I wish I still had my mt2. . . I almost gave it away to one of my best friends, sold it for 100 with a brand new tz in it. now I get to watch him use it ... lol. Another bashing season is on its way!!!! I cant wait lol. So how are all you guys doing? Its been ages since I poped in. Been way to busy with black ops and work lol.

SLAYERDUDE

You were a noob last time I posted here lol.. now I'm a noob.
Good to see ya eminint.. ahh screw it can't spell ur name drunk...

thinking of geting a mt2 just wanted to know if its close to get discontinued or anything because i know the EU site has the bullet now

SyCo_VeNoM

honestly no one knows.
Europe it was discontinued about a year ago.
Some one e-mailed HPI and they said they had no intentions of releasing the Bullet here. Given that there are a few models that are in Europe that never hit North America I'd take that as truth.

So for now no its not being discontinued.

If you are worried about it being DC'd, and just want a good RC that can drive in most situation I'd get a ofna 1/8th buggy like the jammin for $300. You can probably just slap a st body on that seeing the wheel bases are about the same as the mt2's

@ slayer, I'll definatly check that out mang, So you still runnin your savage xl 5.9? I ported and polished my 5.9 and its been pretty good. I need 2 sets of diffs now i just dont want to pay over 100 to do them lol.

SLAYERDUDE

Rigger that is one fine ass looking truck.


after few months I got my mt2 out but getting sick of my t-15 engine and having to tune it all time according to weather + want a faster one can anyone help me with a fast engine like.18 that'll drop straight in and require tuning/running in once an high and low speed needles setting then I can just get it out each time start it up an go instead of fiddling it kills it for me

Guys could you help I was ripping about with my car without shell on all was running perfect until my battery cover the bit where arieal is attached to came off an went under my wheel all was ok I pushed the arieal wire back up arieal pipe an clipped it back on but now my car revs alot at idle an decides to accelerate off without need of me unless hold break on. Any ideas?
Do you think the arieal cable has been yanked an damaged something in side the transmiter box

finally about to finish mine after buying the 18ss+ kit years ago. school takes all your time, so thats how it goes. here's a couple pics, its mostly stock.




my futaba 3pl gets here tuesday to finish it off. thats an O.S. 18cv-rx with a motor saver two stage air filter. hitech ultra torque servo for steering. everything else is pretty stock.

is it just me, or does it look like the graphite towers are getting discontinued? im super bummed no one has them cus buying those are the only way to adjust shock position.

many thanks ruger! still i think they're on their way out, so i may have to snag those quick.

anyone else on here run the o.s. 18 in their mt2?

Blowerz

Unclezesta please let me no what the crvx is like in there as I have standard mt2 with few mods like fail safe, motorsaver, new springs, shock oil, shock socks and new rims and on road tyres but want to buy a os 18 like yours but weather it's worth the money as I'll need to buy all the heavy duty cups an diffs aswell as have standard mt2 and it'll probably shread them.

unclezesta

My Feedback: (1)

will do. i know its a good motor, as i bought it off a friend and so ive seen what it could do in his truck. ill let you know how it does in the mt2.

finally got my kit body painted up, here's a look:




opinions?

I like it. It looks sharp. Idont normally care for orange but I like the way you broke it up

esavagenoobie

looks good man!

unclezesta

My Feedback: (1)

thanks dudes. i guess it wasn't totally dried when i took those pictures because the orange actually darkened up a bit over night.

finally got my first runs in! mostly ripping skin off my fingers on the pull start and a lot of tuning, but daaaaamn this thing is fun. i was running it around a baseball diamond, so it had lots of nice loose dirt to tear up. i felt so stupid, though, when i drive it up to myself to adjust a needle, look down and realize "oh yeah, i took the air filter off." hope its ok. i think it is though, because a little after this i got a pretty good tune dialed in, and man does that o.s. get that thing moving. insane doughnuts in the dirt, or i could keep all four tires spinning around the diamond seemingly endlessly. very happy with this truck.

FINALLY, after four years, my baby LIVES!!

hey all, the search function isn't working for me on this issue, and honestly... there are 846 pages...

i have the 18ss+ kit with the stock wheels, stock arms, shocks, etc. it looks like the wheels are rubbing on the little washer that hold the shocks on the arms... there is already a pretty good groove being dug into the inside of the wheels after only about three tanks...

has anyone else had this issue? ive done pretty much all my driving on a baseball diamond with loose dirt, doing a lot of power sliding.

KeithjV

Can you take a picture of where its rubbing?

unclezesta

My Feedback: (1)

yeah.

pictures of the problem described above:

here i am holding the wheel up to the truck just to show what is happening:
