MT4-G3 picture and video

Hey Chainsaw, I haven't had the chance to run the MT4 just yet. Always one thing or another that gets in the way. Anyway I had some time to take pics of the battery fitment and what I had to do to the top deck in order to make it fit. Hope they are clear enough. Sorry but taking photos isn't something I am good at.




It almost looks like it isn't going to fit at this point but somehow it does. LOL


You can see on the left how I have opened up the hole for the wires. I did a really rough job with a hobby knife but will clean it up with a Dremel later on and make it look all nice and round.


And here it is with the top deck on. It is a bit of a tight fit but I prefer it like that then have the lipo bouncing around in the tray.

Now while the lipos fits I think it would be better to remove this bit here. I am not sure why it is there but I would rather not have it there. If the lipo slides back in the compartment it could get damaged by this thing. I will remove it with a dremel before I start running the truck.



What spins me out about this truck is all the room under the body. There is a huge void under there. I am worried about lid landings. Without anything underneath the body to support it I think this body will crack easily.


My Axial wheel hex wrench can stand up under the body and it still isn't touching the shell. I think I might fit some sort of a roll bar to the upper deck or some sort of reinforcement between the shock towers.


What else I found interesting today was when I held the MT4 G3 and my Savage Flux, one in each hand. They were almost spot on with weight but the MT4 G3 had a 5S 5000mah lipos in it and Flux had none. I thought that was awesome. All signs are pointing towards a nimble and fun truck with this one
