I would not let LHS support make your choice for you! The only thing I buy from the LHS is Paint, Bodies, Masking, Fuel, Glow Plugs (from time to time). All the rest I buy online! I like to support the LHS's but, price and selection online can't be beat.

I have a mgt and I like it. I am waitting for parts rite now as I rolled it pretty good a buch of timesw and the motor mount screw was lost and the motor shifted and the gear got chewed up. I have only had this 2-3 weeks and I love it though. I can not do wheelies thougha dn i would like to. I think the .26 motor might help that be achieved. I will buy after christmas. I think it is awsome and I would like to get another mgt if I could. It is spactious. lots of room on board. But this is my first MT ever, I like helicopters and I traded two micro helicopters for this.

I also have a TNX and recommend it, If you get one you might want to buy different shocks. I bought some Traxxas Big Bores (paid $50.00 for them on ebay) and used the Tamiya shock caps to assemble them, and haven't had any problems since. Thats all you really have to do. Its fast, jumps great and doesn't break what more could you ask for?

I just used the stock big bore caps with my big bores... Dunno why you'd take plastic caps over aluminum...[&:] They may fit on the truck better but I bet they'll pop off quicker than aluminum caps.

i would also recomend the tnx, if you like buying most of the parts, hopups online. i have it, havent rly broken anything except a bulkhead and a-arms, but lets face it, its a RC its kinda hard for it NOT to break. both times i broke a part was when i was testing. but both parts did not stop me from driving, the bulk head, i just put a screw in to hold it in place and i went driving agian. the a-arm broke right at the end were the shaft is, didnt stop me either i was still doing 40mph down the street, and not came apart or got lost. i like to drive my cars to there fastest capitbilites aka WOT all the time. going slow aint me. just ask the guys at the track they kno how fast i drive.
if not the tnx, i would also recomend the MGT, heard a couple bad things, but face it ITS LIFE. the truck sounds rly durable. with lots of aftermarket from AE, not so much from other companies as savage has.
what all do are you going to do with this agian? (if you mentioned this b4, dont restate it, i will read the text)

some of the vids may get boring, but i was newbie when i made the first few vids ( im my last vid the sound quality isnt too good) and looking at the vid again, it seems like im running my TNX a little on the rich side.

Jerry: The stock Mgt with it's big block only goes 35.4 mph. The stock TNX with it's SMALLBLOCK goes 39.23 mph. Need I say more?

The TNX's engine puts out tons of power though, All im saying is that if you break in the .18 that it comes with, you may think twice about going BB.

I have one question..
Why does nobody seem to have truggies anymore? They are fast, durable, and handle really good. I was amazed when I bought my pirate, with the picco comp it accelerates like a rocket and is blazing fast. Turns sharper than most 1/10 scale cars I have owned.
BTW
To do the 4 spider gear modification in your savage's differentials, here are the parts:

Hope this helps.
