hmm, ya got me stumped then. Only thing I can say is try swapping the servos from the nami to the mt2 and see what happens then.

i got thinking tonight when i took my truck apart to clean it, is there a way to turn the mt2 into electric?

KeithjV

Sure, you would just need to come up with a mount for the motor and then just swap it out. The new brushless systems have a lot of torque. If you used a lipo pack you might be able to get one small enough to fit where the fuel tank is now.

what would give best traction hpi sand throwers or proline sand paws

My Feedback: (19)

well i got thinking that if i re done the guts of the truck that i could get it to work with either lipo or nimh batteries. i thought about trying to get the motor where the tank is, the esc either where the motor is or the throttle servo and the batteries in the other spot that the esc isnt.

KeithjV

drift what kind of surface are you running on?
sniper I would try to put the motor where the engine is now and the battery where the tank is. The esc you could mount on top of the receiver box or up by the front shock brace.

DriftingDragon

i say take everything off except the servo and drive line and see what fits then make mounts for it

and any ideas on the tires i listed

KeithjV

dragon, what type of surface are you going to be running on?

DriftingDragon

beach sand, i was thinking hpi sand throwers or proline sand paws, which would give the best traction

KeithjV

It looks like the sand paws should give you better traction in the sand. But the throwers look like you might be able to run on some grass as well as the sand. I could be run though.

ok would those fit on some 2.2 axial beadlocks

Are 2.2 beadlocks any good on a nitro? I have a rockcrawler and it moves slower then i can walk and sometime the bead pops off. I would think on a nitro the tires should be glues to the wheel.

DriftingDragon

how do you put the 18ss+ air filter together cause this is the first nitro i got and there is no instructions for the filter in the book

jumpanddrop

what exhaust header and pipe did you use. wanna put a rear exaust on mine to

xxSLiMxx

Its made by Tsais, it comes with everything you need to install it. Have a look about 2-3 pages back (pg 691) theres pictures of my truck with the rear exhaust!

jumpanddrop

ya i saw that, im going to look for one of those now. also it makes more room for a bigger tank

xxSLiMxx

You can fit a savage 160cc tank with a stock exhaust.

jumpanddrop

what site did you buy that exhaust from?

xxSLiMxx

i got it from my LHS, But here if where i 1st found it http://tsais.com/products/exhaust/E1019-21.html

sweet man thx

KeithjV

Hey drift, what part are you having trouble with?
I know of a bunch of guys running the beadlocks and Ive never heard of them slipping under "normal" use. Could the tires be the wrong size for the rims you are using?

DriftingDragon

i havnt got the rims and tires yet
i figured out the filter but should the flywheel be rubbing against the brake disc cause i cannot mount it any other way

KeithjV

No it shouldnt rub. Can you move the engine forward on the mounts at all? It should only take a mm or so to clear.

DriftingDragon

i have no adjustment forward and back[:@]

Try posting a pic, maybe we can spot the problem.
