[Roadrash13]

Hey MT Boys & Girls,

GS will have the MT line up ready here real soon!

They are building an RTR MT, a Pro MT and a Storm conversion kit.

Prices & MT's are not yet available, but as soon as they are I will post them! I have a few pics. available if you are interested in this information, please email me at [email protected]

NOTE:
Serious inquaries only please, as it takes to long to sort and send this information!

I am an adult Sponcered Team GS driver, just trying to let MT drivers get a little heads up on the genral RC population!

Thanks for your interest...

Kind Regards, Steve

I am on the virge of buying either a Mad Force or an X-Factor but I love my Storm!!! Get me info quick before I spend my loot.

I found pics!!!

 

[BigBadWolf]

First of all... if those are authentic, how the hell??? I just spent half an hour in Google and I couldn't find anything.

Second... it looks like a Storm chassis with MT wheels/tires and some bumpers. I would imagine gearing has changed too but I could do that with my Storm.

However I will say those are some sweet looking tires.

A GS truggy...kewl!!!

Looks like they went with different hubs as well. They sure as hell dont look like standard 17mm buggy hubs.

I need to figure out how to do get the body posts mounted like that on my inferno.

I have pics of the Pro MT, & more of the RTR....

Hey everybody,

I'm waiting for a reply from Michael at GS right now (I emailed him yesterday) to find out when the Trucks & Conversion kits will be available! Watch for posts :^)

Well I got my reply from GS, but not exactly what I wanted to
hear! Guess I'll have to be patient :^(

Heres the reply:

Hey Steve,

You will only have to be patient a little bit longer. They are trying
to get them out in time for Christmas and we were displaying a GS SUT RTR at the Hobby Visions show in Las Vegas last week. We did get a prototype conversion kit about a month ago "for the emlpoyees" at GS and we've been testing it out. Horizon Hobbies may have them early next month but I don't know when we will have them.

Hang in there.

GS Pro MT..

 

[Roadrash13]

Heres a pic of the RTR hub adaptors, I would think the Pro MT hub adaptors would be hard coated like the Pro Buggies!

I am wanting to turn my storm into an MT where can I get the hub adapters and the different gears? Also what gear ratio do I need.. Again I have a stock storm to build on... All and any help appriated...:help: :yes:

 

[cfloyd]

Anyone know?

 

[TRDStreetFighter]

you actually don't need hub adaptors.. just get the OFNA Dominator wheels they use a 17mm set

 

[cfloyd]

you dont need longer hubs for steering clearence?

Hey Steve,

Please keep me inform when GS comes out with GS Storm Unlimited Truck Pro Kit! Thanks pal!

Pro MT

GOOD NEWS!!!
I just got an email yesterday from GS telling me the Pro MT will be available late January. The prices were not discussed but I would expect they would be comparable to the buggy prices, for example: the Storm Pro Buggy Kit is $429.00 at Horizon Hobby site so the Storm Pro Unlimited MT should be about $329.00. I think this because the Storm RTR Buggy is $549.00 & the Storm RTR Unlimited MT is $449.00 at Horizon Hobby Site right now! I have been waiting for the GS MT's to come out for over a year now! So hold tight & you will get one. Be sure to check out the NORRCA event stats. at www.gsracing.com the GS Team kicked a$$!!!

Nice Job Garen & Marty :winnar:

You actually don't, the offset works out to be the same

What the adaptors give you is the ability of using t-maxx style wheels,
Then you can use the proline offset wheels, that will widen the stance an extra 1" if you like. Plus you'll have the ability to choose a wide variety of wheel styles. The Ofna wheels only come in the one style
