She is coming....
just placed my order for a Nutech Mega Monster with no Tx/Rx with Scott from ZG RC. Sweet deal! Thanks Scott!
Now time to clean up, repair, and prep my Revo for sale
Maybe my 1/18th scale nitro Xray truggy and car too...
And maybe my MMGT 3.0
And maybe my Losi Speed NT too... Nah I think i need an asphalt basher so I'll keep this one
100ft power slides/skid marks are too fun to let go

RE: She is coming....
She is here! I'll post pics soon. Thanks again Scott from ZG RC, fast response, good prices, and fast shipping!~
I've seen FG MTs and Firehammers but for some reason this nutech felt bigger. It is large! Also the ford truck body looks like a toy on Nutechs website..... But in person the truck body looks good! It looks really small in the pictures and the paint scheme makes it look like a tonka/kids mini clone toy for like bob the builder. I'll work out a nice paint scheme to prove my point. The stock body looks good!
Also I'm going to scan the entire decal sheet and redo all the decals to look more realistic to the Ford truck its modeled after plus real ford badge.

RE: She is coming....
I'm let down
The throttle servo died within the first 8min and the steering is worse than a tractor. The steering servo is just too weak. I am SO glad I ordered the killer bee with next day shipping before I ran this truck.. It saved my ass today because the throttle servo goes to wot and keeps twitching at wot. I'm let down because tomorrow I wanted to run with my buddies and the weather will be nice for the weekend.
Any good replacement servos with metal gears, cheap, and reliable? I'm looking at hitec mg servos. I'm going to check and see if the hobby town 20min from me has any 1/4th scale servos or this other local hobby shop. Most shops around me only carry 1/8-1/10th parts.
I might even go futaba... I wonder why futaba servos are so cheap...
I;m eyeing this
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXYUM6&P=ML
for steering and something fast for throttle so I can have my nice pulsating brakes. gonna use the discount I get from tower hobbies membership.

Just get 2 x Hitec HS-5755MG for steering and throttle/brake I have been using one in my TB2 Pro car since they first come out and just as good as the more expensive Rhino digi-4

Thanks Scott! You are the best! BTW I need to send you a PM. I discovered something in my box :P
TBH I am used to stock servos failing on me. Only had 2 seize on me the fist few tanks and i've had 4 of them within the first gallon that physically got disconnected from the servos pcb. Shoddy soldering!! This happened with associated and traxxas servos. I will send you a pm about the servos, UPS says I should get them today
