Bad advice!!!^^^^ Get the mt2 18ss KIT You will not regret it! I was going to get this kit for my first nitro but my hobby shop didnt have it in stock so I bought a cheap rtr buggy. I regret not waiting and getting the 18ss kit. My buggy is nice but i've had problems that would of been much easier to deal with if I had bought a kit in the first place. I've heard that its very easy to assemble, it will just take you some time, but the directions are fairly easy. This is a great truck and I wish i would of gotten one.

Its a good car, sometimes has diff trouble if you dont shim it right. Dont get up your hopes on racing cause its the only one in its class. Can be made very fast with a .15 tz or a .18 os, and the nitro rs4 two speed tranny fits if you want to give up jumping.

RE: well here we go
If you go to the stadium truck forum there is over 340-page thread on the MT2. I have a MT 1 ¾ that I have well over 7 gallons of run time on it. I have only strip one set of spider gears as I let some one drive it and they ran off the track and landed on a big rock. HPI has some of the best instruction on the market. DO NOT GET THE RTR get the SS.
