RE: MGT
tell him to shim the pinion gears properly. it's supposed to make them 10x better.

back to the subject, I race everyweekend and on of the guys has an mgt, truck runs and handles good but he seems to toast a diff here and there. other than that it looks pretty good

Because it's obvious that they got their design inspiration from the Tmaxx. Same with the TNX. They may all be different trucks, but they share the same basic design. The same thing goes for the Spyder and Warhead comparisons to the Savage.
let me guess, you went into a lhs and bought a tmaxx becasue it was on the shelf or u saw it in a mag.
funny, i remeber tamiya had 4wheel independant suspension long before traxxas was even a name.
and as far as a copy, nothing, i mean nothing is built today that doesnt have an idea off of somthing else.
woo woo, look. your tmaxx as 4 wheels, its coping " insert name of favorite truck"
this is just a hobby guys/gals, whats it matter as long as it works.

Look, the guy asked why the MGT is compared to the Tmaxx so much. And like I said, it's because they are of the same basic design. I'm not an MGT hater.....I own one, and I like it. It's nothing special though. Just a decent truck at a decent price.
And yes, I bought the Tmaxx a few years ago because it was on the shelf at my LHS. I didn't have a computer at the time, so research was a non-issue for me. My LHS had a lot of parts for it, and they said it was the fastest truck they stocked.....so I bought it. It's given me alot of headaches over the years, and I rarely drive it anymore, but I learned alot from it.
I like the MGT better than the Tmaxx, but I like my LST better than either of them.

That's really odd. Mine is very durable. Then again, I'm not taking it off of 20' jumps... LOL (We've all seen your vids.)
What do you drive then that stands up to your abuse? And, don't tell me Genesis or Menace because those are both pieces of garbage. Savage? LST?

I am not a fan of the MGT. (yes I own one) I dont think its that durable, however its easy to work on. My MGT rarely see's dirt b/c it will just end up breaking.

The strongest thing I have is my KII, hands down. The menace is good b/c of the speed factor and air control. If it doesnt land right WATCH out, parts are flying every where. (to be honest the menace has held up great considering what it goes through) I dont own a savage...yet, but I think they are very strong. I am sure if I had one it would be high on the list. I dont know much about the Geni or the LST.
