I will start off-



Modded parts-

Shaved every other nub off of the stock Maxx tires. ( sorry no pic, the camera isnt working).
Drive shaft durability mod, where I took and extra piece of male half shaft, and put it on the exposed female half shaft, to help prevent twisting.


Custom made parts-

Custom built rear A-Arm guards, made steel sheet metal.
Custom built full center skid plate, made from steel sheet metal.
Custom built front aluminum bumper, made from 1/4'' aluminum rod stock.

I got a mod costum made my lst2 pipe to fit on my mgt.
FYI i dont use the header no more.

Krawlin

NICE! I take it you use AE's side header for the MGT? I got a spare if you want one... PM me if your interested.

Just made some dual rate springs using some old copper colored/ extra firm Monster GT springs, some wire cutters, and a pair of vice grips. Here are some pictures--

made some shocks fit my thunder tiger st1 and a few extra parts for a second servo for it

HA muggy shocks on a ST-1! I love my stocker shocks though.

Krawlin

Thats actually pretty dang cool! How do those muggy shock work for you? I take it they soak up the bumps pretty well? I would put some on my E-Maxx, but the spaces on the upper A-Arms arent big enough, and I would have to cut them, and that would make them too weak.

Snaut Rocket

i would love to do that to my mgt.

Krawlin

I was thinking of some LST2 shocks on my MGT as well... I am pretty sure they would fit.

Snaut Rocket

go to monster gt .com and check out the lst2 shock mod there. Its not that easy compared to theres.

Krawlin

I couldnt find it... got a link? I did a forum search and came up empty handed.

Snaut Rocket

here you go they stop building it
after 8 pages.

Now thats what I call some hard core mods! Now I dont think it would be worth it to even try that...

Snaut Rocket

ya but would still love to try it.

jombo

actually there not muggy shocks their smaller lol. these are after shock shocks , i cut the cyclinder and the piston to fit the st1 here are the cut parts i call it chop cut rebuild lol. by traxxas standards (when they come out with a new engine they say its 60 or 50 %more hp)these shocks are 35% longer (6mm lol) than stock and more oil to boot.

jombo

they are the same size as the mgt shocks and could work for it too but havent tried it yet

Snaut Rocket

did you read the link i posted. theres alot of work involved in getting them to work. (properly)

jombo

what there trying to do is make a mount that goes between the 2 shock positions ,thats the part that is causing problems. this shock that i cut will fit (well maybe) in one shock position . the lst2 shock tower is a almost a direct fit for the mgt i will post some pics of mine with it, the lst2 or the aftershock shocks are too long to fit but if you cut them like i did with the st1 they should fit

mugen mbx5t gas tank mgx5t wing and mount losi 8t wheels and a .28 motor on a cen nemesis

Snaut Rocket

Man that thing just does not look right.
it sits to low for a nemsis

Krawlin

DUDE YOU TOOK THE .46 OUT OF THE NEMISIS!? AND THEN YOU MADE IT THAT LOW!? DUDE, THATS JUST NOT RIGHT! THATS DOWN RIGHT COLD!!!.


Just curious, but why the .28 in that truck? .46 have too much power?

Snaut Rocket

from the looks of it he probably wanted to race it.
i dont see that .46 holding up very well on the track.

Krawlin

Why not? Well, maybe it doesnt pull high enough RPM's? Too much wheelspin?
