RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
hello guys, i just bought a new hpi mt2. i got home last night and thought i'd start the break in process. when i tried to start it for the first time with the roto start it sounded like a lot of metal hitting metal. when it did start the sound went away. so i took the igniter off and the car quit. so i tried it again. same sound so i thing it might be the roto start on the motor. start right up with than a sec. pulled the igniter off it died. started again left the igniter on thinking it might need to get the plug hotter before i take it off. let it stay on for about 15 sec., fuel is spitting and dripping out the pipe alot. pulled the igniter off car quit. ok getting a little mad but not too much. tried to start again, it would not... flooded. pulled the plug turned over the motor with the roto start, no sharp noise like metal hitting metal nice and semi quit like it should sound like when you start any other rc. ok not i think it might be the plug hitting the cylinder. very mad now. i drained the fuel put avery thing back up mixed 2 or 3 drinks and quit for the night. does any of this sound familiar to yall at all, or did i get a new lemon. i never had this kind of problem with any other rc.
