Comments: i recently bought a mmgt from WWW.AmainHobbies.com and after about 2
or 3 days of driving it took off on me and almost crashed luckily it flipped and
since then it has lost range in less than 100 feet, i tried replacing the
batteries i even bought NiMH receiver and controller batteries, what can i do?
can i send in the transmitter and receiver for an inspection?
Yes, please send the transmitter and receiver to the address on the home
page for inspection. It could be a cracked crystal. Once we determine the
problem we will send them back to you. Be sure to include a copy of your sales
receipt.

Comments: Can I convert my engine to use a roto/pro start and if yes what do I

You will need to go to
www.SullivanProducts.com
website. There they make a drill start conversion called the Tiger Drive. I am
sure they make one that will fit the .18 as they make one for our .15 engine.

You can run it near water but the servo is not water proof so keep that
in mind. If you do get it wet you will want to thoroughly dry the truck after
you are done.

Comments: hi, whenever i give my truck full throtte, the truck takes its time to
reach top speed (feels as though something is slipping), however, if i gradually
give it throttle, nothing feels like its slipping. The clutch seems to be fine
and i have tightend the slipper completly, i read in a previous post about
something to do with the differential but i do not know what that is. I would
appreciate if you could if you could reply back soon. Thank You. (btw, the gt2
is great!)
Inside the passenger side outdrive you will find an Allen bolt. This is your
diff adjustment. Turn the bolt all the way down until it stops flush and back it
out 1/8 of a turn only. This should stop your slipping condition. **************************************

Comments:Was wondering if it was possible to use a NTC3 3- shoe flywheel? if so
is this a popular up-grade or is this overkill for the truck. I dont currently
have problems with the 2- shoe clutch, Just asking for your opinion on the
upgrade.
The only reason to use a 3-shoe flywheel setup is if you are a surface
that has so much grip that it would help…otherwise you would be breaking loose
the tires so much from the extra shoe that it would not be a benefit.

Comments:Hey guys I would like to say I am a new costumer and I love my new
truck. I would like to know will the 8.0 fit in my new truck and what
requirements. If not what is the best bottom end engine, that would work. Will
the stock MGT 4.6SE pop wheelies if not what upgrades should I use?
The 8.0 will fit in the truck but you would need to upgrade the drive
train. This can be expensive. The LRP .28 spec 3 engine works really well in the
truck and has more power. Getting the truck to wheelie is hard because of the
plush suspension. Try and lean the bottom end needle just a little. Be sure to
lower your idle if you need to.

Nitro kit referenced: Assoc GT-2
Comments: I have had quite a bit of fun with my truck, but now whenever I pull
back the throttle all the way it dies. It also sometimes has a hard time
starting and staying started...I live in Colorado if that makes it easier to
help...please help!
Chrissy,
We have repeatedly instructed all our GT2s to carefully obey all the laws of the
State of Colorado, so I don’t think living in Colorado is the problem. We’ll
have to look elsewhere ...
First check the idle settings on your carb: remove the air filter and
boot, then apply the brakes and check to see if the barrel is closing all the
way. If it does, then you might have the idle set too low and when the carb
barrel is returned to idle position or the brakes are applied the barrel closes
off and then the engine dies out from lack of air.
The idle screw is a physical adjustment not a mechanical and
it has two purposes.
1. It holds the barrel in the carb housing.
2. It sets the idle. If you removed the barrel from out of the carb
housing you will see there is an angled slot that the idle screw rides
in. Depending how far inward you turn the screw will determine where the
tip of the idle screw will hit the side wall of the angled slot.
Sorry for rambling on, but I wanted you to understand how it all works.
So check when you apply the brakes or let the car to go to idle that the
carb barrel isn’t closed up so much that there is no air flow and the
engine shuts off. And make any adjustments you need.

