just wondering does anyone knowwhat other engine will fit straight into the mt2 ,make and size , and if so i was always wondering will it fit my curreny engine mounts [nt-16] or will i have to get another set to suit that engine , any size around .16
thanks in advance madmark

With out changing you exhaust you will need an .18 or smaller engine with a standard crank, rotary carb and side exhaust. O.S. .18 engine should bolt right in (pm poorjudgement for more info he has this motor installed).

If you are willing to change to a rear exhaust I would suggest an XTM .18 engine with a standard crank and rotary carb. I have seen this combo in a CEN Rally and it fit without any modifications other than the exhaust change.

To use a .21 or larger you will need CT4 engine mounts, rear exhaust, and a supply of diff cups ( the stock cups don't like that much power).

Probably the most cost effective is to rebuild you .16 into an .18. I have done this and can almost gaurantee that you will not be dissapointed. There is a noticable increase in torque and for me the engine seems more reliable.

the os should fit, but you may have problems breaking drivetrain parts... One of the better upgrades is the epic .18.. It is a direct fit as long as you get the rot carb... rear exhaust,standard crank.... I personally would go with the cen 3.0 engine or just upgrade your nt-16 to an .18....

I put the OS .15cvr in my FF. I got the non pull start model because I thought it would make starting easier. The stock engine mounts are too high for the starter box so I had to change to lower ones. After a few months though I put the CEN nt .16 back in. The reason for this is even though OS engines are good, they are not as great an improvement as you may think. CENs' engines are really easy to tune and hold their settings very well. They also seem to have loads of torque and start pretty reliably too. Why not try the .16-.18 conversion before splashing out loads for a new mill?

thanks for that lads ,seems .16 to .18 sounds the best bet all the other engine sound too much trouble with the rear exhaust hassle, ,so u guys reckon go for .18 piston,sleeve,C.rod ,will give more torque and i read on a post it gives better cooling ,while im here, i can never seem to tighten the head bolts right with out stripping the heads on the bolts [ any less tighter and the head seems to loose oil out and around the head, have this prob with all of my engines ] is their a proper hex driver u can get off cen or other crowds that work better than normal allen keys
thanks lads appreciate the help ,madmark
