Default RE: Tips for HPI MT2 owners

Depends on how much money you've got.

Got alot - Get the .18SS engine and change the pinion to a 13(A813) or 14(A814). The .18 has so much more low end power, you do not need to small pinion to get you going.

Got Some - Try the Titanium turnbuckles definately stiffens the chassis and a aluminum flywheel. The flywheel really lets it rev. I have found the stock clutch shoes work as well or maybe better than the racing. They definately have more surface area. Or try a better exaust. I bought the HPI Racing exaust, but I think I might buy the Associated for .15 engines.

Got a little - Get a better air cleaner. The stock one is garbage. I got a Motor Saver. Once installed, its like someone gave you instant horsepower. You will have to lean you engine a little bit after being installed.

If you are crazy like me, get all the stuff and have fun at the track.
