Hey fellow Rc'ers.I noticed there is not to much info,or following of the MGT 8.0.As I believe this truck does not get the attention it deserves.Thus,the reasoning for this tread.The Mgt 8.0 in my opinion,was and still is my favorite ever 1/8 scale nitro truck.This is my second mgt 8.0.The first lasted me three years.Before the engine blew,after 6 gallons of 30%.Still the truck was in good shape.I beat the hell out of that truck,and when I say beat,I mean beat.Out of the box,it is great basher.with a little TLC and tweeking,it turns into a beast.First and foremost,the engine is a heli engine.It is not a screamer.But the way I see it,Who needs a 40,000 rpm engine in a heavy monster truck? It is all about torque,which the 8.0 engine has plenty of.First get the 8.0 modded.Crazy diff,tons of torque,better run times,lower temps.Then seal the carb,back plate if it is an issue.Get a better tuned sidepipe.Upgrade the wheels and tires.Upgrade the steering servo.As for the shocks,totaly up to the individual.Myself,I have no problems with them.The transmission is tough,even with reverse left installed.Front and rear diffs are bulletproof,from my experience.All in all the Mgt 8.0 is a great truck,and deserves a second look.
