Is there such thing as a 2 speed transmission for the MT2? i just bought mine yesterday and have not even broken in the engine yet, but im reading reviews saying that any nitro vehicle with a 2 speed will work the MT2 over... so i was wondering if there was such an upgrade? Thanks.
Also, I have never seen the Savage X SS in action but from what I hear I would agree it would probably spank an MT. If you ask me, the MT 18ss isn't all that great. The motor isnt that powerful. The 18ss truck itself is awesome though. The motor in the X ss kit on the otherhand is awesome. My buddies 18ss can't touch my MT1 with the CV-R in it.
46u would be the guy to chat to about this. He has both I believe.
Well, I have never actually raced my MT2 vs my XSS, however I think it would be an interesting test. You're right, the K4.6 motor is absolutely crazy...amazing torque, awesome RPM for top-speed, it really is a killer. However with the .18 CV-R in the MT2 and the tuned pipe AND the fact that it is quite a bit lighter, I reckon it would have a decent chance....
Just from a comparison on how they drive and since I have driven both cars, this is what I would reckon would happen in the drag...
- Off the mark, the Savage would rip the MT2..I mean the thing can pull wheelies on command!
- However I reckon the MT2 would claw it back in the mid-range and would close the distance when it reaches its high RPM, however the minute the Savage hits 2nd gear, the MT2 would be history....
I really want to have a drag between them, however I'm only got one transmitter at the moment. Am going to buy a second one and then I can test this...
