Anyone have a tip on how to best tighten down the screw for the spur gear. Seems like you need 3 hands.

thanks alot

i usually hold the spur gear with some pliers and turn the nut down on the spur. its the easiest method ive seen.

Does anyone have the axial 28 engine in a monster gt? I wanted to know what all around gearing I should run. I was told a 49 tooth spur, but do I need to switch the clutch bell or leave the stocker in there? By the way, I'm going from the stock 21 engine to the axial 28 if that helps. Thanks

I say try out the stock and see what you think. Then if you want more top speed(which you probably will) jump up to a 18t or 19t pinion.

HAHA now docphysics thats what i call i SLOW race hehe. U gotto open that thing up dude. How u liking it mate? Compared to the revo? Any dramas yet?

scottywilkes

flipeter

scottywilkes

RPM sway bars? They make a arms but not sway bars. Any way heres some pics of mine







Will also notice the RPM knuckles i have installed also

O and heres some pics of a recent teardown. The pics above are of it when installed all back together

i have the axial in my truck and its a good engine. lately ive been having problems with the tune. i think i have to lean out my lsn and it should be better. im running the stock spur with the rrp slipper pads and the stock clutch bell. when i get around to it ill get some higher gears because my truck just flips on the lid even with the tune out of wack.

hey does anyone know where that tyre chart is, that has the weights of them etc? I need to see what the diff between the stock wheels, zombie maxx and big joe tyres is

flipeter

ya oops i ment gpm anti roll bars dones any one have them on there mgt as i cant figer out how the fit do i have to get rid of the bumpers??

scottywilkes

u have to have the alloy GPM a arms to get the roll bars to fit. They have an attatchement on them that the sway bars connect to. They wont work with any other a arms

cookie monster

i dont think any of us here have them on our trucks but have you tried putting them behind the shock tower? ive never seen them on the truck so im just taking a guess.

flipeter

ya tried that did not work

Hey Scotty! Yea, the track is to tight to crack the throttle more than a second or two. I love the MGT. It friggin rocks. I would take it over the Revo anyday. The MGT is so stable. The only thing I broke was the front bumper on one of those nose dives, but it just cracked a little. So I fixed it with a zip tie and now its bullet proof again.

Yea, I tuned that guys Revo right before we started filming. Its his first nitro so he is still learning.

I just figured out why I couldnt tighten down my spur gear screw. I dont have the friction pegs.
(Sigh)

Is this the best solution or is there a better slipper clutch arrangement out there for the mgt?
Anyone tried the RRP slipper?

NEPA_Scott

I have 2 mgt's, one with the RRP slipper, the other with plastics....

To be honest, I am unsure the value of the RRP slipper. It limits you to 54 tooth and costs around $30........Using the plastic ones they are $3 a piece, and I can select different gearing.....

So I personally am on the fence about it. I'm currently running a LRP Spec3 and an STS .30 and do not have a big problem with burning up slippers. I do tighten them down all the way though....

I am going to keep mine much tighter this time out, as I burnt a donut hole in this last spur.
I just forgot to check it last time out and so no mgt action for 2 weeks.
That will learn me

NEPA_Scott

I bought 4 or 5 different spur's from RCboyz on fleabay. Nice to have spares around and test different gearing.....I have also read about folks using washers instead of the pegs. I have not done so as I tighten them all the way down, minus 1/4 turn.

Hey does anyone know if the stock T-MAXX tires will fit on the MGT without having to buy it new hex adaptors for them and if i do, does anyone know what size they are. I looked i tower and in the info and it diddn't say what size they are.

Thanks

Well Im about to order a bunch of stuff from tower hobbies. Im ganna get proline bowtie 40 series with 40 series 6 spoke rims, another stock body only clear, masking sheet, the spur and pinion set (I think thats the gear I stripped http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXFTY5&P=7 ) Are those the plastic gears in the tranny????, and a few other things to go with it.

Alteramod

well never mind the stock body Im going with this http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXPTD6&P=0

farknben

Yeah they will fit. But dont you think they will "look kinda funny"?

Yo! scotty what kind of shock setup is that? would you run reds all around ? The one guy at the hobby shop told me just run stock arms they are tough, he also was saying to get a better header and run my stock exhust and bring it out the side. never saw anybody do this.
