well it has been a LONG time since i last been on this board. MT 2 was my first rc i got last december. since then i have gotten two other R/C's, a monster gt and a hyper 7. also, my gf got an ofna lx comp 2. so now im back on the mt 2 and ready to upgrade again. i was thinking of doing the big block conversion, but then i thought against it. i seen a couple pics in this thread of the mt 2 that crashed with the big block in it. besides i dont wanna upgrade too much stuff on it just so it can handle a big block, thats what my mgt is for. so i'm thinking of getting the .18 tz-tx. are the threaded body shocks worth getting for the mt 2?
Check out this thread - addresses everything you'll need to get in order to run a high performance motor in the MT2 RTR.

As regards the HPI threaded shocks, I run these on my MT2 and can certainly recommend them....they are not just 'bling', they are fully adjustable and extremely durable - haven't broke one yet and have certainly given my MT2 the works on my local track. However you might want to hold off until you get the rest of the engine/drivetrain upgrades you are thinking about for you MT2....in the meantime, if a plastic shock breaks, its pretty cheap to replace and they are pretty durable anyway!
