I was over Botajells house last night and I could not take my eyes off of his MGT. I'm looking forward to many more videos with this truck

[@hybrid32494]

whats up GARY! I though Botajell was the LST king!! ahaha. We all know he loves the Losi LST, I need to find one too. Does john have the 4.6 model or the same 8.0 as I do?

Hey there Mr Nitro man. 😀Fantastic Nitro collection. They all look great to me. Looking forward to part 4. Have a blessed weekend.

[@Grifter371]

Awesome! So glad I was able to find this historic monster truck a good home. I cannot wait to hear it rip again. I had done some research awhile ago and it seemed like swapping in LRP engines was pretty common for the MGT. But now that I know it’s a heli engine I think it’d be cooler to run it as is.

[@biged1703]

Wow! Nice vintage collection of Nitro’s. Yes that is the biggest nitro motor I have ever seen. Looking forward to seeing it rip.

[@philthyco1]

Great info on the MGT 8.0 bro! Well said..The Tamiya is badass!

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

Great video brother!!! I like how you take the cooling heads off and check the engines out. Great watch 👍

[@hybrid32494]

hey ben!! what's up!! Yes, checking under the cooling head is the best and easiest way to gauge engine condition. I need to start working on my rampage rally soon, I'm falling behind brother!! Gonna use your next video as motivation to get the 32CC rovan in.

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

[@hybrid32494]

GARY you are forever a member of the NitroGang, no matter what!! I bet you had some cool ones years ago too. To me the nitros are more of a trophy and history lesson, the Gas ones are runners at all times.

wow, pretty cool stuff. Not there yet but love tinkering like you are doing

[@RCManiacs]

Sweet! Cant wait for the run video

[@hybrid32494]

hey dude!! thanks for watching. I'll be working on that soon.

[@donelias1981]

I had a Thunder Tiger EK4 back in the day, wish I never sold it, the thing was a wheelie monster (frame was weak had to upgrade it to the stronger one), the biggest issue they had for the gen1 EK4 was the clutch shoes and cooling. There was an aftermarket company that made a gigantic cooling head for that engine which cooled it down a lot, never was able to solve the clutch shoe issue, even had custom aluminum shoes made but they couldn't handle the power. I used a cordless drill to start mine and had several of those 1/4 drivers on hand.

[@hybrid32494]

hey dude, thanks for watching and your EK4 recollection, very interesting. I remember those hige billet cooling heads, they made the truck look like a real beast back then. Hopefully I can find one soon, bring back some memories to everyone. This MGT model is basically the same, but it's a smaller .50 motor than the EK4, also has cooling issues from what I read.

[@Imperial_Wing]

Wassup Man! sick video! 🤙🏽 This monster truck is a beast I love how back in the day the rc monster trucks had that classic look with the flames 🔥

[@hybrid32494]

whats up homie!! I'm gald you like the look at some of my older nitro trucks. That terra crusher is the largest, and yet has the smallest engine, ahhaa. The Tamiya was a work of art if you examine it up close, it's even got a built in cooling fan that is part of the flywheel.

[@batuhan220]

Hei Hybrid love to watch your Videos bought a Kyosho FW-06 nitro because of your Videos wanted a nitro so bad!! keep doing more Vid`s. Greetings from Switzerland!

[@eparrc1376]

I love these videos, very educational

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude!! thanks again! I could prob spend an hour talking about this, it's tough to condense all my history and thoughts into a few minutes. Most people just do running and bashing vids, but know nothing about the models themselves, I like the mixed approach. Study and bash!!

[@hybrid32494]

yup, don't look like it!! I will destroy them in vintage nitro Tech. It's ok, I will keep on plugging away with what I like about this hobby, and that is the Nitro Truck Wars of the 2000's. I rem years ago, it was all about the monster trucks.

