Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / April 2006new AE monster GT
I just got my monster gt from a hobby shop this weekend. It is the new 4.6cc version. I am looking at it right now on top of my big old 70's TV. It is clean and unscratched and huge as hell compared to my rc10gt. It is a hell of a lot bigger than a tmaxx. I hope to have a chance to break it in this week and give it a good run around. Ill follow up in a few days. Anybody have comments on this truck? Its my first monster. > Anybody have comments on this truck? http://beatyourtruck.com/index.html is there a place on that site where whole vehicles are reviewed? > > Anybody have comments on this truck? > > http://beatyourtruck.com/index.html http://www.rcuniverse.com/ Try here > is there a place on that site where whole vehicles are reviewed? > >> > Anybody have comments on this truck? >> >> http://beatyourtruck.com/index.html I broke the engine in and ran it a few tanks through it. It was a blast. I did something stupid tho. I ran it up and down a ditch and it popped a wheelie and went over backwards. I didnt have the body on at the time and it scratched the head. It sucks that I scratched the new blue anodized head. Is there any way to fix it without buying a new head? I dont think that it will happed with the body on. Oh! and is there a ford f250 or f350 body that will fit on it well? Thanks. >I broke the engine in and ran it a few tanks through it. It was a > blast. I did something stupid tho.

Any of the Atomik F250/350 bodies should fit as well as the HPI F250/350 bodies. In fact, pretty much any 1/8 scale body should fit pretty well with a lil' trimming here and there. No way to "fix" the scratch without buying a new head but don't worry, it'll get way more mangled than it is right now as time progresses. I remember my first scratch on my first nitro head..............I was so upset. Now, my heads are all scratched up and I could care less. If you have a blue sharpie marker laying around, you can color-in the scrateched area and it'll look pretty decent. If you run some zip ties thru the top fins you can prevent most smaller scratches, although huge wipeouts will pop the ties off and still damage the head. Find the vertical notches in the head and run the zip ties horizontally thru them, going between the top two horizontal fins of the head. This works well on most motors but I had some issues with the Mach 26 head as it's odd shape at the top makes zip-tieing more difficult. Doc >>I broke the engine in and ran it a few tanks through it.

Actually, 1/8th scale Sav bodies look crap on the MGT - they're just too small - speaking from personal experience :-) I'd recommend getting one of the bigger bodies, made for the LST/MGT by Proline and the like.
