If he means that the LST is expensive to maintain, err, then he's right. Still a very good truck though.

please elaborate on what you mean when you say black hole? My LST2 is on the way and all i hear are good things?

the lst2 is a black hole when it comes to maintenance. the mgt is the opposite. the mgt might not be as good out of the box but the layout makes up for the radio not being as good... who keeps the stock radio anyways? i dont. i have a spektrum.
with a few minor upgrades the mgt can easily be as good as the lst2.

can you elaborate on that????? how are the parts on the lst2 any more expensive than any other truck. i can just about rebuilt 1/3of the truck for 100.00.lets see you buy 4 mgt axles and a arms for that price

Arms, hubs and shocks all look similar.. other than that, they don't look alike at all IMO.. [sm=50_50.gif] .. Tranny, engine, chassis, diffs, bumpers, skids, rims/tires, body, SIZE, etc. - all look nothing alike between the 2 trucks.. and the motor is mounted sideways on the MGT....

good point tranny they use the same shifting fork and the slipper pegs are a direct fit. there are more similarities just to be a coincidence.

RE: MGT vs. LST2
I think my mgt is a great truck, I don't think it breaks a lot. The lst2 is a great truck to and also cost a lot more. stuff does break on my trucks but I run them and have lots of fun doing it. I had some fun with a t-maxx and a revo racing my mgt and I don't think the revo is that much faster then the mgt at least not the one I was bashing with. your bud just got a bad truck it sucks but it does happen. The guy with the t-maxx is fixing more then running and wants to get the MGT, he got so pissed one time that he put it in the trash he cooled off and picked it out.

RE: MGT vs. LST2

Got some videos to prove otherwise? The MGT I've seen likes to break all the time... I'd love to see one that doesn't... since I've had such limited exposure to the MGT, it may be just my friend's MGT, and his friend's MGT... they both complain about breaking all the time and were very impressed by my Revo and how tough it was... you've obviously had a different experience... I'd love to see it.

RE: MGT vs. LST2

well theres a few for you
Have u ever driven a MGT? Or owned one? No i dont think so. Maybe your mates are just really bad drivers, because i can say the revos i bash against, seem to always break before the MGT, ive got 10gal on the truck now, still on stock engine, and all ive broken is a rear tower, and a few transmission parts from the fun at the BMX tracks

So, the last time you went rounds with the MGTers, it was just your friend that had an MGT (note: not plural).. now he has a friend too?, with a MGT that's breaks all the time also..? ... Wow, now it just seems like you're trying too hard to make a point.. maybe even to the point of blemishing the truth?
and... why are we doing this again? wasn't it enough that you got last time..? ....

P.S. What does it serve me to blemish truth to prove the MGT to not be a good truck... I don't care. I'd love it if all trucks were created equal... then there wouldn't be so much bickering on these threads. Unfortunately, they're not... OH... and by the way.. I didn't notice you defending the T-maxx... although I said the same thing about it... WHO CARES?

Why does this always turn out to be against me?

The question of this thread is MGT or LST2... my opinion just happens to be that the LST2 is better than the MGT
I have the right to dislike it and voice my opinion on a thread that is asking for it (of course, it was a rehashed thread from someone that doesn't like to obey rules and spout off things he has no clue about)
Yes, last time I went bashing with an MGT'er... it was my friend... BUT... his friend (who bought the MGT at the same time as my friend did) also has issues... and they both want to sell 'em to get a different truck, or get out of the hobby altogether.
OH... and by the way.. I didn't notice you defending the T-maxx... although I said the same thing about it...
Guys like you drive me nuts because you obviously don't know what you're talking about.. it's a little annoying. There are a few areas that need to addressed on the MGT stock - just like every other truck, including your precious Revo! (which surprisingly seems to break in all the vids you've posted.. go figure.)... if your "friend" would have browsed the MGT forum 1st, those areas that need to be addressed with the MGT are easily fixed, for next to nothing (if anything)
So, instead of being negative, and 'anti-MGT', why don't you try to be a better friend and go show him the ropes on the internet? let him know that there's a forum for his truck, that can help him solve the few simple issues? huh?... [&:]

RE: MGT vs. LST2
yeah, scottie, you remember my MGT vs Savage thread. I say to go with the MGT, nice dourable, racing vehicle... the LST2 will have more expensive parts sice it is "team Losi" while the MGT will have cheaper parts since it is only "Assocated". I say to go with the MGT (personal opinon here). mini t
