i recently bought a hpi mt with a blue groove electric drivetrain conversion. i dont know if it is a MT1 or a MT2(dont know the differences)
but i also recently bought a bunch of bodies for cheap. among them was a jconcepts illuzion body. its new/unsued with no mounting holes. i test fit it on my hpi mt and it seems like it would mount fine.
im not going to use the body. i would sell it. PM if interested. also, the window are clear, i dont know why they look funny in the pic. my camera sucks.
that was a MT1
MT2's had front bumpers that looked like a truggies(along with different body mounts, and shock towers). You can pretty much just slap on the MT2's front bumper,shock towers, body mounts, and shocks to make it a MT2 though
Its a tad bit harder to convert it to a nitro MT2 that requires a new chassis plate and some other parts (I've done it
)
I remember seeing you post it last week or so.
yeh, im waiting on traxxas to send a replacement vxl ESC(this make the 2nd time the replaced my vxl esc for free, even tho it is not under warrenty)
i still have to figure out how to gear it tho. i want to be able to use 3s lipo. and i think the spur is a differnt pitch then whats used on the ruster, so i will likely need new pinion gears. i might be able to use ones i bought for the emaxx, but i havent tried them yet.
thanx for posting the differences. sounds like the body may not work on his. also, i think i will pick up a front bumper for the MT2. i think it will look much better(plus be tougher) with a larger bumper.
