Status: offline 		depends, if the needle is identicle to yours, aka same taper on the needle, same thread, length, width, etc then yes. But like i said, the only ones that i know will work are for the AE28/TTR28, same motor as thunder tiger make the motors

Status: offline 		Sup all..

I just finished my third tank on my new mgt. I cant beleive how easy this motor is to tune. Two short bursts with my drill and she fired right up for the first time. After 3 tanks its only died once and im still on the original glowplug.

Like most stock MT's It doe's need some upgrades, like a steering servo, receiver battery pack. Those are going to be my first upgrades anyway..Also, i think the turn radius is terrible. To completely turn around my truck needs almost 2 carlengths of room. Without buying any hopup parts, are there any tweaks i can do to correct this? Thanks....

Actually the whole front end was out of whack. I had a turnbuckle hitting the diff. among other things. It looks much better now, ill have to readjust on the transmitter tomarrow.

Just got my new MGT 4.6, and want to stock up on some spare glow plugs. Since I live in Germany, they don't have the ones mentioned in the manual. The ones here are numbered differently, for example #6 and so. I plan to run 20% nitro in the truck. Any ideas?
