The HPI Race CB does not take needle bearings.
All so what are you going to do about your differential? Will not take long to tear up the stock pot metal RTR gear with the LRP. Don’t you all ready have one eat up or was that some one else?

About the only thing you will need besides the engine is an engine mount. Other then that it is pretty much a drop in process.
This is what I run and like best as far as engine mounts

These are cheaper but not real big on them.

Since you have the RTR you should think about up dating your differentials.

RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
No if you are running the Race CB like on the Savage you need ball bearings 2 of them 5x15x4mm. This is one of the many reasons to go to the Race CB it get away from the poor RTR needle bearing! Boy I wish I could remember what it was like to be 16! Happy late birthday.

RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
You would have to get the correct starter plate, as I do not believe the one on the T 15 would fit. Never owned a Roto starter, as I do not have a problem with pull starters. Even my Savage is pull starter. I do have a bump box for my buggy.

Heavy duty final gears or just wait till they mess up which will not take long with the OS engine unless you drive real conservative. The RTR are weak pot metal.
