Sorry for the lack of updates lately guys, I am going to be selling this truck as a roller. Basically it's come down to the fact that it isn't the right truck for what I want to do when I bash, and thats doing big jumps and very rough terrain, and while it is a much better truck than the Maxx IMO, it's still no Savage, which really is the next step up in MT's in my opinion. The MGT does still have some of the weird designs similar to a Maxx, like poor steering geometry, not that much suspension travel (compared to a Savage or LST2), and the lower hinge pins are not supported completely on both sides of the arm, which still allows them to bend and puts it in the same boat as the Maxx. The upper arm mounts keep bending due to how close together the screws are and the lack of support of the upper arm mount where the pin goes through it. In other words, it's been a great truck, and it is much better than my old Maxx ever was, but it just isn't the right truck for me anymore, so it must go to fund other builds, like a 1520 powered 6S Savage XL.

I will be taking pics of it for a for sale ad tonight and I will post them in here to give the truck one final hurrah before it moves on to someone else. The pics of it will be of the setup that it has been running for about the past 3 months with no driveline issues what so ever (The MGT driveline is bullet proof) and has been alot of fun.

I don't want to cut this build thread short for the other guys though and I hope they continue posting their E-MGT's here, as it is a great source of information for others looking to convert their MGT with a center diff.

And the build process itself here has been excellent and I appreciate all the advice and help the other members here have given me, this is by far the best and most informative RC forum on the net with the best crowd I've seen to date. I'm not leaving for good, but it will probably be a few months before I start another build here as I am going to be picking up a Serpent S811T truggy over the summer and it will be nitro just like the rest of my fleet so I wont have much to contribute here for a while.

Be sure to check back sometime tonight for pics of the MGT.

Thanks,
Chris
