anyone wanting ready to run RC monster truck action without the space requirements or expense of larger platforms.
