That I'm not 100% sure, because the MF2 has a different lenght dogbones. I'd also like to know as maybe I'd upgrade to these hubs on my MF2 if they are a direct fit!
well thanks to the guy at the hobby shop I know have bought a RPM gear cover and a set of MIP CVDs that are for the XXX-T not the mf2 version. The cvds are way to long. And he told me the hubs will fit but i really dont trust his word. Especially after buying 40 bucks worth of parts that i cant use. But I may get a used MF1 or a plain ol' xxx-t over the winter so i may get use out of the parts. Well if i find out for sure ill let ya know.

Well if you get a used MF1 ( they sell cheap on eBay ), then you can use the tranny and parts to convert your MF2 to a standard transmission. You'd need only a few parts to upgrade the differential to the new CR model. And you'd get a cheap basher XXX-T that you could sell cheap on eBay too . Almtough not the easiest way, it's probably the cheapest way!

Yeah ive been watching ebay for a while. Im deffinatly getting at least 1 more. so i can put a slow motor in 1 of them and let my kids play around with it. Plus if I can get them into it that will give me more reasons to own more r/c's . I really want to build more than ride. Its real relaxing for me. Im kinda scared to buy a tamiya kit.I may end up like LB and just keep buying kits.

And I dont understand how the XXX trans could be better. But thats what ive read in a few places online. I had a rough start with my MF2 but know that ive mastered the slipper and the diff. Its been a blast. I geared it 19/90 for a few speed runs with my mm5700 and IB4200 pack and it went pretty quick. But as we all know that got things hot quick so know im trying 14/90 to see what temps i get.

Also I have to go back and look but i think there was a mf2 on ebay that had graphite rear arms with the new rear hubs also. That quick release stuff looks interesting.

as far as tires go, will any 2.2 size tire work on the stock losi wheels or even these T4 wheels?

Hey how are you guys with mambas setting them up in the xxx-t ? Like throttle curve and stuff. I cant get any traction Tried the slipper and that didnt help much.

Im sure its because the ground so cold and theres leaves every where. But It does have a lot of punch on take off geared 14/90 and spins out with just a touch of the trigger.
and im running 6-cell ib3800 and ib4200s. So I was hopeing i could tame it a little more. So that it handles better.
And i think i should rake before i ride tomorrow.. Also im going over my truck and doing some cleaning and takeing some good pics. I should have them up in a day or 2.

I set all of the settings to their lowest level, and the throttle curve that has worked best for me looks like a weak S.... shallow curve at the start, and little steeper in the middle, and shallow to the end. I wish I could limit the throttle end point. I also have my tranny locked as tight as it will go... I was thinking about taking the ball bearings out and locking it fully. Whenever I give it too much power, one wheel spins really fast and flips my car over.

oh yeah... get rid of those leaves!

with my mamba 6900 in my mf2 i had the punch control set to 30, and my curve was pretty flat till about the middle then it would shoot up, in other words it would not acellerate to hard off the bat but applying the throttle more than half way it would scream and pick up speed very quickly... that along with setting the slipper, right now its set up for pavement.

I have the model with the losi sport esc by novak and the jr xr2 transmitter and I'm wondering if there's a way to turn off the reverse and still have full brake.

I think the speed control is different. Are you going to race?

Default RE: Offcial xxx-t thread

Does anyone know of where I could get a planetary gear diff for my XXX-T? I want one because the ball diff in there now has a rough action, and no matter how many times I clean and rebuild it, it is never right. Again, I am looking for a planetary gear diff for my XXX-T. I was thinking of possibly using a Stampede or Rustler diff (they are gear diffs right?), but I am unsure if a Stampede or Rustler diff would fit in a XXX-T tranny. Has anyone ever tried putting a gear diff from another truck in their XXX-T? Did it work? And if so, which truck was it off of? Have you ever seen one made just for the XXX-T? I am just so sick and tired of fussing with the ball diff, so I just want a gear diff. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

from what i have heard the suspension are similar, but the tranny set up is different between the mf1 and 2, so the arms the towers bulkheads probably will work
