RE: fg mt any prob's ?
The moast robust fg is the beetle shell. You can jump em, bounce em, roll em etc and they take one hell of a beating without too much dammage.
The mt's need a few mods to make em less prone to bounce. Moast comon change is the oil in the shocks. Standard oil is too heavy and causes an unstable ride.
I had broken a shock tower in the first hour runing mine in along with a cracked shell.
And the car wernt being abused.
My beetle on the other hand has been air bourne, landed on the roof and taken a beating without any shell damage.
If you intend to get a monster truck, get the new beetle based on the mt chasis with the twin shocks, you will have the best of both worlds then.
Just my opinion
