pull the primer line off the exsust blow up the tank till the fuel reaches the carb inlet. Pull once or twice and away you go. Ez starts are a fast way to destroy a owb. Oh if you are having trouble with it priming open the carb up a bit when you are priming it this helps alot.
Casey did you ever fix that linkage?

Hey Guys!
Just wanted to say what's up to my fellow monster truck drivers! I'm actually quite new to the whole RC hobby. Just got my first truck (a MGT 3.0) this summer. However, being in Indiana, I'm going to lose the good weather soon. I've got a big basement, and I'm building a pretty killer (in my opinion) micro track to keep me occupied over the winter. I'll definetly post some pictures after I get everything built =)
My questions, however... I like the MGT 3.0, and I got a great deal on it, but I'd like to pick something up over the winter. The track close to my house, as well as the track I'm building in my back yard is pretty rough. I'm FAR from a racer. Strictly a BASHER! I want a nitro truck for sure, but what do you guys recommend? I've heard Savage stuff is awesome, but they sometimes have issues with it not picking up all the fuel from the tank? I've heard the Revo and T-Maxxx stuff can be a little weak as far as bashing... What do you gues recommend?
Also, what do you guys do during the winter when you don't have good weather?
Thanks!!!!!

If you guys are going to advise him to get a savage because it's durable, great. But please stop hating on the Revo, and saying it's not a good basher, because that's a straight lie.
Revo Bash Video
Now this isn't my video, but I will be glad to make a video if anyone questions the Revos bashing capabilities

: lol:More to the point buy what ever fits in you budget the best and strikes you fancy. As long as you stick with the name brand stuff you can't go wrong. Some of that off brand stuff can be pertty shotty.
The truggys are also a great option they are very capable bashing and racing as well.
There is everyone happy. The poor guy just wanted some oppions on what to buy. I was just giving mine and I vote savage. If you have a diffrent oppion give it and state your reasons and stop trying to discredit others oppions just because they don't aggree with your oppion.
I hope you get a truck despite all this nonscense. Bash on brother.

I hear you, Pope. It's not about disproving others opinions...it's about giving them. I didn't expect a debate.
Yeah, I'm new at RC. And to be totally honestly, it's hard to find good help for a newbie. I'm learning that. For those of you that have been helpful, thank you. For the guy that claims I know everything, and talks like a 12 year old, thanks for proving there are idiots in every hobby or sport.

You need something with beef if you want to bash.
