The Thunder Tiger MT-4 G3 has turned into an extremely popular basher truck. Everywhere we’ve gone this summer there seemed to be more MT-4s roaming around than E-REVO’s or Savage Flux’s. Because they big Thunder Tiger has become so popular we’ve decided to do a series of articles showcasing some tips, tricks, and mods to make it an even better bash machine.
In this first installment we’ll be going over some of the basics that a new owner might come across. Out of the box the MT-4 is awesome, but it isn’t without small issues.
The stock wheel nuts like coming loose. Once again this is a result of the MT-4′s massive power and rpm. A loose wheel can lead to a stripped wheel hex, costing you a new set of wheel/tires. You can use the wrench that came with the truck and re-tighten them after every run, or you can fix the issue completely by installing a set of serrated wheel nuts. We popped on a set of Pro-Line (#6090-00, $21) 17mm serrated nuts and haven’t had a single issue since, even on 6S. Cost- zero if you check after every run, $21 if you go with the Pro-Line’s.
