10k, thats SWEET! im not a bg fan of the mgt, but i LOVE the motor mount!!

how heavy is this thing? loaded, unloaded?

and how do u like the air esc? i think id buy quark if that esc is 100 bucks cheaper!

and do u have any cogging?

Nice job on the MGT. I love mine, although I ultimately went with a center diff setup.

Truck was 10.6 pounds without motor, mount, ESC, BEC, and battery. So, you can probably get close with a guess. I'd say 13.5 pounds. It's heavy but not ridiculous, I felt a few all aluminum trucks and they are tanks. The MGT is big though, not like an E-Maxx or even a Revo, which are more track oriented designs.

I stopped weighing parts when I got the real meat and potatoes, if I have stuff off sometime I can weigh it.

Haven't noticed any cogging so far, but let's wait until I get the LiPo until I give a true rating on the Air Master. Like I said though, so far, no issues.

Actually, I don't know that I'd spend the money on the rpm stuff. The stock arms have been fine. The only problems I've had is with the rear tie rods bending and occassionally snapping. Just stock up on rod ends and devise something to stop the tie rod from popping off.

Very nice truck, I got an E-MGT in the planning stage, but will be a little different

jnev 06.07.2007 06:04 PM

Nice conversion. I am really liking the motor mount. Clever idea. Hope it runs well for you.

RPM for MGT - save your dough
 
It isn't bad in any way, it does what it says, but the stock ones do the same and cost less. Also, there are issues with suspension travel limits with the RPM arms, you need to grind them, or Dremel the tabs off the skid plates to allow full droop.

Not sure if that has been fixed, but I switched to the stock ones with an older truck and was happy with them.

Lunsford and dubro make great replacement products.

Great convo man!

I thought the new 4.6 had the 3peeds on them. I could be wrong.

supralover72 06.11.2007 09:37 PM

Nope, I own one and it's 2. :)

coolhandcountry 06.15.2007 02:56 PM

OH well. I could have swore read about a 3 peed for one.
Must be first sign of crazy. Dreaming up more speeds than is there. :)
