Quick MTA4/MGT question.. What should I order?
I found a shop here in Germany that has like everything for MTA4's.
The stock MTA4 .28 costs like €460, and with RPM arms all around it works out to be about the same price as an LST2 stock.
So I'm really feeling like ordering the MTA4 right now.
If I do it though, what should I order all at one time?
So far I have:
1.) the truck
2.) RPM arms all around
3.) the little plastic thing that sticks off the exhaust
4.) 2 LRP/Nosram R5 medium/cold glow plugs
5.) 46 tooth spur gear (I want 40mph+!.. AND wheelies!)
6.) alu Nova adjustable clutch shoes (why, I don't know, but I do know that this truck will eventually be getting a bigger engine - probably something along the lines of the LRPP Z.28..)
So far that's it.
I want a roll-bar, but didn't see one on their site(www.hobbyfreun.de).
I also want an SUV body, but didn't see one for the MTA4..(can some of the others work?)
And do I need other bits to go with the RPM arms?
Anything else to make this thing TOUGH right from the beginning?
Anything smallish to kick up performance?
Right now my list is about €580 - I'd go up to €650 to start..
Those Powerstroke shocks are a bit expensive to start, but what do you think about these?:

Or maybe these:

RE: Quick MTA4/MGT question.. What should I order?
You are going to need the 18 tooth clutch bell if you want to run a 46 tooth spur. Otherwise the engine flywheel will hit the trans case. You can use a 49 tooth spur gear with the stock 16 tooth clutch bell though. The 18 tooth clutch bell with a 52 tooth spur is the same gear ratio that you would get if you could use the 16/46 combo.
A better tuned pipe will help the top end out. The stock pipe is for low end grunt.

You will need a better steering servo like the Hitec 645MG and if you can afford it get the
Team Associated optional aluminum steering bellcrank system.(big improvement over stock)
The RPM arms are great but get also the Lunsford titanium hingepins and turnbuckles sets.
