So this is just a quick review of mgt 8.0 and geared toward anyone thinking of picking one up... If you are new to it like me its hard to find real views about a truck with out alot of people just saying whatever they have is the best and everything else is garbage. So if you dont have an mgt then well haha jk

I have just had my first day bashing this or really getting to drive this hard.
This truck has amazing power you will have to try and keep the front end down. It will pull a wheelie on demand and even shifting into second will pop em up. It seems to be faster and more powerful every time I drive it. Seems to still be breaking in.

Suspension is amazing and handles sharp turns even at higher speeds. I might want it to be a little stiffer in the future I will see.

I found some bike jumps to launch off and it was begging me for more jump after jump you just want to push it farther.

I personally dont have alot of experience with other MTs but I wouldnt want any other one this truck has been so much fun and t took some mistakes I made like hitting a curb about 20 and many crashes from learning how to jump nothing seem to phase it.

I guess the only negatives I would give it is that it seems to be very thirsty. I have to pause all the fun to bring her in and fill her up quite often. Also due to its size it wont stop on a dime but it does stop.

If you are new to rcs and looking to get a monster truck I would jump on an mgt in a heart beat. I am lucky to have got an amazing deal on one (new)
it is a great setup! I hope everyone is as happy with their MGT as I am.
 
Love for the MGT!!! Thats great. At least I know I'm not the only 1 who thinks this is a great truck. You are right she does get very thirsty but at the same time you gotta remember its a bigblock so shes gonne get thirsty and quick
 
So far the truck has not does disappointed and the only upgrade I've done is the optional header with an hpi savage xl tuned pipe. The stock exhaust is worthless and with a tuned pipe this truck just comes alive.
 
I have been loving mine heard a snap yesterday while driving around and now I am back to front wheel drive... LOL JINXED myself
So I think my diff is broken no power to the rear wheels and its not stripped this time.

GPM makes aluminum diffs I found 2 for like 70 bucks should I pull the trigger or just replace with stock for 30 for 1
