Highlights:

.26 engine! Should have a tad more torque than a .21 but it all depends on what engine were talking about. So I guess we cant say much till we look at em go.
From what I understand.. This MT will be cheaper than the BFT.. while actually giving you more!
This MT comes with everything you need including the glow plug and all. Only about 10 bucks.. but thats 10 bucks you dont have to spend extra! (for a first timer).

I wonder what the price will be. The dirt demon is actually pretty expensive (retail is like 500 bucks). Even if its 400 I'm not sure I'd buy it. I'd personally go for a rolling chassis, but I'd rather buy the MGT over the Hotbodies if theyre the same price.
Now TA.. RELEASE THE DAMN THING!!
