Default HPI MT

Well I cant use my old log in name, no longer have that email address.

Made a friend at my new job that runs Nitro too. He took me to a local track for practice time the last 2 sundays.

I had a blast.

But, I got bit by the hop up bug again.

In the last 2 weeks i have upgraded the turn buckles to titanium, with blue ends, new ball joints old ones kept popping off.

Replaced the reciever alkaline pack with a hump pack, and added a Hi Torque servo for steering today, and a blue aluminum servo arm. I kept over steering like mad! I could not believe the difference, I replaced the futaba s3003 with a hitec 645. I went from 40oz of torque to 133oz. The difference is crazy(servo was only 39.99 locally). Not to mention the new servo is faster. I have to completely relearn how to drive the truck.


NEWays. Im wanting to go with silver and blue aluminum hop up parts to match the new turnbuckles. I found the a Arms and Shock towers at www.asiatees.com Anybody ever used them? Or know of any other online shops with silver or blue aluminum for the HPI MT(not MT2 or MT2SS).

By the way watching him run his Losi LST and the Savages I saw at the track I'm also gonna buy the Savage 4.6 kit. I want a monster truck as well as my ST4x4 ;-).
