Remember if you put a larger and more powerful motor in you will eventually need to upgrade other components as well. I think the .18SS is the ideal upgrade motor for the MT 2.

Status: offline 		What do you guys think of a 17T CB with a 52T spur gear with the T-15? Is that too high a ratio? Would 17/49 work better?

Status: offline 		the best motor you can put in a mt2 is OS 18 cv-r or OS 18tz i have the cv-r and it goes lkike a bomb but you will need to upgrade you spur gear and gear ratio and you will also have to upgrade your diffs.

Status: offline 		Right now Im running an LRP Z.18s with 15T CB and 52T spur and the truck flies. I'm looking into a different pipe to see if I can squeeze a little more power out of the engine.

Status: offline 		Does any body out there know where I can find hop up parts or aluminum parts for my MT 2? I have added almost all of the alum. upgrades for my savage and now I want to upgrade my MT 2 but I am having problems finding them. So far all I have done is add the O.S. 18 tz turbo. which works great.

Status: offline 		If you do a search on ebay or google you should find a ton of aluminum parts for the mt2.
Is there anything in particular you are looking for?

Status: offline 		I have been having a heck of a time with my front shocks. First I kept unseating the plastic cap on the stock shock, so I bought HR front shocks. Yesterday a bent the shaft of the new shock. What shocks do you all recommend for the g3.0?

Status: offline 		I have the aluminum ones on one truck and the stock plastics on the other. So far I havent had any problems. Are you hitting things thats causing the plastic to unseat?
I know a lot of people use these http://stores.ebay.com/TEAM-BLUE-STAR-HIGH-PERFORMANCE and they seem to work and hold up well.

Status: offline 		hey guys, i have a HPI nitro RS4 3 Type ss and im gettin bored with the on road touring car thing, i was wanting to convert it to a mt2 but im kinda gettin stuck getting info and parts to do all the work, this (in my thoughts) would be a great project, i already have a t-maxx 3.3 and i love the off road, its just the dang ground clearance with that rs4, the chassis look the same on both the car and truck. any ideas?????

Status: offline 		All you should really need is the front and rear setups, meaning the shock towers, a-arms etc. The center of the car and MT2 are pretty much the same.
