will it wheelie stock? and if not what needs to be done

sorry but no it wont wheelie. it may if you play around with the gearing or put a larger engine in as i plan to do at some piont with my MT2.

no wheelie ......... can you put t-maxx tires and wheels on it??

.... and do the tires just not have enough traction or what? why wont it wheelie

You can put any 2.2 wheels on it that have a hex mount. As far as doing wheelies out of the box, it wont. You have a four wheel drive, seven pound truck with a clutch. if you put a different clutch set up and have it tuned perfect it may pull up a little bit. Gears can make a big diff, but you will lose top end doing that. So, do you want wheelies or do you want fast? That is a trade off in any car or truck, model or 1:1. Upgrading the engine will give you the best of both worlds, but it comes at a much higher price than gears or a clutch. Dont get me wrong though, the MT2 is an awesome truck. you will not be disappointed.

so... a twin engine mt2 might be able to pull a wheelie? if it can get traction

Put one engine at each wheel, that way you can spin them all and throw some mad rooster tails.

on a serious note though, you can buy a .21 conversion kit for the MT2. but it comes with a large engine from the start, so to start with i don't think a .21 is really necessary. My MT2 is so fast that I cant run it on the road without dropping my suspension down.

cool.... maybe i should get an mt2 and put twin 21's in it


there's no such thing as too much power!!!! might need some new tires though......

Just wait till Cen releases the Genesis and put the .46 in the MT2. Talk about frame twisting power.

yeah... i think the twin mt2 would be cheaper.. and might not strip the gears... i think the .46 is too big! it looks like a .21 is a little big

it does 45mph with one engine.... think what it would do with 2!!! 70-90 maybe? need larger pinions with the dual too...



sounds like trouble... kinda like the menace 21.. what do you think it would look like after hitting a brick wall?

It would look like the front tires are missing, and the front frame section was bent. But it would look pretty cool right before the wall. If you gear it a little higher and run it on road only you can get probably 55 or so out of it with the stock engine. I think dual .21's may be a bit over kill though. For serious power, I am sure you could almost squeeze a .25 in it. Then it would be flipping over any time you touched the throttle.

sounds fun.......anyone from Kansas or Nebraska wanna help me build it?

Arkansas!

too far.... you could help fund it though

does anyone know if the new era alu arms for the mt2 are the same size as the arms for the rally car??? and if not please make rally arms in alu.

Do you have any info about the genesis, as far as release date, price, and what not? That thing looks seriously awesome, I drool when I see it.

Oh, wait, sorry. I found some.

TRY PUTTING IN SOME STIFFER SPRINGS LOWER GEARING ON CLUTCH BELL AND SOME METAL CLUTCH SHOES AND REDUCE THE WIGHT OF YOUR TRUCK IF THAT DOESNT WORK BUY A STRONGER MOTOR.

mine wheelies all the time and it next to stock (only a few mods)

If you can get a T-Maxx and Savage to wheelie (which isn't hard), then you can get an MT2 to do it too. Last summer at a race in the monster truck class I saw a Cen MT2 and it did wheelies like nuts, driver told me he used 70wt shock oil and a Sirio .18 and pretty much everything else was stock (though I think he changed clutchbell gearing) and he finished 2nd behind a .21 converted T-Maxx.

I don't really bother but my Nitro MT with .15 CV can almost do wheelies, so you can just stiffen the suspension and lower the gearing and have a slightly more powerful motor (a Megatech .16 should be plenty).

Element yours wheelies? what mods do you have?

stiffer shock oil and a tuned pipe it wheelied stock too but not very high of the ground.

Dosnt it come stock with a tuned pipe? or did you add a better one?

Will a tuned pipe help you wheelie? (i think it will. Not sure)

I bought a new era tuned pipe i think the performance is a little better than stock pipe and it looks better too Not shure if it helped it wheelie but it wheelied box stock too so....

I htink im going to order the wheelie bar so i dont tip over any more