Nitro kit referenced: GT2
Comments: 2 questions:
1) Recently my engine has been running very sluggish. It use to have a
"wheelie popping" acceleration and was the fastest thing on the track,
now she has trouble getting up to speed. What is the average solution to
this(there also is a lot more smoke coming out the exhaust)?
2) I wanted to know if there is a stronger steering servo for this
truck, what you would recommend? The stock servo recently started having
trouble in some turns and it is noticeable. -THNK
1. How much fuel has been run through the engine? If you are in
the area of 3 to 5 gallons or you have over heated the engine then it
could be time for a rebuild of the piston/sleeve and con rod. If the
engine still has great compression, then check your carb settings. From
your description the engine is running really rich. You might want to
work on the High End needle setting to gain more power, but be careful -
do not let the engine temp get over 260 degrees!
2. Yes we have a new digital servo that will work great in the truck for
steering. The part number is 29166, model is DS1313, and the specs are
173.6 oz of torque and 0.13 speed.

What type of fuel are you using? Clean the bearing out with some motor
spray, because the bearing is slipping on the excess lubricant in the fuel.

Comments: more a driving question really getting the car to jump like the pro's,
being new to nitro racing and not having the luxury of having split brakes
before the car seems to react to violently to mid air braking and if i slacken
the brakes to ease this i end up with too little braking on the car, am i
missing something in the brake balance or should i simply use my handset to
soften the initial braking for controlling car flight
You generally do not use the brakes in the air. Try turning the brakes
down using the controller.

Comments: Ive looked at both Jared tebo and Ryan maifields basic set up sheets.
My question is are these set ups just what each driver prefers? I ask because
there set-ups are so different refering to how the suspensions are set up. Where
could one contact either driver to ask questions?
Yes, the setups are their preferences. Just because it works for them
does not mean it will work for everyone. You should be close if you use one of
their setups, though.

Your name: Joey
Nitro kit referenced: RC 10 GT2
Comments: I have an rc10 gt2. I want to put a .18 engine in place of the stock
.15. I recently purchased a .18 CV- RX engine. The place from where I purchased
the engine listed that it would fit the rc-10GT series and I would have to buy
the short shaft version. After I received the engine I discovered that it would
not fit because the .15 is an SG style crank. I called them back and they told
me to purchase an associated clutch nut and that should work. Well, it didn’t
even come close. I am in the process of returning the engine and the
accessories. Are there any .18 engines that will fit the GT2 truck without
extensive modifications? Are there any that will simply bolt in, use the factory
clutch and that’s it? Any suggestions will be truly helpful. By the way, thanks
for the set up you recommended earlier for racing the GT2 on blacktop. It helped
a ton!
The GT2 will accept an SG or short standard shaft. If you use the
standard shaft it must be cut and an Associated #2312 clutch nut used.

Comments:I seem to have trouble getting my truck to make a sharp turn,even at
low speeds. It seems to want to push out. I have full steering from the servo,i
have 0 degree camber and run the 30 degree caster blocks. I also use proline
edge front tires. All else on the truck is as it came from the box. any
different set ups i can use to get more turning? Thanks for your help.
You can try a stiffer spring and/or heavier viscosity oil in the rear
shocks. Also run some negative camber up front. Usually 1-2 degrees works best.

Comments: My low idle screw always gets loose and richens up everything. After i
adjusted it back, for some reason it doesn't want to start again. Is there a
diagram of how to put this back in correctly? I don't think its rocket science
but i cant run
Are you talking about the low end needle that is in the middle of the
front of the carb where the actuator arm is, There is a nut that holds the arm
in place and in the center of that nut there is a slotted screw (the low end
needle).
If that is the one you are talking about, remove it and see if there is damage
to the O-ring. If the O-ring is damaged or missing that might be why it’s coming
out - so the O-ring will need to be replaced. The part number for the O-ring kit
is 29046.

