I don't think it would be much of a challenge stock vs. stock against a Revo 3.3 (on the track at least), but we haven't even seen a body off shot, or any reviews of it, so who knows...

I'm sure glad it's a 1/10 and not a 1/12 like the Hammer though, that woulda' sucked IMO [:'(] already kinda sucks that they went smaller...

i think its going to be tougher than the savy. Its alot lighter than the mgt so less prone to break.

but also the parts are alot thinner, less weight, but smaller parts. So more easily breakable

yea i meant any revo could smoke it. It doesnt look like a race truck. I think its aimed at the mt2 and the hot bodies gt 10 or whatever its called. I think if it was overpowered it could be a lot of fun though, thats why i suggested an os tz.

I also wish they had done a redesigned mgt. Not so much bigger, but i have always wanted an MGT yet never bought one because it never seemed to accel in any category. They are stronger than a t-maxx but weaker than a savage, also slower than a savage. I think it would be cool if they stuffed a bigger faster tougher engine in there, something like the LRP .28 hmmm that would make the MGT quite desirable, just food for thought

Ya really That pipe on there looks funky, Looks square. Might have to have to get a traxxas resanator pipe for it. I think its going to be very capable of a high racer.

got to the track today after sum problems from bad fuel got it going.all i can say isgot a grin from ear to ear this thing flys.couldnt run the whole track as there was water in the middle. but it was giveing the truggys a good run.all the truggys had 28s or 32 was keeping up with the top ones and passing the others down the long back straight.only real problem was the tyres couldnt get enough grip but when u did hook up u had to be careful not to flip it over on its back

anybody have a good guess how fast this mini mgt will be. I am concerned with it being a PIG. I wish Associated put more info or videos of their trucks on their site like the other big players in the industry.
