FG MT for racing or bashing?
Just wondering if anyone races the FG MT's or are they just used for bashing around? So far, every off-road post and race reports that I have seen deal with the MB, Marder and Leopard.

Dazz,
What tires did he have on the truck? I would think that taking one set of shocks off and with a smaller sized tire the center of gravity would be lower making the truck less skittish. What about the Monster Beetle which is essentially the same chassis?

I think they are raceable, after re doing my shocks and some minor set up its like a different truck. The shocks are as plush as my savage. no bounce at all.

How about posting a little more information on what you did to the shocks and other. Even with just a smaller diameter tire the trucks should handle noticeably better. A smaller diameter wheel will extend the short wheelbase and lower the center of gravity making it a little more forgiving in turns.

both in my eyes
mt's can bash as well as race just like there full-size counterparts you just need to dial them in for what you need whether it be rock-crawling, freestyle or just out and out hardcore racing against each other
