RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
hey g
how are you shutting it off??
i had the same problem if i shut down by plugging the ext.
that got me thinking i`m flooding the engine with fuel.
it was hard to restart. i got into the habit of using the fuel line pinch if i have to shut down before
i run the tank dry.

Love my Spektrum DX3 and do not have to worry about what frequency others are on!!!!!! A fail-safe only works if the signal is lost or the receiver pack is low.

i just read 1..it said interfierence..ill find it and post it..
and guy with tank issues.. does ur tank have a primer? if so use it. and another thing..u can place ur finger over the pipe tip and that will prime the engine and pressure causes fuel to flow :P

Personally, buy the Savage! You can't go wrong! Make sure you get the XSS kit version and you'll get the K4.6 .28...crazy power, wheelies, awesome top speed.....you'll absolutely love it. PLus you get a steel spur and hardened/racing CB + metal diff cases + hardened drive train...

RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
What I am saying is if some one else is on your channel a fail-safe does you no good this is the type of interference I am talking about.
Spurs if you are having troubles with stripping them either your mesh is off big time or your clutch is slipping causing the CB to heat up and melt the spur. I have been running the same spur on my Savage with well over 7 plus gallons with out a problem and it has the same spur as my MT but the Savage is about 6 pounds heaver. The only spur I had problems with is when I fist built the truck and was breaking it in a do to the stock clutch shoes slipping so bad it melted my spur. Put good shoes in have not had problems since.
My 4.6 SS Savage has been a very durable and reliable truck with 7 plus gallons throw it still running great!!!
When you are talking about nitro engines are you talking about engines in general or are you talking about RC truck and car engines, as there is a VERY BIG difference!!!! The biggest TRUE RC truck engine is a .32. The truckzilla 46 is nothing but a redesigned low RPM helicopter engine and a good 28 will out run it top end but it does have loads of torque. If you look you will see that car and truck engines turn about 3 to 4 times the RPM of and air engine.

RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
There are a lot better ways to spend your money and if you go to the HPI monster truck forum you will see most think the say way. I like my Savage and RC vehicles to be as light as possible as weight is HP.

RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
im not sure what tank im running, but i know that the fuel pickup, its on top of the tank(yes its the fuel pick up im sure). Well i found that wether i shut it off or it shuts off by its self, it still wont start without me putting more fuel in it. Yea i do the finger thing for like 5-6 pulls, nothin, im thinkin maybe the pipe isnt producing enough pressure to finish off whats in the tank? Should i try the stock pipe and see what happens? Should i buy a different fuel tank?
O and my tank doesnt have a primer

RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
i checked on tower hobbies and it said that it doesn't use a pressure nipple, the fuel line is suppose to fit into the hole, but my fuel line was too small, so i concocted something, to make it work. It worked out well, cant wait to installl it on my mt2 along with the other parts i got.
