RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
My mt2 came today :]. It seems alright. But it did come with a half tank of fuel so I'm not too happy about that. I'll be taking the engine apart tomorrow to check for rust.
I tested the the diffs by turning one wheel one way and the other wheel spun the other way (with a little lag at first). Seems good. The only thing is that it sounds a bit rough when I push it on all fours. Could this be the center gears/diff (is there a center diff?) gone bad or is this just a normal thing?
It came with the rotostart, but it's missing the silver wand part, and the battery and charger (which he said it would come with). If he doesn't send them I'm just going to buy a pull start instead of investing in a battery and charger. I might do it anyways so it's just one less thing to worry about.
It came with a bunch of spares and 5 extra servos. Most of them are frankensteined with plugs from one jimmy-rigged onto another. None of them are the same brand though, so could someone tell me what the stock servos are so I can find which ones they are? There's a hi-torque servo installed on the steering and a "race" servo on the throttle. Later on I'll post what all the ones are that it came with.
As far as I can tell, the only other thing it's missing is the air filter. Which one would fit the T-15 engine? Or are they all pretty much the same?
Also, the chassis is red :/. He said it came out of the box like that, but I'm not so sure. There's a little scratching on the back edge where I can see purple underneath, and the picture on the box is of a purple chassis.
