RE: ?wut to do to make a mgt a basher?
RPM A-arms front and rear
zip ties for bumpers
Titanium turnbuckles (or just keep a few extra front and rear when you go out bashing)
extra body mount posts
maybe an extra hub carrier or 2
some say engine mount, never had a problem myself
MGT is definitely one of the best bashers out there, you won't be disappointed, weakest parts in my opinion are the A-arms and the turnbuckles, everything else is pretty good.
