Status: offline 		Tell me, could i convert my rs4 3 evo into MT 2, because it basically is the same just a few changes like the wheels, shock towers, shocks and you know the rest?

Status: offline 		hi, i highly doubt that you could turn a rs4 into an mt2.
I'm not really sure why, but if i were you, i'd sell the rs4 and get a reasonably priced 1/8 buggy.
I was looking at an mt2 in a shop when i was getting my very first car, and for less money i got a .25 powered much better quality nitro buggy. I just don't really think that the .15 in the mt2 has enough power.
the mt2 also had mostly plastic part on it, wheras my buggy has full aluminum part like turnbuckles etc. The guy in the shop also said that the buggy was a better choice, and it goes quicker.
What else could you want?

Status: offline 		i have the mt2 18 ss and it is probably the easiest kit to put together.the instructions couldn't be easier to follow than if hpi came to your house and assembled it for you.i haven't broken a single part on this truck and it has taken some serious crashes.my brother in law has a traxxas nitro rustler 2.5 and i beat him every time.
i cannot express in words how good this truck is.get it and you will not be dissapointed
good luck and enjoy mate

Status: offline 		I have the HPI MT2 18SS kit. It handles really well on rough ground. i had all sorts of problems with it in the beginning but once i figured everything out its a really good truck. It has 4WD so it doesnt do tight dough nuts but it is great for off roading. I would keep ur rc out of the sand though. Sand can really wear down parts and can be hard on the drivetrain

Status: offline 		I have a rtr mt2 and it is cripe! Not worth the hassle! I have already striped both differentials! The 15 is 2 small and i think really struggles! I would suggest to buy an 18ss instead as it has the hop up parts already! I would not reccomend the rtr mt2 to anybody, as i am very dissapointed!!

Status: offline 		My friend has had a mt-2 for about 2 months now and broken it all the time, it is an easy truck to braek but is a very nice and fast car,spares/hop ups are easy to get hold of and it is quite cheap for what you get
