lovely bit of kit my mate tells me he changed his shocl oil to 20wt as the fg original was way out shocks were near solid.
he loves his as much as i do my MB andMARDER so must be good especialy for him to give it thumbs up.

Got to get a battery shut off switch first thing tomorrow before I can give it a try. Then I got to paint the body. How far off was the front toe on your truck?

OblongMushroom

looking forward to hearing about your maiden run.

I could not stop playing when I ran my first 5th scale a few weeks ago!

Hope this monster is even more fun

Ran my MT for the first time this morning. It was only a nice gentle run up and down my back lane to settle everything down and make sure everything worked as it should. Zenoan 26 fired up straight away and ran like a dream. Only running at a max of half throttle to begin with and even so the thing flies. Engine was good and strong, brakes were good and powerfull and the steering with the Hitec 5745 is fantastic. So far everything is great. Now to the suspension.......... its crap. It is far too hard. A quick change of oil in the shocks and the MT now handles much better. In short the MT is a fantastic truck in every way except the hard suspension. Sort that out and you have one hell of a beast. I cant wait to get this thing run in so I can give it some real grief. I will keep you posted.

I agree, the suspension is very hard... Another thing that I would like is to raise the truck an inch higher so the suspension can actually travel some more to soak up the bumps and so it can clear some bigger obstacles without scraping the chassis like the savage ss 4.6 that my bro just bought plus a fully closed gearbox to keep debree from ruining the gears as a standard equipement.

The MT-5 is THE truck to buy no doubt now if only FG will send the replacement rachet for the pullstart which broke after the second tank. Everyone I called is out of stock on this item including the small engine shops where I live. It's unreal! [:@]
