Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / September 2006Ooops!!! :( Anyone know a good divorce lawyer?
Email to my LHS: OK, I can't take the pain any more. I can't eat, sleep or speak. Each time I go out and see a truck on the road I start to shake and cry, before collapsing like a big wobbling idiot on the ground. All my friends laugh at me - I keep making monster truck noises in the office, I have even painted my my mouse orange, attached some mini wheels and a MacDonald's straw for an aerial. Last night, in bed with Claire, I tried to find her pull start, I even had a litre of Nitro ready to go - she was not amused...clearly things can't go on this way! Please get her ready to go, I will be collecting in the next two hours!!! I presume you will be more than happy to give me your web price? :) Considering this is my third MAJOR purchase in TWO weeks, and considering I ALSO have my eye on the Schumacher Havoc :) This is the baby I want today though, I'm going to call her Rachel: [insert picture of MTA4 here] Can you give me the bit I need to start drilling her immediatly? Thanks be onto you sir! Gary. > Email to my LHS: > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Thanks be onto you sir! Hahah nice dude. And it comes with the required parts for drilling ;-) Good choice, it's always good to buy something your LHS stocks as well because even though spares are cheaper online, sometimes you need them urgently. You'll love the sound of the MTA shifting gear.  SignatureDan > Hahah nice dude.

I know I have sort of gone against the group advice of getting the savage, but I did loads of reading other forums and review sites, and the one thing going for the MTA is that for a noob, it's the easiest to maintain and access all the bits... I am more than happy to buy another truck on a month or two, and for some reason the Schumacher Havoc won't leave my thoughts!!!! Will get the duck tape and video cam attached ASAP! Gary. >> Hahah nice dude.

The MTA is a fine vehicle and is a LOT easier to work on for a newb. The Savage is a PITA sometimes - it's the design that makes it hard to work on, but also gives it it's strength. The MTA is *very* tough though and as a newb you'll think you're bashing it hard when really - you'll be like only giving half the abuse it can take ;-) Give it a month or so before you really see just how tough these things are. By some odd coincidence my mate just picked up a second hand MTA for £80, in need of a few parts and repairs - we've got most of the spares together and the LHS does have some TTR spares so we're hopeful of striking it lucky in a run this afternoon... Good luck with it dude. And get some pics up :D May I recommend as a first mod 23mm hexes and some Cheyenne (I think they're the ones) wheels with Big Joe tyres - they look SWEET on an MTA. SignatureDan > Good luck with it dude.

Any links you hve to these items are appreciated, I will ask the guy at the LHS too :) Are wheels easy to replace? G. >> Good luck with it dude.

Yea just unbolt the old ones and bang the new ones on. 23mm Hexes are just bigger adaptors, stock is a 14mm hex in the wheel can strip easier than the 23's. http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=ShowSpecification&ItemID=24163 pair of the wheels. http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=ShowSpecification&ItemID=14367 pair of the tyres for the wheels. http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=ShowSpecification&ItemID=20650 and you'd need 2 pairs of these :-) And probably the 23mm wrench. As you can see, not cheap. But, they'd look cool, and the stock MTA has HHUUUUGGGGEEE thick tyres that are really bad for the handling in my experience, lot of body roll - but they do soak up landings from big air and again are possibly better for a newb. SignatureDan Ill get an order in and keep them in the shed until the need arises (or curiosity takes over!!) Thanks for the help! Gary. >>> Good luck with it dude.
