Default RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread

Weird... My MT2 was once running upside down for around 25 seconds while I went to go get it. I had a pulled muscle in my leg and couldn't run worth anything, so I just walked over there. I was rather surprised that it didn't die, but it didn't. I have a pair of Road Rage tires from Proline, but I don't want to take off the old tires since they seem to do pretty well. I run mine mostly on pavement and have been rather pleased with the traction I'm getting; the tires don't show much wear after 10 or so tanks on the pavement at all.

But really, for the price of that pipe... You really can't go wrong. All that I had to do was saw off part of the mounting bar with a Dremel and then stick it in a vice and bend it with a hammer. Wasn't hard at all and took about 5 minutes. It fits really well onto the stock header and little rubbery thing that connects them (I don't know the technical term for it ). I just tightened down a small zip-tie really tight and made sure that the mounting bar was secure, retune, and I was off! The thing flies! I'll get a picture of it in just a second.

Here are those pictures:

Sorry that they're so dark. I had to use my camcorder for this instead of my digital camera. I'll try to get some brighter shots tomorrow outside when it is sunny. Hopefully, I'll be able to find my digital camera...
