Default RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread

whoever was wondering about how that 13/16 cb and 47/43 spur ran.... To much bottom end. When the tires hooked up with the off road tires I can pull wheelies. with on road tires they don't have enough traction. I took it to the track today (sorry no pics) and ran it around. The track was to dusty. Hard to keep the truck straight. Ended up stripping the spurs in the two speed while screwing around in the parking lot. got a hard launch that hooked up real good and that did the spurs in. I'm going to swap over to 52/49 spurs tonight and I'll get some vids tomorrow at lunch. Anyways, if you switch to 47/43 gearing you will still have a ton of bottom end and A LOT of top end.

Why are you guys changing the knuckles and C-hubs? because they are weak? I broke one today just from coming off a jump wrong.

I'm really thinking about buying an 18ss kit and selling the motor out of it and dropping in my CV-R in the SS.
