Default RE: Cen GST 7.7 or MGT 8.0

I own a Nemesis, GST and a MGT 4.6 with a LRP spec 3 and I like all three equally. All three are Equal in durabitilty, maintenance and fun. They all have thier week points and good points.

Mgt bad points 1. The transmission and drive train can use some beefing up. the driveaxles snap, and the pins inside the tranny snap, and the
spur gear melts aropund the pressure plates
2. Wheels strip on the rim around the hex
3 Can be a pita when trying to remove the diffs

MGT good points 1. A great package for the money
2. Can take a beating, the stucture of the chassis is strong and holds up very well
3 it's Fast
4. The plastic parts are strong, I have not broken any suspension arms or shock towers.
5. Reverse

Nemesis bad points 1. A little pricey
2. wheel axles need to be upgraded, the stock ones are thin and snap, for the price of the truck they should be included.
3. Stock servos are a little on the weak side.
4. Not a great beginner truck


Nemesis strong points 1.TVP design, strong and durable
2. Can be a little easier to work on than the MGT
3 Strong and powerful .46 engine
4. Plastic is strong, I have only broken one suspension arm.
5. Fast for a truck it's size

GST bad points 1. plastic front drive shaft can not handle the massive torque of the 7.7 engine, requires up grade to nemesis parts
2. reverse shifter is weak and snaps easily
3 Not A great beginner truck
4. Can be a pita to get third gear
5. More expensive than the Nemesis

GST good points 1. TVP design
2. 3 speed transmission
3 reverse
4. Fast
5. biggest baddest basher out there
6. Better and improved .46 engine
