iHOBBY Expo 2007 - Mini MGT 3.0 [plus a *new* mgt]

[basketballcoachmike]

Anyone out there having diff problems? I keep braking them every month.

[forrest225]

@basketballcoachmike No, I haven't had any probs with mine, although I do Have top end tuning probs, it tends to die when it shifts :(

[MegaRallycar]

That buggy isn't gay its one of the best almost a hb d8 buggy

[NIGHTCRAWLER504]

THAT BUGGY IS GAY'

[1521joe]

lol, that assoc guy is hard to interview!

they need better people

[brat895]

cant wait 2 get my mini mgt 3.0

[CeladonTruck]

lol, forty mph outta the box, i broke 60 with mine yesterday, all stock!!!! I love mine!

[CeladonTruck]

does anyone know how to fix the engine problems on these things? I have just got one, and it won't start. I pulled for almost ten mins, and it won't turn over at all. So... is there anything i have to do to get the engine running?

[basketballcoachmike]

@CeladonTruck I have to pull off the hose to the carb and let gravity pull the gas through the line. Frustrating, but eventually it starts. Mine though brakes the diff, second one in about eight runs, not cool.

[NIGHTCRAWLER504]

the mini mgt 3.0 doesnt realy look like a mini?!?!?

[NIGHTCRAWLER504]

wtf a potato!

[reanimate280]

they associated guy sounds like a fucking lunk head.....he must be related to the owners of the company they should really get better spokespeople ...he sounds like a potato

[buttdud1122]

is there a steel clutch bell available? ive replaced the aluminum one once already and the other one is wearing out quickly. my hobby shop said to look for one but i cant find one

[hondatmx]

does mgt do spin start?

[gatocrib]

the suspension looks same as a t-maxx  (arms and shocks )and the steering servo is position the same way.

[bbgunfun08]

just ordered a mini mgt

[warhead250]

the tmaxx is a brilliant truck i own a 2.5 and love it but i have seen the mgt 3.0 go at my local track i would prefer one of those but tmaxx is still good

[snobmxman101]

could i put a .21 or a .28 engine in the mini mgt 3.0??

[2KiDsTuDiOs]

would you say that the mgt 3.0 is a better buy than a 2.5 t-maxx?

[ryansiki]

its associated and traxxas. Both great companies but i would go with associated.

[lemonlaw95]

the t-maxx will have more parts in hobby stores locally, but the mgt is probably a better truck.

[chunkyfunkymonkey28]

Can someone tell me if I can fit a 5 cell, 6 volt Rx hump pack in my MGT 3.0? Will it fit in that radio compartment? Thanks.

[NOSchugger]

if what you mean by the reciever battery compartment then sure im pretty sure it would fit instead of AA batteries!!!

[gokartingbob455]

lol, i have an rc8 and im gonna get that mgt 8.0

[bad91dually]

there to much money they are toys

[gokartingbob455]

[s172mch]

[esebcarfreak]

[CSSPR00]

dude save its worth it i just got it a copple days ago. i love it good choice

[surfbum34]

wer can i get one in Western Australia and how much

[KBS604]

holy smokes an 8.0?! i had a collari .30 in my savage and thought that was way more than enough power. 8.0 is insaaaaane

[lalala4456]

just remember its not a .80 enginge its only a .50 the 3.0 comes with a .18.

[KBS604]

yup i know. I'm just amazed at how big the motors are getting. i remember back in the day the savage .25 was considered extremely powerful.

[kdp1954]

thanks alot im geting a mgt 8.0

[kdp1954]

merry xmas

[brownballer4lyf]

tyvm..

u too

[kdp1954]

did you know the monster gt 8.0 has 4.8 horsepower dont know rpm range do you know rpm

[brownballer4lyf]

not too sure, imma guess high 30k's....

more of torque, less speed..

