46 u thanks for the suggestion, i think the head bolts were loose. runs great now. you should open a shop and make some money off all the help you give..lol..

46u do you know anything about the lrp.28 motor??

I have been making my living for over 30 years working on motorcycles and doing machine work and enjoy this hobby, I glade to help. I just got done Friday showing a guy how to sealing an engine told him that one was free and the next one was on him. I am sure he will not have any problem with the next one doing it him self.

LRP .28 is a very good engine like all engines made by SH. Now on the spec 3 if you notice most are out of stock and have been for a while I have heard a roomer there was a problem with them but do not know this for fact. Then XTM 457 is the same thing as the LRP 28 spec 2. SH makes engines for quite a few different companies and for the most part are very good engines. I now a few years back SH had some problems but think most where fixed. Still wish I could fine out more about the spec 3 if there have been any problems with it.

i just wanted to share a couple of pics of the track me and my buddy are making. we havent gotten any pics of my mt2 yet but soon we will







it looks alot better now, there are kind of old pics

dang that looks fun

Very nice and I am envious! I wish I had room to build a track. Our local track just closed and now I am going to have to drive 60 miles to race. There is talk about another one opening near by and I sure hope so as I am going through withdraws!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats exactly it... yup... I like it... but I want to add a prefilter too...but i think that it would do just fine like that.... don't you think?

as for the suspension... I have a bunch of shock springs lying around, none are really stiff, but to add the second, either get another top holder and put it between the two springs... that would work... my shocks kinda seem to sag a little...

what shock oil would you reccomend? I have 20 and 40wt oils... lmk, cuz I want to get the suspension done today...

btw... for the linkage, I just used a really thick paper clip and it works great, you just straighten it out, and bent it where needed... it works great if you don't have a good linkage or as a quick or temporary fix...

yea my closest track is pegasus hobbies and it's a REALLY small track... I want a HUGE one... but there isn't any around me... :-(

DANG VERY NICE! I am talking to a guy that owns the local hobby shop. He is trying to put together a proposal for the city to build a race track then the racers entry money goes to the city to pay off what they front. I REALLY hope it works out. It won't start until the spring time but I'm in. Hopefully something works out.

nice track. ok i need help...[link]http://www.jespares.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=404[/link] what engine is best for the mt2? what clutch bell, shoes, and flywheel will i need thanks. just post links of what i will need from that site (need to get an idea) thanks

and no my rear end of my truck aint jacked right up it sit level all the way across,but my shocks are a little bigger then normal but still the same length as stock shocks for rear,i put normal shocks on and still does the same

Engine: O.S .18 CV-r, CV-rx, $110 on tower hobbies...my reccomendation
Cluch stuff: HPI racing clutch or teflon shoes, and a racing clutchbell (vented and lighter)
Flywheel: either the lightweight one, or the stock one works for me...

just my $0.02

ok so i could put the c.b which is on my t-15 on to a o.s 18? im going to get a lightweight flywheel, how will i know what one to get lol (soz its my first engine upgrade)

Shock oil 35 front and 30 rear is what I am running.

can you post pics? do you use any of these to shim the drive shafts?

If the shocks are longer when ever the truck jumps or gets light it will allow the A arms to go lower and that is when I am guessing the drive shafts pop out. Do they do it with the stock shocks? I am guessing they do not.

thats what i said earlier that i put the stock shocks back on and it still does the same thing ,i noticed that the cup looks as if it open,spread apart slightly could that be the cause

it should, I'm using my stock 13T on mine...you will need to upgrade and get different engine mounts, and beef up ur drives (metal final gears, and so on)

the lightweight flywheel varies....

Clutch shoes

if you are going pullstart, get the 40mm, nonpullstart 32mm

i'd also reccomend
the vented clutchbell

Excuse me I am sorry with all the people I try to help I sometimes get confused so sometimes you have to refresh my memory. Do you have dog bones or CVD or what? What did you change or when did the problem start or this a problem you always had?

do u think the mt2 has the potental to beat a savage in a race??

depends....

stock savage vs mt2 w/ tz and and all, then yea...

stock vs stock, doubt it

stock vs mt2 w/ .18 cv-r maybe? idk

mod vs mod, prob not....

i hav to get engine mounts for my mt2 so would it matter if i get a 14t clutch bell. which one would u get and whats the difference ( in performance )

Going with more teeth on the CB or less on the spur gears it up more top end and less low end. What engine are you putting it on? One tooth should not hurt anything.

i am goin to put on the OS .18 CV-RX

Will the MT out run the Savage needless to say there are many variables in this question! On a track, both stock and or what. I do believe my Savage on a track would give most MT a run for there money and it has a stock engine but is by no means stock. Now if both the MT and Savage where stock the MT would kill it on the track as a stock Savage has so much ground clearance giving it a lot of roll. Just all depends but I would think both set up to the max for racing on an off road track it would be a good race. The biggest thing is the ability of the driver.
