The HPI are MUCH better as you do not have a setscrew but a sleeve that goes over it to hold the pin in. On the MIP I had I even did like HIP said and ground a flat spot on the pin for the set screw to seat and then the pins would break! I have never had a problem with the HPI MT2 CVD’s

Did you all ready have a radio or not? I sure can think of a lot of better radios.

I don't have a radio... well.. i had a old magnum sport... but something is messed up with it... the MX-A fit my price range, and I didn't want a blazer sport... I made that mistake with my brother... we hated it... but I only had like $65-$70 to spend on a radio... plus... on airtronics' website, it's still says its $118

what's so bad about the mx-a? just wondering... I used have an old JR computer radio... the predocessor to the synthisized that comes with the LST and LST2... but I sold it with my Ofna buggy....i miss that buggy.... sry anyway...

but at least I decided to go with the .18 cv-rx right? it was either that or another T-15... and i said no...the total was like $191.04 or something... but I only $200 to spend...and i needed the collet, coupler, and screws... if I had another $50-$75 or so I would have upgraded to another radio, gotten a cvec pipe, and gotten a new rx pack and failsafe (mine are a little old...)

Just wondered if you where using it as an up grade or just need a radio. I under stand your budget but if you ever go to 2.4GHz you will never look back.

I found the pictures of the MT2 with a big block I had. I know remember how they moved the brake disk to the front, it had a carbon fiber radio tray that was grinded down to fit the disk.

This poor truck died when I hit a slightly raised sewer cap hidden in the grass at full speed. I lost the carbon fiber radio tray front gear housing chassis and more. It was a very nice truck now that I think back. It had many great modifications including the Big Block conversion and I bought it for $180 off Ebay as an RTR with all these mods. This was a score and I still have all the modifications it came with installed on my current trucks. As you can tell from the pictures I hit the sewer cap perfectly at the edge of the chassis some how. It was going full speed and came to a sudden stop, I didn't expect it and my eyes kept going as if to follow the truck still moving. What a sad day that was, I am getting sad all over again looking at the pictures. But on a good note the RB Concepts .21 engine lives on in my Kyosho Inferno 7.5 Kanai III buggy and it makes the buggy rip.

The first picture is a picture of the truck the day I got it (before the accident), you can see the radio tray was modified to fit the disk brake in the front.

"MAN THIS THREAD MOVES FAST a page and a half since my last post at 6pm earlier tonight"[sm=spinnyeyes.gif]

yup...just needed a radio... and figured that it wouldn't hurt to spend the extra $20 or whatever it was to upgrade to a computer radio (one that is low cost and will work for the time being) then cheap out and buy a hpi replacement radio or blazer sport or agressor(sp?)... don't get me wrong, the agressor is a good radio, I had one, but i've been needing/wanting a new computer radio for a while...

what are you running? what'd it cost? i was looking at the m8 and the m11... but they are about $400 out of my price range right now, lol...

ouch... that sux... that would be a sad day indeed....well... at least you got parts and it looks like a decent pair of shocks or two pairs out of it... what all does the big block kit include?

quick question for anyone and everyone... with the cv-rx .18... what else am I going to have to beef up? and what gas are you guys all running with these engines? jw....

HAHAHAHA nice pics reminbes me of my TACO BELL RC10GT i hit someting REALLY FAST and it just ended up looking like a TACO LOL


WELL my project JATO KILLER is really off the ground friday i get all the parts i need to convert the RS4 3 i have into a MT2 type car............ i have everything i need already minus......the shocks that will be here wensday of friday (they are JATO shocks) and the diff cups and the OTHER A-ARMS (the left set) will be here friday but some time during next week ill post pics of the project im also putting better servos in (becuase of the speeds im planning to run at i already have them i just have to install them) after that all ill need is some TIRES (most problably FOAM ones) and a engine and pipe!!!! and after that......................THEM JATOS CAN TRY TO CATCH ME LOLOLOLOLOL i even saw a wheely bar on NEW ERA.COM that looks AWSOME ima get that also....... ill report more as more and more parts get here!!!!!!

here is some shots of my RC10GT after the crash!!!!

I am running the DX3 Spektrum. I am spoiled and never can go back to 25 or 75MHz.

lol....

wow... that mt-2 is looks sad... but that rc10gt is just hilarious! it sux... but I mean... what did you hit to get ur chassis to bend 90+ degrees? my buddy had his and he tried to take it under a curb and took of the body, shock towers, part of his cooling head, and bent his frame up pretty good from the force... but at least his was stock and a P.O.S... it was on its last limbs anyway.. i wish i still had those pics....

i hit the back tire of a parked car LOL i had set the fail safe in reverse it whent out of range.............and well u guess the rest.....LOL this is the RC10GT i out ran a stock 3.3 jato with.......pretty impressive huh???

yea lol impressive... and its pretty impressive what you did to it, lol.... are you going to rebuild it?

yea this was about 5 or 6 weeks ago the next week i was running it again it was less than 50 bucks in parts the most expensive thing was the chassis and it was 30 bucks!!!! last time i ran it was 2 weeks ago that was when i DESTOYED the tranny...... i over tighten the spur gear...................MAH BAD LOLOLOLOL

is this any good? and will it work on my mt2 rtr

what are you trying to use it for?

for my throttle linkage on my servo its a HPI Slide Carb, Ive got a rotary carb linkage at the moment but the response on them linkages isn't to good

Ok another question for people running the single speed tranny in the MT. I'm thinking about getting the MT2 slipper setup for my MT1 and running that. What gearing are you guys using? I'm going to be getting a set of non-pull start motor mounts and was looking at what kind of spur and cb I want to get. Something with more top end that stock for sure but nothing to crazy.

I also think the MT2 shocks will fit the MT1 as long as you use the furthest mounting locations. Anyone know this?

Hmmmm I am currently using this slide carb setup on my car.

Other people have been using an ofna slide carb servo setup. I'm not sure what it is. It was posted in the last few pages of this thread.

Here is the Ofna one. Joebaby uses this I believe.

On my MT 1 ¾ with the .18 TZ I am running 16CB and 49 spur. I am probably going up on the gearing as at idle and I give it full throttle my tires instantly balloon. All so I am hoping it will help cut down on stripping the wheel hex. One of the good things about running the MT2 slipper set up is it uses Savage spur gears and you have a much better selection. All so I recommend going to the Savage Race CB.

wouldn't happen to have the part numbers for that cb would ya?

I'm looking to get the mt2 slipper set, some gearing options, the non pull start motor mounts and run my lightweight non pull start flywheel. here are the parts I have so far.

This clutch bell?

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXKAZ0&P=7

this spur?

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXMCZ8&P=ML

how good are the stock mt2 shocks? and how good are the super mt2 shocks? (the aluminum adjustables)

forgot the flywheel I'll be using.

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXM760&P=7

thanks 46u, no wonder i couldnt find them anywhere

That is the flywheel I use on both my MT1 & MT2 I like it so far. It will let the engine respond better creating better bottom end.
