RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
Wow...I have just arrived in Nagaoka in a smaller prefecture in Japan...so strange to have poeple look at you as if your from another planet! I have just lost for the year my bashing buddies and I cant race here as there really is a non-existant realm of RC enthusiasts as far as I can tell...oh well, still have the freeride machine to bomb around the mountains with.
I took the new 2speed out for a test run with a new cog set up. Now that I have updated the motor to a more powerfull one with far more torque, I can now lower the gear ratio so that it can handle more speed. without the torque and power, the gear will not engage due to a lack of RPM the engine delivers. I got the Ofna Picco .21 8port engine with a turbo plug, finished the breakin and holy ****...this thing really rips arse. I really cant assume what its top speed is and I dont want to type any bullcrap either so I have no idea as to a guess...who can when your stationary and a small little blip screams past you like brittney spears on serious LSD attempting to sound sexy while pounding out a power ballad to the masses on a screech-a-phone...? Anyway, I have just recently got a vid so I cant try to get some footage when I have time, on the Bash your truck site for you guys to ponder at. Might try to get a speed reader but I really cant for the life of me justify such an amount of money for the ego of saying I can get this speed...pretty pricy things, or at least the ones that are worth while getting.
MastaDizasta, did a bit of a check for that item - even if I had a spare for you for free; but I came up with big nadda, zip, ziltch...zero...? One shop as I said B4 wanted me to buy a complete kit just to get at the small silver bolts you are after. But I do have some from a different kit that may fit...I will match them up and if they are all OK...you can have them bro.
