MGT 8.0 conversion - maybe.....

[10kman]

Hey all,

Long time away from the forums (posting anyway, I usually lurk), and I had converted one of the older MGT's over to brushless, and loved the thing. I ended up parting it out and selling it to clear out some stuff a while back, but I'm itching for something new and interesting.

I have an E-Revo now, fun truck, and it is quite bashable even though it's geared towards the racer. After I got the suspension tuned and got used to it, no issues.

I really really really liked my MGT's that I owned, I think I had 3 or 4 over the years, in both nitro and brushless conversion flavors.

I was thinking of doing another conversion with the 8.0 truck, but after searching, I'm not seeing a whole lot of them floating around. I'm concerned about long-term parts availability and the truck being sorta "left behind" due to the popularity of the savages and even the t-maxx.

The main reason with the conversion of the associated truck is I just really liked it, working on it was a snap, and parts were dirt cheap (relatively speaking compared to some of the others out there). I'd just hate to do the conversion again, and then have parts get sparse, or them come out with a new truck right after I do it.

Are MGT's still popular anywhere? I don't run with anyone, or frequent a hobby shop to ask around casually, so I'm hitting up the forums. I guess if anything, I could stockpile enough parts to last me a long time!

Thanks all,
