RE: wanting to buy an FG
im thinking about the MT or the stadium truck coming out later this year. but im still not sure. is it all metal construction, or does it have plastic suspension parts? plus, i was really wanting 4-wheel drive, but i didn't see an FG with that type drivetrain. its gonna be a little while yet before i get it (like february) so maybe they may come out with one buy that time.

Buy a FG MT !! 
BTW i will hold off on the 4wd conversion until further testing from others. If you bash and do high jumps like i do then i would definilty go with a 2wd since there are fewer parts to break in a bad crash. I can send you videos of our FG monster truck in action but either way all FG are very similar in terms of chassis design. If you get a marder or leoapard and put on Monster truck wheels and tires then you could possibly have the best of both worlds.

RE: wanting to buy an FG
im not planning on doing many high jumps. the most i'd do is thrash the local BMX track. if its anything like what i do with my RC10B4, it shouldn't be to hard for me to up my skill. plus, as far as bashing goes, i've gotten to the point that i dont break too many parts now, with my 1:10 models anyways. if anyone has any videos, send them to "[email protected]" i'd like to see some off-roaders in action.

add me to your msn and i will send you some videos and clips of us beating our FG MT around. If the MT can handle our bashing then any FG model will do fine as they are less clumsy then the Monster trucks.

pawraith,
i'll add u to my msn if you want more videos and pics. Mind you some are just clips of us from warming up to bashing so don't think we drive 10mph all day long

I'm not much into the smaller STs, but the FG ST looks [8D]

I'm with you on that man. When I saw the Jato in RCCA magazine I thought it looked really cool. Then I saw one at the LHS and thought it was very small. Probably didn't help that I had just gotten my MT-5 though
