I know they don't make the original gas truck any longer by ae, but thundertiger makes the exact same truck now that used to be the gt only now has a black chassis.

Even before being bought out they used thundertiger engines. They actually are nice engines. The small blocks on the gas trucks have excellent carbs, I'd say nearly as nice as the coveted os carbs. I ran a ae .28 this summer just to try it out. Once I sorted out my fuel tank problem the engine was excellent. It was a little difficult to dial the engine in, but once it was it ran like a vspec with less runtime.

But anyways.. There's so many good things out now under so many different names I wish I could just try one of everything. lol
Good luck with your mbx6, they sound like an excelent buggy.
Good to hear about the TT engines. I too have had excellent luck with them. And I'll say it again. I am a huge TT fan. I wish they'd do more with the EB-4 buggy, it's a great car, just not as light or high tech as the new stuff out. I wish I could try everything too, the Mugen is my next endeavor, it should arrive this week. I'm sure it'll meet my high expectations.
