Ill ansewer for Scotty, he wont mind .

Those are Pro-Line Power Stroke shocks. There probably the best shocks you will find for an MGT. But they are getting hard to find as they are no longer being made. And them bad boys are pricey at that. About $100+ is a decent price for used ones.

For the stock shocks all red springs or red and copper combo work good for bashing.

The stock arms are pretty tough but the RPMs are alot tougher.

The side header will give you a little noticable increase and alot of people do it. Still the best performance increase you can get aside from a new motor is the FOC. IMO

That body is too small (it's the 1/10 scale, MGT is 1/8th). You need to get this one: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...p?&I=LXJGR0&P=

MrN8

I want that info, too. I've got a set of 40-series velocities w/bowties on them, but for bashing I want a more aggressive tire. The stock tires are great for bashing, but they have too much give on the sides, plus the extra 1/2" of width that the Velocity wheels give you adds some nice stability.

yeah they do look funny but im going to dye them black, plus there only 9 bucks and i need new wheels because i stripped my stock ones.

cookie monster

you should go for some rpm offset wheels. they make the truck more stable and they look better.

Evader ---> MGT

And t-maxx wheels in the back and stockers up front or vise versa will look really stupid IMO.

ferrariowner123

well thats why im going to buy 4 of them and i really think it would look bad mix up that but there so cheap that wont be a problem, and i really dont like the style wheels that RPM puts out on the market and i was going some of the tips in the monstergt fourum and found that stock T-Maxx giving you a greater turing radius but only buy about 5º but still 5º is better that none.

HA HA HA HA HA! Still not close to the $900 he said he would get! OOOPS!

poor guy he really wanted it for 600 or more. hey doc i saw the vid you posted of the mgt and the revo. nice vid but the guy driving the revo needs some practice.

art_vandalay

I just can't get over those side pipes. They look hot glued!! I think most anyone would be very hesitant to buy something so modified.........I know I would.

Alteramod

I went with the 40 series because They will offer alot more stability than stock and dont put more pressure on parts like the offset do. As for the body I will be able to get it to fit. The MGT bodies by factory are under the 1/8 scale but that one you listed is also found under the 1/10 scale. If it says it will fit a savage then it will fit the mgt. Thats what I go by anyways. Maybe I just kicked myself in the but by getting it but I will let you all know.

Alteramod

Hey man you may want to look again. If you are getting stock t-maxx tires and rims they will hit worse. Its the wide offset rims you want that dont hit at all. The 40 series hits a little but doesnt restrict movement. The MGT stockers hit and restrict a little.

docphysics

Thanks dude! I hope you liked the vid! Yea, the Revo guy needs some more practice.

Its only been up on youtube a few days and already has over 200 views, so I hope people are enjoying it.

Killer wheelie back-flip!

Yeah that was a pretty good video.

i am having problems with my mgt that i cant seem to diagnose so ive come to the experts. it seems to have problems shifting from forward to reverse. I wanna try to solve the problem with losing reverse, and going with the f.o.c. So if there is anything i can upgrade that would prove beneficial to the performance in respect with shifting forward to reverse. this is where i come for all my technical problems, thx.

cookie monster

do you stop all the way before shifting? sometimes if my batts are low it is hesitent to shift. the FOC will solve all of those problems.

scottywilkes

Get the FOC and be happy. The FOC was one of my best upgrades, havnt had a problem since that

460 red

I have the monster mgt 460 with the .28 Most awesome site I have ever seen at full throttle.

MGT's suck the big one traxx all the way.... ya ****ing right i love mgts got one of my own and its a great truck and by the way anyone who hasnt tryed it in snow has to i wrapped a peice of cloth aroung the motor to keep it warm and the truck just flyes through the powder and is a ton of fun trying to climb a hill with close to a foot deep snow drifts

NewfieNitro

I went skiing on good friday so not much to do today besides waterproof the MGT and take her out again! The snow is starting to melt around here so theres some water around but I should be good if I put balloons on the servos, receiver, and batts right? Im just breaking it in on a damp road anyways not going swimming or anything Also I am concerned about the power switch on my truck how am I suppost to waterproof that? I was thinking stretch a small balloon over it and try to squeez it into its slot. I should still be able to turn it on and off then.

Pyrotechnic

i might be getting powerstrokes off ebay and i need to know what a fair price is, what a good price is, and what a bad price is.

scottywilkes

are they new? then they can go up to about 160 US without shipping

If 2nd hand about 100 to 130 US
