Default RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread

Thank you,

I do appreciate the compliment.

I have been waiting for TowerHobbies to send me a frequent buyers card, because that is where I get most of my stuff. I also have a LHS that has very good prices for the out of the ordinary things - like a CVEC for $37. - It was a steal.

As far as things to put on your MT to make it better - with a price - I cannot think of any other than better air cleaner. I hope that there is a LHS there in the UK that can get you good one. They do make a lightweight flywheel for the MT2 - makes it rev like a sob - but it has been problematic for me. I have bought two of them and busted them both. The sway bars are not a cheap hopup, $37 at tower, but it allows me to race against 1/8 buggies in our open class. As far as the body, I painted it myself to look just like the HPI truck on their website - I thought I did spendid.

Back when I had the .15 in mine the exaust was the best improvement. Look for an Associated exaust for a .15 an you will be extremely happy with the results. I bought the HPI exuast and was very disappointed.

You are only limited by you imagination and your funds.
