MGT 4.60SE.....not impressed.

[\Doc\]

Well fellas, my bud just grabbed a brand new MGT 4.60SE and I must say I'm
not all that impressed. I was thinking of getting one myself prior to
seeing one in action. I'll give it three things: it handles amazing, it's
loud as all hell and it's humongous. On the other hand it's slow as snot
and seems to have durability issues (bud is popping rear camber links
everytime he rolls it or lands a big jump off-center).

Any of you folks on here have a MGT 4.60SE who have any suggestions to help
this brute realize it's potential?

I have one, and it outruns my kid's Revo 2.5. I do also have the problem
with the inner end of one of the rear camber links, Once they get popped
off, it seems they lose their holding power. The rest are fine on mine,
Still, sucks to have to replace it, but it's fairly cheap I think.

Other than that, no durability issues here, except from the massive
driver-error kind of hits that would break pretty much any MT out there.

I'm surprised you like the way it handles that much, mine is kinda a
pig, especially compared to the Revo.

It's all relative. Yeah, it handles like a hog, but considering it's HUGE,
it actually handles pretty well I think given it's size and weight. A
nimble hog perhaps? ;-) Comparing the MGT to a Revo is like comparing
apples to oranges IMO.

I like my MGT. It can handle terrain like no other. I wish it had
more power tho. I heard of guys being able to wheelie their MGTs. I
cant. I would say that it is quick enough tho.

The rear suspension is WAY to smooshy to pull wheelies. Stiffer springs and
thicker shock oil in the rear would get her up on two wheels pretty quick I
imagine. Also, replacing the heavier-n-hell stock wheels with something
lighter to reduce the rotating mass would help immensley in this dept. I
agree, the power is disappointing. My bud came over convinced he was faster
than my Savage; he was very wrong. Off the line and top end the Savage
kills the MGT.
