No I have a MT 1 3/4 and use the gears out of it in my Rush which is the same diff gears as the MT2. The Rush gears are pot metal and the MT gears are MUCH more durable. But you still need to have the slipper set properly!!!!

OK for those that have never heard of a MT 1 3/4 I will enplane. My MT 1 3/4 started life as a MT1. I have up graded it to a MT2 SS other then the chassis, upper deck and the radio box. I even put the 100cc fuel tank in it that HPI said will not fit a MT1 but it will with some minor modification. I have MANY RC vehicles. I sold some so I only have around 25 not counting my few air and water RC vehicles.
