Tim Mohr — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 16:30:41 +0000

The crew over at Hobbico have just released a new action video for the Thunder Tiger MT4-G3 monster truck. The MT4-G3 won our “Bash Vehicle of the Year” in 2011, and now it’s even better, coming with a new radio system and waterproof speed controller. We highly recommend the MT-G3 if you are a hardcore basher, it’s fast, tough, and great fun to drive.

The new part number is #6401-F111 and it has a street price of around $590. The latest edition of the Thunder Tiger MT4-G3 should be hitting hobby shop shelves in late May.

We just posted the ECX Revenge Review. While going through some video footage, we caught this accidental wall slam that seemed like something we should share. Usually we do this stuff on purpose, this one was out of the blue, got lucky, and caught it. Enjoy!

That’s one of those slams that just makes you cringe. For the record, I believe Adam or I were driving in the first two test laps you see, and then we handed the transmitter over to Wrench.
