And here's a pic of the mod from the other forum, on stock knuckles...

They also make a set for the Tmaxx, so those should fit the MGT...

but.... I think you'll run into the same problem as trying to run Dace adapters with 4.6 axles, not enough space and binding.. I could be wrong though..

edit... I was posting during your edit...[&:]

scottywilkes

its so dam annoying, nothin frieking fits the dam 4.6 axles. I want 17mm hexes and i want them wheels, but i got no dam way to fit the stupid things, this is the most thing i am annoyed with the MGT, why the hell would they change something that works fine to bl00dy start with. I feel like strangling the guy who said, hey lets change the axle pin location, DUM *****

duckedup

LOL...frustrated?

just pick up a older MGT roller and you'll be set ... and hope it wasn't like mine, only coming with 2 out of 4 .21 axles......

scottywilkes

i would if i had the dam money, i could seriously kill the dam dude who made the decision to change the axles, thats hom FRUSTRATED I AM. Most stupid decision on the MGT i think

this is the longest thread I have ever seen... its insane... 4800 replies...

Alteramod

actually yours was number 4,802 reply and this one will be 4,803 reply = ). Haha any ways I'm ganna have to get some offset wheels and new tires to go with em now that i seen that in the mgt forums. Pretty good stuff im glad i finally took a look.

NewfieNitro

Quick question and probally a dumb one but just so im sure. Will these wheels http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXFNF7&P=&I Fit on my stock hexes?

EDIT: also I guess any 40 series tires will fit those wheels right?

cookie monster

well guys there are a few threads longer than this. the duratrax evader had 2 versions that are over 200 pages each.

yes offset wheels are the way to go. they are much more stable and they look better than the stockers.

Wide Open

yep, those will fit. they fit 14mm hex adapters.

CTDave

My Feedback: (1)

Yes they fit very nicely,I run them with the offset and Losi zombies they handle great.

Ok guy’s, why doesn’t the MGT have its on Drop down. There are over 250 single threads just in this RC Monster Trucks category. I don’t get it? What do we need to do to get recognized?

hey guys does the fuel tank on the mgt work when you tip over. cause it said on a roll over it switches to bottom feed does it really work

farknben

Yes it works. The tank had duel pick-up lines. 1 in the bottom 1 in the top. I flipped mine once about 100 yards away from me and it continued to run fine. Just dont drive your truck 100 yards away from yourself ......thats a long ways for an old outta shape guy like me to run......er...jog

I got the robo brake disk for my MGT. Since my transmission was taken apart and put back together, I had to redo the two screws that hold the brake pad and metal plates to it. Here's the tricky part: I'm trying to find the right adjustment with those screws. I don't remember how they were set from the factory out of the box.

I replaced the spring on the brake linkage with fuel tubing of the same length. I have the two screws set so when it's in idle, the brake disc is free. On throttle, it's more free. When the brake is applied, the brake pad is squeezed, but the truck isn't stopping as well as it did when I first got it. I'm trying to get it so the brake pad is free and won't rub and glaze over, but will stop quickly when needed.

The LHS guy said that it should be set so the metal plates are really close to the brake pad, so that I can slip in a business card. Not sure if he meant one card, or one on each side of the brake pad. Is that how close I should tighten the screws?

Will battery power on the receiver affect this too? My hump pack needs to be recharged. I tried AA batteries, and I think I can see how they're not as strong as the battery pack.

farknben

Ewanni- make for sure both screws are set the same length out, if there not even it will adversely effect the breaking. And the pad should be about 1mm from the disc when the radio is at neutral.

Evader ---> MGT

I like to have my truck have a little brakage at an idle, so if I lose control, it will still come to a stop. Screw it in a little and that should help. Also, yeah, keep em even, I learned that after hours of messing around too.

Ewanni

Cool, then this is normal maintenence then. I charged up the hump pack, works stronger. I'll adjust the screws a bit and try it tomorrow.

Thought you guys might want to see a JATO body I just finished ........







What do you guys think ?


Ewanni , the Robo disk SHOULD make your truck endo if its too tight , mine works almost too well ......

Ewanni

Endo as in flip forward?

I have the metal plates I think a tad bit loose, especially on full throttle. But it's okay because I can adjust the Lo ATV dial on the transmitter. The linkages are set exactly as seen in the instruction manual, the spring on the brake linkage replaced by fuel tubing of the same length. I may tighten the screws on the brake plates a tad bit, making sure they're equal, if I need to. I think this will go just fine. [8D]

Alteramod

hey man the jato body looks nice. Im going to have to try and paint one myself.... I like makeing designs and stuff (not to bad if i may say so) Im thinking of a rip away paint job or something of that nature.

Wide Open

like this? that would look good on an MGT.

KRO

Exactly ! The first time I ran my truck after I put the Robo disk on it did a COMPLETE forward flip at about 15-20 mph ! I thought I had hit something in the road at first !

Ewanni

Wow, I'll have to be careful then. I have it set on robo disk and replaced the spring with fuel tubing. I ran it a little but still didn't have the screws in enough. I adjusted it and I also have the Lo ATV dial on the transmitter to adjust if needed. I'll definitely be careful when I try it out today.

Alteramod

Yeah something like that..... But instead of it being half and half it would be more only the front third of the truck true blue and the back third true white.... the middle is is where the blue would be tearing away fading into the white.