[rockylawlor555]

i just got a mini mgt. but i cant drive it till christmas

[brownballer4lyf]

aw, well lukily dats not too far away :D

[Dpistol1]

that 8.0 is the baddest damn monster truck out PROVE ME WRONG!! i can drive mine all day!! to much power so u gotta be easy on the gas its just pure beast with that get out my way or get ran over attitude it comes with a bad ass radio to its worth the price.. i draged raced a hoped-up revo and smoked it!! what i like the most is the sound of that big engine when im driving it

[brownballer4lyf]

oh, nothing beats the sound of a nicely tuned pipe on a nicely tuned big block engine on a monster trucck buddy!

especially that 20 pound beats just comin at u at over 40mph, lol

makes a grown man happy..

[Dpistol1]

more like monster block lol

[brownballer4lyf]

lol quite likely

[6650roger]

how much iss the 8.0 going to cost. And how fast is it suppose to go. Wow my tmaxx is a 3.0 and does 50+ this thing must do 60+ no problem

[brownballer4lyf]

well think abt this, it is a bigger truck, bigger engine, but depends on how the engine is made, i will gues its more powerfull in the low-end...

so i might say that on a str8 flat dragstrip a t-maxx might have a 50% chance of winning, depends..

but on a uphill, a mgt 8.0 will smoke any t-maxx

[TerrorTooth2]

i have one and the thing is fast for a monster i got the 3.0 and it has great handaling the only thing is that i cant find quick start for it but otherwise its awsome

[brownballer4lyf]

how fast does the 8.0 go for u?

and ur 8.0 has a roto start but the 3.0 doesnt?!

[brownballer4lyf]

yup yup

[Aperson102]

I wonder how big the gas tank is on the MGT 8.0? Probably 8 minutes out of 250cc right? LOL

[brownballer4lyf]

lol

iunno

i get an easy 10 15 minutes out of my 160cc on my 4.6...

but then this is a 8.0...

hahahhaha

[Dpistol1]

i got big plans for this truck i just back ordered it from towerhobbies :)

[brownballer4lyf]

hahahaha

nice :D

put up a vid aSap, i wanan see!! XD

[Dpistol1]

aight man ill get my girl to film me driving it

[brownballer4lyf]

oh, nice, dats pretty great.

how old is she?

[Dpistol1]

lol naw man not a child i mean ill try and get my girlfriend to do it lol

[Dpistol1]

u gotta think about the radio that comes with it and that big ass engine!!...but that price is nuttin i paid $800+ for my savage that i put a .46 engine conversion in a while back and i kno that 8.0 will blow the body off of it ya dig

[Dpistol1]

that 8.0 is a beast...but if ur new to the hobby go with the 3.0

[ujm123]

i im not new i already have a team associated B4RS and TC4 4WD.

I bougth the RC10T4 but it came fucked up sow they change it for me and they changed it to the one that i wannted (B4RS)

[brownballer4lyf]

oh

well those are electrics

when gettin into nitro's its a whole new things, its jus the basic physics that are same for electric or nitros, sum mechanics, bot the maintenance, performance, and upgrade sectors are totally new, so i would say get the 3.0 or a different 1/10 scale nitro truck

[ujm123]

like what 1/10 nitro truck

[brownballer4lyf]

hmm..

quite a few...

seems liek uve had experience with mostly team associated vehicles, which are the best, so imma guess u should try out the rc10gt2, thats the perfect one for a first nitro, and how u like team associated's rc's so far?

[ManuelDr]

wow like i just cheked the price of the 8.0 on tower:529.99, AE is going wild wit these prices man...well for my pocket these r crazy prices :(

[brownballer4lyf]

lol for a pro grade 8.0 dats a real good price man....

i would buy it in a flash if i had the flow..

[ManuelDr]

oh i didnt know about crazy 8.0 lol, u know im still on a trx2.5 :)

[brownballer4lyf]

lol dats all good

they ar epretty fun to drive around too..

[ujm123]

sow far is alright pretty good speed i tryin to get a very good nitro truck for team ssociated

My bro already buy the MGT3.0 for $380 or $390 plus the gas = &25 and to get the motor ready for him in 1 hour is $40 in total is around =$460 plus tax

[brownballer4lyf]

yeah, round about, and thats a really good price for a proffessional grade nitro truck, to be honest...

[ujm123]

Witch car should i get the mini MGT3.0 or the MGT8.0 the BIGGER one ?

[95666]

the 8.0
