I love my MMGT even though I have only put 6 tanks through it.
I decided to test its toughness using a skate ranp on asphault:roll2:. Not too bright but i figured the weak points would come out real quick. Needless to say the chassis ended up looking like a bananna after a few front end dives. I got a new chassis from Ebay for $27 shipped and rebuilt it today. The main problem with the front end is the gap in the framy where the front out drives come out of the diff. Found a fix for that(pictured below).
I also found that RC8 rear shocks work all around. I scored all four of Ebay, used, for under $30shipped. I havenet run the truck yet but am expecting that it will out perform the stock 8 shock setup. Also added front AE FT CVDs, an HPI rotostart, OFNA fuel filter, Mugen alluminum clucth shoes with 1.0 springs, filled the diffs with 3k in the front and 10k in the rear, and lowerd thae fuel tank by allmost an inch. I also did a forward only conversion.
On with the picts!
