Thats my engine setup, I'm running 15/49T Gearing. I am using the THS Pipe atm as it seems to bit a bit quieter and seems to give it a bit of good top end. The Hpi seems to be the same but a bit better on the low end.

I use the carbon gearboxes as the others will flex a bit. I have the 18SS+ so I have the HD Diffs, Cups, Dog bones (you will need them). Grab a few sets of extra gears aswell cause you will strip them fast. On the engine shaft you will see a black nut, remove it but leave the drive washer which has some corrugated bits on it. You won't need it at all, slam the flywheel on and then this (would have come with your MT2) http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXM720&P=7, then your clutch shoes, if your using the racing ones I like to use the hole closest to the end as it gives it better punch.

Your disc brake may come in contact with the flywheel though as mine did but it wore down in a few runs (it was only slightly touching).

You will have to mod the header for the O.S as I can't seem to find any other header that will fit nicely with the MT2. The pull start will hit the pipe header so I just used a linisher for 20 Secs and sanded it down.

Its a lot of fun when you have it fully uprgraded though. I think I spent around $400 AUD on it for mods. And another $120 a while ago. But good luck. Most of these guys on here helped me so they will be able to help you. I am going to slam my .28 Aluminum pipe on there on the weekend, I heard that the TZ likes the BB pipes. Ill see how it goes.

Also, I found these a few days ago while browsing for TVP's. They are much cheaper then the eBay ones. http://www.innovative-rc.com/index.p...aee8c37edb3815. I am going to pick them up when I order my TVP's.

46, Are you able to link me to your header and pipe? I am looking at getting a Picco P3 .28 this week for my other savage, either that or I will keep my Nosram .28 and slam a few Innovative LCG TVP's and losi shock conversion kit (Im running the losi shocks into modified arms atm)
