I would have to say the clutch bell, and clutch bearings, mine were destroyed within the first 7-8 tanks.
Upgraded it to a 15T savage clutch bell, and ball bearing clutch, vs cheap plastic clutch bearing
Never had any other problems besides that, except hitting the curb at 46mph, imagine that, [sm=disappointed.gif]

the weakest part of the truck is the c hub and the knuckles. those should immediatly be replaced with aluminum after the plastic ones snap in half

Is that why the MT2 has been updated in a while? It hit a wall?

Sorry, I just saw him post and wanted to see the "JATO killer"!!!

Yeap!!!!
That's pretty much the reason why it has not been updated in awhile, was on holidays for a week, and been waiting for parts to replace the broken ones.

Anybody using the vented clutch bell? Does it fit the MT2? Is it just as durable as the standard HD? Does it give an advantage?
