yeah, cen's forum tends to get messed up for a fw days at least once a month.... I dont know why they can't seem to get it fixed.

The CV's on the rear work good, that what I always ran. Only thing is, they are more expensive if you do manage to break one.
The MT2 is a rather mediocre truck out of the box, but it is pretty easy to work on, and with some fairly inexpensive modifications, you can have it pretty solid and very fast.
Check out a few of the user galleries from people in this forum on funfactor threads, you will see some pretty sweet stuff.
