Default RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread

ORIGINAL: savage14

i am thinking of adding a nmt 2 to my savage. how will the nmt2 compare to my savage in durability, speed, handling ect and what class can i race it in at a track

thanks alot
I got my Savage first, then the MT2 just recently.

Stock for stock I think its faster than the .21. My Savage currently has a new head, S-25, motorsaver, and pipe and it seems faster than the MT. The Savage also has a lot more torque.

The MT2 is very fast, especially since its only a single speed stock. Low end is not bad for a .15, but it screams on the top end. I cant wait to put a 2 speed in it, it feels like its got a lot left in the top end. HPI recommends not having a 2speed off road for jumping and such, but my Savage takes care of the really bad terrain. The MT2 is good enough for street/dirt lot racing.

It handles like its on rails on the street. On dirt, it turns sharply and quickly. It is easy, howver, to oversteer and spin out in loose dirt. I imagine its just my driving style.

Any other questions?
