Associated Mini MGT 3.0: A "mini" truck that packs a big punch

With it's small-block power and a rotary carb, I wasn't expecting the Mini MGT to rocket off the line. That went out the window as the truck showed powerful acceleration even with the engine running rich, and it only got better as I dialed the engine into peak tune.

The Mini MGT is a mini in name alone; it's essentially 1/10 scale, and handily outperforms any true "mini." It has plenty of power, the brakes work well, steering is dead-on, and it has no trouble climbing over any obstacle you put in front of it.
