ASSOCIATED
MGT 8.0 AND 4. 6
LIMITED EDITIONS
Team Associated has re-released its popular MGT nitro-powered monster truck in limit-ed-edition trim. Both the 8.0 and 4. 6 MGTs are outfitted with an American flag body. The
trucks come ready to run with AE’s XPD FM computer radio system. The 8.0 is powered
by a strong 8.0cc engine and reaches speeds around 40mph with its 2-speed transmission. The 4. 6 version of the MGT boasts an additional 33% displacement, which gives it
more raw power and torque. The trucks have 4 inches of ground clearance and utilize
all-terrain tires for ripping up any kind of surface.

TEAM EPIC
I-GAUSS ROTOR
STRENGTH CHECKER
In racing, every advantage matters, so
it only makes sense that racers would
want to know they have the strongest
motor possible. The I-Gauss device
tests the magnetic strength of brushless motor rotors. Epic states that
rotors lose magnetic strength due to
the demagnetizing effects of the stator
while the motor is under power. Real
time and maximum magnetic values
can be displayed, and only a 9V battery
is needed to power the I-Gauss.

TAMIYA MERCEDES AMG DTM
AND CUSCO DUNLOP SUBARU IMPREZA (TT-01
TYPE-E CHASSIS)
In typical Tamiya fashion, these two touring cars exude realism with super accurate
molded polycarbonate bodies, scale-look-
ing wheels and tires, LED light kit and all
the stickers needed to make them look
like their full-size counterparts. Tamiya’s
shaft-driven 4WD TT-01 Type-E chassis
provides superior control.
