I had the same experience as Mr. Associated. poor.. poor trucks only good for on road. the ones I had would break just drivng in a lawn without even jumping it. spur gears strip constantly, throws dogbones constanly, breaks uprights and c hubs. It takes a complete line of every hop ups and mod you can get for it to make a tough NMT or EMT. although I did like my old EMT after I got a good amount of hop ups on it and stayed away from silly powerfull low turn motors. I was never pleased with the Nitro MT though.
