i have a lst2 and a revo, i love both trucks. im looking for a truck for my son he wants to bash. ive looked at them all. they all have good points a bad. i want to get him a good one for christmas.

Team Associated MGT is the best bang for your buck MT out IMO , you have an LST2 already , might want to look into an Aftershock , but it does not have reverse like the MGT .

My MGT has the original motor in it with almost 8 gallons through it and it still starts and runs like a swiss watch . VERY easy to tune also .

i got a freind that has the mt2 damn that thing is fast but it seems kinda weak for bashing. i just bought a lrp engine for my lst2. i like Team Associated so far. i will have to read more on the MGT it is big. will it do wheelies ? he wants that to and since its so big what bodies will fit it, my son will mess them up im sure. oh yea it needs to fit a tiger drive too.

KRO

No , the MT2 is a stadium truck , this is the MGT ....

Its the same size as your LST2 , and it will do wheelies . Any body that will fit your LST2 should fit the MGT .....

so far the only thing i dont like about it is the 1 servo steering, also needs a tiger drive, i will look that up to see if 1 will fit, i trashed the ez start on the revo for 1 i love them. from now on when i order a rc i will order a tiger driver for it at the same time. it says its got a hex / drill starter on it, is it 6 mm it dont say what will fit it

KRO

Dont let that throw you , its like an 180 oz metal gear servo , I have never had a problem with it ......

KRO

You can use any cordless drill to start it .

budweiser45331

well the reason i say that the revo and lst2 have 2 servos for steering and i have had problems with both of them, but they are only 80 oz

budweiser45331

so far from what you have told me and what im reading about it that will be the truck he gets

KRO

Yeah , the Traxxas servos 2055's are JUNK ! I had 2 fail on me in my JATO ......

KRO

It really is a good truck , there are better (you own 2 that are) but for a kid to bash around its hard too beat ....

tower carries alot of parts for them too another +

he wanted a jato i almost got that for him till the other night i asked him if he wants to run trucks and he said yea and before i got them out he was setting up the ramp so i asked him, if i buy you a truck what do you want to do with it. he said jump it, so i said the jato is out now lol 370 !!! that price is looking very good too

budweiser45331

oh yea hes only 12 lol but he does good with the trucks i have so its time to get him 1 of his own

budweiser45331

My Feedback: (1)

I jumped the heck out of my MGT when i had mine... back flips, you name it... i'd break a few tie rods here and there, the RPM A-Arms where the most popular upgrade, but since then, i think the MGT has been updated a bit with the bigger engine, not sure if the RPM A-Arms are still as popular. There's a trick for the controller too to get more out of the stock servo, something about switching it to the Aux plug instead of the steering one... something like that, gets a higher voltage to it or something. I'm sure the pros here can bust out with the details... I also had a TNX... which is an amazing truck, but eventhough the TNX was faster, turned better, and overall, did everything better, the MGT just looked WAY cooler due to it's size and cool looking stock tires... i don't know why, but i just love the look of the truck when it's running.

I have the MGT and it's a lot of fun and takes a good beating, MGT, aftershock or savage are all great mt's for under $400.I think my MGT is stronger then my savage and I break stuff on both trucks but I bash hard and I'm very happy with both trucks.
