What's the trick to beefing up rear turnbuckle on the MGT 8.0 , when ever I don't land right from a jump or do a back flip the ball end breaks off the rear turnbuckle.
Thanks for your help

I never had that issue with my MGT when I had it. Mine always broke the carrier side of the turn buckle. I used a higher viscosity shock oil and it slowed down the compression of the shock. Also make sure that you have enough fluid in the shocks so there isn't any slack. I used a combination of red and blue springs with varying width spacers as well at times.

Lol, I read this yesterday and never realized it was your thread Doug.
I guess if I figure something out you'll be the first to know!
I'm gonna see if Savage turnbuckle ends will work, as I think you are going to as well.

Melonpeel - we's talkin about the turnbuckle ends, and anyone that's getting the RPM knuckles take note that you need RPM pivot ball retainers and bearings & spacer also.

i know the mgt looks very much like a tmaxx. i dont know if it is possible to mod some rpm true trac arms. the true trac arms do not use rod ends. it comes with a fixed arrier.

Hmm that's interesting and not too bad for $50, I've got a Tmaxx at home so I may check and see if the arms are compatible...

Revo pivot ball ends are pretty stout. RPM makes some too, really long so they thread in deep. Add a drop of super glue before threading them on and they will hold forever. If you want to go super beefy, Losi 8ight turnbuckles are bullet proof.

all most forgot about this thread LOL , yep its me Tom , rebuild (Doug) LOL ,
true track I'll look into that ,but is'nt the T-max 1/10 scale , may be to small to fit the MGT 8.0 , time to do some home work
