I read its gonna be around $550
 
I think those are fake piggy backs. The MGT 8.0 has fake piggy's and those look exactly the same.

Yeah I am pretty sure you are correct. The same ol fake piggy back plastic shocks. They were pretty brittle too. I have seen the mounts on several snap off. I am not really feeling it for this truck though. The motor/ESC combo would be better in a SC truck than a monster.
 
I love the look of this truck. Hopefully the diffs were improved from the older ones that came on the mgt.

I'm digging it, reminds me of my MGT but only electric and probably much much faster. :D
 
TT Mt4 g3 lol.. But yea, looks like the MGT platform..
 
Hopefully this will spark some aftermarket support. I had a heck of a time getting stuff with my MGT 8.

I have a feeling it will help. Which is good for all you mgt owners.

Yea I sold mine couple months ago. It ripped with that 8.0 on there but I just didn't like the way it handled.
