MGT race setup?
What are you guys doing to your MGT's for racing. I have not even fired mine yet I know that I am going to put the forward only unit in it and that I am going to put the side exaust kit on it. Our track is a hard packed surface that is kind of dusty too. What do you guys reccomend as far as tires wheels and diff fluids for this type of track. thanks guys

RE: MGT race setup?
I just ran almost Gallon this weekend all stock except 40series dish/bowties by pro-line
These help in the corners! MGT needs a good set of treads I bent a rim so I would look into
a stronger rims for the 40 series or change to the 23mm hex, If you run a long track change gearing
for more top speed. And get the better steering kit I was told it gives it better turning radius!
Other than that I was out in front most of the time with slower motor!
And I'm getting side mounted tuned pipe!

Have Fun!!!

RE: MGT race setup?
The main thing i did to my mgt to make it way more race worthy was sold it and bought a LS
j/k shed weight any way you can! get it as low as you can! forward only trans! It's designed as a monster so your kinda limited if you wana make a full blown racing machine!

RE: MGT race setup?
which wheels and tires do I need I looked on tower and it is a little confusing as to which ones will fit the mgt. Do I need the proline hex adapters to run then ( dish wheels and bowties)

RE: MGT race setup?
ok guys so the proline dish wheels that are for the tmax that are off set provide more steering , did I read that right and the proline t
max bowties correct. This is where I was confused either the offset or the non offset
