[qaart]

i have a buddy that wants me to buy his monster gt he is pretty much giving it away. it has a broke left frount a arm but thats a easy fix. he said 45$
and i could have it and it even has 3 speed trany new tires. but really i want to no what are the pros and cons with this truck

I've never owned on but it looks like a cool truck. but at $45 dollars thats not a bad deal for a nitro

is it a 3.0 or 8.0?

 

[qaart]

idk if it is 3.0 or 8.0 but still 45$ you can hardly by a good brand of gas for that much.
it hasent been ran in year and a half so idk carb is prob gumed up

 

[reighard53]

yeah either way if you need a new engine it shouldnt cost much and it looks like a sweet bashing truck. but a 3.0 is about $300 new and an 8.0 is about $500 so you couldnt go wrong with $45 lol

It's probably the Monster Gt 4.6. And probably the First version of it with the 21 engine and Weaker tranny. But it is still a very good rig and for 45 dollars even if the engine doesn't run it's a steal.

Give you $100.

So I take it they call it a MONSTER gt for no reason at all

only thaing it doesent have is a remote to it. but i have 6 other cars steal one off of it
when i start working ill prob buy upgrade it to all alloy upgrade engine metal gears for the trany

Buy the new Tranny off the newer version if it is the older one and RPM arms for it. Also get a good side pipe for it and you'll be set.

If you are using the stock shocks expect to blow a cap off. The stockers suck. All in all it is a solid truck.
