Default RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread

Yeah, the SS had a 15T clutch bell but I don't know what the internal gearing is compared to the regular MT2 but assume its the same. The firestorm has a taller 50/19 gearing setup but the internal gearing is 4 versus 52/13(or 15 for G3) and 2.9 internal for the MT2. Overall the FS and MT2 are geared almost the same with the FS being between the 13 and 15 T MT2 versions of the truck. I guess it makes sense to gear two trucks with the same engine and tire size the same but I was surprised the MT2 wouldn't be geared a little shorter to compensate for the 4wd.