If it is not the slipper clutch then the only other thing it can really
be is the differential. Tighten it up all the way and back it out 1/8 of a turn,
no more.

the replacement screws we have purchased (oem), temporarily fix the problem.
they don't seem like they are long enough to thread into the manifold to hold it
in place. short of wasting my time in a hardware store looking for longer screws

The use of Loctite is what we recommend and is what we use on our

how to break the engine in without damaging the engine. By following the break

You did remember to remove both the Allen screws on each end of the pin
before trying to remove it? That is the only reason unless you bent the pin
somehow - at that point you will need to break the hub up to get the pin out of
the axle area.

Thanks and keep up the good work
1) We will be releasing news about this shortly if you are subscribed to
the Insider's Newsletter.
2) Our customers overwhelmingly prefer these trucks in RTR format, so I don’t
see them being released in kit form anytime soon.

That’s hard. We do not race on asphalt but you will want to
get the truck as low as possible and use stiffer springs and oil. That
way you reduce some of the body roll in the corners and maintain a
higher corner speed.

Your fuel mixture is not set right or the idle adjustment is set wrong

like gas truck and there is nothing wrong with it. If anything, I think it helps
to race a gas truck due to the skills set that it requires in order to drive it

Your name: Michael
Nitro kit referenced: GT2
Comments: I would just like to voice my disgust with Associated for not
promoting the GT2 like it should be promoted. It seems to me that the only items
that are being promoted anymore are either 1/8 scale or 1/10 electric (this is
only due to the lipo and brushless technology that everyone is currently
promoting). I understand that an 1/8 scale kit grosses more capital on an annual
basis than a 1/10 scale, but this does not mean that the GT2 should be neglected
the way that it has been. Maybe it is time to revive the gas truck class by
amending the rules so that it is now ROAR legal to run a .18 engine at
sanctioned events.
In the end, what I am getting at here is that I would like to see more coverage
of races that the GT2 is in. I know these are far fewer now than in the past,
but nonetheless the GT2 should be promoted. I know that the ROAR Fuel Truck
Nationals were just held, and I believe that Jared Tebo won with his GT2. So
would it be too difficult to have and in-depth look at his GT2, or will this not
happen either since the race didn't involve and Associated 1/8 scale in any way?
I ate to say this, but Losi does a better job showing race results that showcase
their xxx-nt better than Associated does.
Well, as with anything else, the newer vehicles will get the most
attention. The GT2 has been out for quite some time now and obviously we will
focus our attention what is the current trend. The gas national were just held
and yes, Tebo won, so I am sure we will have something up on our web very soon.

spins the opposite like its supposed to. Help. Where should i look and is this
common its only had 6-8 tanks.

OK, it sounds like there is a stripped gear inside the transmission that
is locking the tranny up. It will need to be pulled apart to find the damaged
gear or part. Once you find that let us know and we can possibly send the part

The low end should be set at 6 ¼ and the high speed at 2 ½. As you break
the engine in you will be leaning out the high speed needle. The idle and

Wild Cherry,
Please tell us exactly what happened so we can address your concerns. You are
not giving us enough information to take any action. For instance, you bought
and installed all the hopups. Does that mean you installed all the metal parts?
If so, your truck would be heavier. If you want to race, you need your truck
lighter. You add the metal parts only where you think it will give you an
advantage in the race, not all at once. Plenty of MGTs have earned 1st place

Comments: I had heard of diff fluid leakage issues with the Center diff on the
RC8. Has this been addressed? Seems it happens when you run higher torque output
motors.
I have not heard of any such problems. I will ask around, though.

hi my name is ernie and i was wondering if the roll cage ffrom the 4.6 mgt would
fit the 8.0
I believe all the holes are the same so yes, it should work. I would
double check first, though.

wandering if i can by the entire transmission thats put together i went on your
parts list an i got a part #25704 does that come together an also it shows the
picture with driveshafts spur gear an brakes is that what that part # come with
i would like to buy it so i can run this thing again thanks for the feedback
Flory, there is a complete transmission but why don’t you send the
tranny to the address on the home page first so we can take a look at it under
warranty? If defective it will be repaired or replaced at no charge to you.

No it is not necessary. The stock filter works just fine.
