hey guys whats so special about the 23mm wheels. I keep hearing alot of you getting them. I know theres more of a tire selection for them but is that it. Are they just a bigger wheel.

You can get 23mm hex in Maxx and 40 series both. The larger hexes are to keep the rims from stripping out. Personally, I'd recommend going with 17mm instead, the 23mm put a lot of stress on the 14mm axle stubs, they are prone to breakage. If you do get 23mm, get the Dace adapters, people have had the most luck with those.

DACE RULE, u will never break a axle or pin with dace hexes, as they use the old 14mm hex to mesh onto as opposed to the proline hexes which only use the axle pin.

The dace do not put alot more pressureo n the pin than the 14mm hexes, as it uses the 14mm hex. If u get 23, dace is the only way to go, the other will just strip out or break axle pins

Too late scotty, I already got it...

the first batches were pretty good, there been a bad batch lately and this is why alot of people are having trouble with them, so hopefully u got 1 out of a good batch, there pretty decent if its a good one.

Goodluck with it [sm=thumbup.gif] I'm pretty sure all you'll need is a longer throttle linkage. Everything else should be good.

Evader ---> MGT

I've actually seemed to make the stock linkage work with the brakes and carby. Yay! IDK, I'll start break in in the morning. I'm so happy!!!

I will get a longer linkage to feel safer, because the current one barely fits, but it'll work for a few tanks of running around.

scottywilkes

yeah i screwed with my collars and moved the horn so i could run the novarrosi carb, it holds up great. No need for a longer linkage

Evader ---> MGT

Yup, exactly what I did. Hopefully it holds up to a few jumps...

scottywilkes

put it this way, ive taken a few upside down landings, taken a 20 metre tumble down a steep hill, a few nosedives, a few rear enders, a few t bones, ALOT of wheelies and its still holding up AWESOME!

Snaut Rocket

congrats guys we just broke 7000 post
And duck up does the zombies fit directly on to the 23mm size wheels. Cause im going to get them in stead of the big joes becuse they are cheaper.

snowbl!nd

You can get 23mm hexes on both maxx size & 40 series wheels...

i have a question when my truck is at the last little bit of gas it takes of so what could i do to keep it from doing that?

Snaut Rocket

I dont understand your question. when your at the leat bit of gas you truck takes off. that doesnt make no sense.

hpi firestorm

i starts to rev high and starts to go a little bit faster

My Feedback: (1)

Sounds like it is leaning out when the gas runs out.Try richening up the hs just a tweak and see if it helps.

hpi firestorm

ok

Well, My MGT is oficially famous here in welland.
I was at the skatepark doing some backflips offa the quarter pipes and stuff, and a paper guy came along and got a couple of good shots of my truck and I, as well as the truck catching some massive air. Then when he left, my throttle started sticking. disconnected it offa the servo and its binding up quite a bit. so i fugure ill pull it apart and clean it and whatnot. BTW can i use "nitro Blast" to clean out my carb or should i use WD-40?

BuzzBomber

My Feedback: (4)

nitro blast is fine. lube it with some after run or marvel mystery oil when you're done.

Snaut Rocket

I would use hpi nitro cleaner but its probably the same thing as the stuff you got.

Coadster67

Uhh, this may sound like a noob question, but how do you get the carb off? i took out the screw but nothings moving

Snaut Rocket

Can some one tell me why this wont work with the mgt.

Read the spec if you dont believe me. I was going to get this one cause its got more rpm.

docphysics

Cuz you can't start it silly!!!!!!!!!! Its got more revies cuz less mass from no pull starter!

Evader ---> MGT

You need a starter box. Our chassis is a block w/ no holes for the flywheel.

Coadster67

Nvm, figured it out
