My buddy and his son have two. They are new to nitro and the MGT 4.6 has ben a good truck for them. Seems very durable, easy to tune and keeps a tune and runs great. They never monitor the temps or anything like that, they just go out and run them. The one truck has 6 gallons through it since Xmas. They have had some breakages, but they are beating the crap out of them and it's normal to break stuff. Other than breaking a-arms, bumpers, shock caps came off, they have lost some shafts because of pin screws coming loose. Now that they loctite them they are good.

I have not driven it but I have seen them run and I was impressed.

If I was to get a 1/8 big block MT it would be the MGT. I have a Revo and like it, I have a Revo 3.3 on order.

I would say buy it.
