Thunder Tiger MT4-G3 1:8 Electric Monster Truck Review « Big Squid RC

Just curious to see if anyone on here has experience with this truck. The reviews I have been reading make it sound like the best electric RC basher that money can buy. Can anyone provide some insight before I spend $500 on a truck I've never seen. I have never owned anything thunder tiger.

This truck gets great reviews almost across the board. Squirrel reviewed it, Jang is reviewing it. Biggest problem I've heard is getting parts for it. If you're in the market for a fast basher monster truck, doesn't seem like you can go wrong. I don't own one personally, but been thinking about one. Just keep researching, maybe another site will give more feedback.

Yeah right now I'm about 99% sure I'm gonna pick one up from tower when a good coupon comes along

A friend's brother has one on 4s with a big brushless and all he has busted is the stock hinge pins in the front end. He has since swapped in an upgraded version and has had no issues. I almost feel bad for the beating that truck sustains every time out but it holds up beautifully.

From what I've read upgrading those hinge pins and building a simple chassis brace is all you need to make this thing damn near indestructible

I have a Thunder Tiger Sparrow Hawk onroad car. Its tough as all hell. The stock diffs hold up to 6s lipo.

I have two Thunder tigers (had three) and they have been almost bullet proof. You can't go wrong with picking one up since they are durable. The only upgrade you will need is a chassis brace to for big jumps to keep your shock towers and chassis from bending.

You can find all the parts you need from towerhobbies. If you can't find the part, search for ST-1 (nitro version) since they share every part except for the chassis. It also shares some parts from the EB4-G3 and S3, not sure why tower doesn't update the parts compatibility.

Thunder tiger owns Team Associated so it also shares the same parts such as the diffs (front, center, and rear) from my SC8.2E

Those are some great looking thunder tigers! I just joined the wonder tiger forum a few days ago
