would anyone reccomend the Ofna .12S Engine for the mt2? Just wondering... or what other lower priced engines would be decent for the MT2? Like under $100... I know its cheap.. but... i'm just curious.... I know the crx is only 110....but I was just wondering what else is available... thanks
#8583
i dont think there is anythin else available for under $100 that has more power than the t-15 unless you could find a cv-rx for really cheap on ebay or sumthin
#8584
according to tower hobbies the .12s on has .55 hp which sound like it would be a downgrade from the t-15 [link]http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXUH46&P=7[/link]

As far as another engine you just cannot beat the CV-RX for good power but not to much, easy to tune, holds a tune, durability and user friendly. Yes there are other things out there but most will not give you all the above like the CV-RX for the money.

I clean and service mine after each day of running. Then about every 3 months I take them apart to do a detailed service and cleaning. Every one at the track and on the forums wonder why mine hold up so well because I do keep them maintained. I even discharge the receiver packs at the end of the day and I have CHEAP receiver packs that are over 4 years old. Good maintenance and keeping them clean is very important to have healthy truck!

Consider yourself very lucky. I know when I first started running the MT1 and MT2 I coundn't get more then 2 tanks of run time before I had to replace the gears, and even less time before I had to replace or fix the plastic knuckles. I do drive hard just read my signature.

hey thanks, I definitely need to get that 100cc fuel tank the one I have at the moment is nothing but a problem. Its letting in air all the time, Must be the primer? when I'm running my car i can see air in the pipe and it does less than half a tank and then cuts out [>:] i cannot wait until my hobby shop has some more in this week
