I'm going racing with it tomorrow, should be fun. There are a few threads on this forum about the truck, do a search and you'll turn up some good info and loads of opinions from other people who have one.

Status: offline 		I also have one with the .21. I really like it, it keeps up with my friends t-maxx, it has tons of power, and it is pretty big. I like it. The only thing i have had problems with is the Drive lines. the cvd's use a lot of screws, and you must thread lock ALL of them. They fall out. But other than that it is great.

Status: offline 		My buddy and his son have two. They are new to nitro and the MGT 4.6 has ben a good truck for them. Seems very durable, easy to tune and keeps a tune and runs great. They never monitor the temps or anything like that, they just go out and run them. The one truck has 6 gallons through it since Xmas. They have had some breakages, but they are beating the crap out of them and it's normal to break stuff. Other than breaking a-arms, bumpers, shock caps came off, they have lost some shafts because of pin screws coming loose. Now that they loctite them they are good.

I have not driven it but I have seen them run and I was impressed.

If I was to get a 1/8 big block MT it would be the MGT. I have a Revo and like it, I have a Revo 3.3 on order.

I would say buy it.

Status: offline 		Some say yes, I say no with the stock engine (wheelie action). I dropped my LST2's m427 (along with some gearing and tire changes) in it and it will wheelie at will and is uncontrollably fast at top speed. Almost as fast as my novarossi powered LST2.

Status: offline 		my roommate has an original .21 and i would have to agree, the MGT is a very good and durable truck. just a little slow, and the stock steering servo is sub-par. other than that its definately worth it.