[@christianwornall1047]

Oh yes mate what a beast I had one of those brings back so many memories very fast and very powerful please do a speed test 🙏 have a great day buddy 💪

[@hybrid32494]

whats up my dude!! I will definetly do speed testing eventually. You know I take my time. Net video I will be attempting to fire up the engine, that will be the ultimate test to see how it is. I kind of want to the get the mini MGT 3.0 too, you rem those?

[@rustyshackleford9632]

Hey man, you should get a CEN Genesis nitro monster truck. I remember always wanting one when I would walk into my local hobby shop around 2007-2009 they had it displayed on a high shelf. It has a beast of a nitro engine and a 3 speed transmission. Keep up all the nitro and gas powered videos, they’re so much more interesting than electrics.

Screw it! Lets put the helicopter engine in a baja 5b and see how it performs!!!! Has anyone tried such a feat?!?!😱 what do you think hybrid? You think the 5b would have decent performance with a nitro engine of that size in there? I dont know why this popped into my strange mind but i like to think and attempt "out of the box" builds if they seem at all feasible😏👍 great mt collection!!!

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro!! Yes, this MGT 8.0 is almost identical to the Thunder Tiger, you're right. Many of their parts are interchangeable too. That's because thunder Tiger purchased Team Associated in 2005, the rest is history! ahaha. I'm also looking for the EK4, its got an even larger engine, a .70. CRAZY!!! gonna be like a 2-3 minute run per tank of nitro, ahaaa.

[@islandrc-duke1972]

cool video and can't wait to see it rip

[@Ryan-gf3jf]

Nice Vid! Its cool you have the classic rc and able to restore them but the question i have is it easy to find parts? Keep it up!

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! thanks you for watching. That's a good question. This is a common issue with any older RC, but in all my years of restoring vintage nitros I have never failed to make one run and have never bought any significant parts. The main thing to look for is for them to be complete, you don't want to be chasing down plastic parts or gears. Engines are easily replaceable, but it's not cheap. I only seek out complete models, as much as I can tell from the pictures of course.

[@Ryan-gf3jf]

@@hybrid32494 Awesome Cuz i have the old 80s tamyia gasshopper electric and man its a pain to find parts lol

[@ShadowGodHim]

Cen genesis 7.7 .46 is a beast nitro truck as well. Also kinda hard to get.

[@hybrid32494]

hey dude. The Men Geneis is a very cool truck that I'd love to have. And you]re right they are pretty rare and sell for way too much on eBay. Generally around 350+ for an average shape one. IF I could get it for 250 or so I'd pull the trigger.

do you think its worth it to save up money and go straight to 5th scale or is it better to upgrade the little guys

[@hybrid32494]

Hey dude. Good question. Id say go get urself a rovan baja. For the money it cannot be beat, have you seen my vids on them, totally happy with it. I personally hate upgrading anything because all these upgrades are a rip off. Better to just stick to stock rovans. Ofcourse electrics are a diff world conpletely.

[@paulallen-01]

Team associated claimed it had something like 4.5 horsepower but I don’t know how true that is when the hpi K4.6 produces about 3 horsepower. Also I’ll give you a pro tip I got from a professional nitro racer, use Marvel Mystery Oil for after run oil.

[@cyclicracer]

Should I add a nitro gang flag to my tmaxx???

[@mattster197]

Hey Nitro Boss! Was that grit in the oil on top of that head or just air bubbles? It looked like some sand or something which might be bad news for the engine. Fingers crossed it’s not. Get that bad boy cleaned up and turn it over. I want to hear it roar.

[@hybrid32494]

whats up homie!! YEs, it looked like grit, I touched it off video and it was just air bubbles and what looked like remains of the old oil/fuel mix that had mostly evaporated but left some firm oil on top. Should be fine. Soon we will fire her up dude!! thanks for your support.

[@hybrid32494]

hey man! Well if you're looking for an entirely new motor on the MGT/S28 then you should have a ton of replacement options available. The .28 is the most common engine size these days and come with pull starters. If you're talking about the .50 size motor, well then you're gonna need to go with a .32 LRP. Ofcourse if you want to keep it original you will need to find a whole new part.
