it isn't igniting at all and the glow plug is glowing []
Are you sure it is getting fuel? Even if the plug is glowing when out of the engine I would try a new one.

46u y dont u reply to any of my questions

I might of over looked some as I get about 20 PM a day and keep up with about 10 different forum sites. Now if you are talking about racing a stock MT I think I covered it in a reply to some one else question where I stated that only 20% of winning races is the truck and the rest is the driver. You will still have to have it set up properly for whatever track you run it on and the most important thing is tires.

I won many races with my MT and was the slowest truck on the track (before putting my TZ in) because of having it set up well for the track and driving conservatively. You ever heard the saying slow is fast.

As far as comparing to other 4-wheel drive stadium trucks being there are only about 5 or 6 others out there are not a lot to compare them to. At one time all you had was the MT and I am glade to see more coming out as now maybe they will start a class in sanction racing for 4 wheel drive stadium trucks.

Hope this helps if not let me know and I will try to help. Sorry if I over looked something.

hi guys i was woundering how good the mt2 stock is for racing and i all ready race off road so i am not a bad driver and what cars would u compare it to

There are not many 4WD 1.10th trucks out there that can be compared to the MT2.

The only ones I can think of are MRC RT-4 GP and Schumacher Menace

The MRC looks a lot like the MT2 but cheaper.

The Schumacher is a 1/10th truck with a 3-speed and a .21 big block

I do not know much about it, as they do not sell them in the States that I know of. I do know it is made by SH and SH makes very good engines as well as engines for many companies including LRP. If you are talking about replace the T 15 just about anything is better then it.

You should never tune an engine to any certain temperature but tune it for performance and as long as the temperatures are between 220 to 280 it is OK. If I made a guess I would be guessing you are running pretty rich and not getting all the performance out of it!
i think i might be running kinda rich as a tank of fuel only last me a good 7 minutes or so
then again that sounds about right for a 75 cc?

hi guys just got back from a days running up bedfordshire. it was good. everything ran smoothly. must of been the fresh countryside air . car started up from 1 pull [X(] i couldn't believe it. didn't manage to get to the skate park. it was busy. so i just ran it around the playing field. my cousin recorded it on his video camera. its his first time filming so its abit sketchy. also his camera is only 5mega pixels so quality might not be all there. i will get my dad to record a video tomorrow. i will upload the video soon just got to wait for him to send it over msn. .

lewis...if your truck is not starting check the glow plug. are you using a roto start?? if so make sure the batteries are charged up as it might not be spinning it over fast enough. make sure ur glow igniter is fully charged to. also it will be hard to start as it is freezing outside. prime the engine sit the glow igniter on the plug for 20 seconds or so then spin it over. should fire up straight away. worked for me when i had the t-15. good luck.

if what ur saying is right then im running way to rich!

although my mt2 is pumping out the smoke at top end and barely spits any fuel out of the exhaust
and its moving pretty damn fast
the tires balloon but not in four feet..thats just crazy

ill play with my setting a lil bit to see how it is

does any 1 have a problem with gripping grass with their mt2???
like i went to the park and theres a huge field!
im going about half throttle and the trucks kinda slipping side to side
then i punch it and the back end fishtails
keep in mind this is the sticky compound dirt bonz!! and they cant grip grass at full throttle!!! all they do is cut the grass(throws all the grass in the air like a mower)

any 1 else have dis problem..i think its a good problem tho a sign of power

No offense but if people want all out fast they need to get a 2 wheel drive brushless stadium truck. On the track with my MT I have out run many a brushless stadium truck when I had the OS 15 CV-RX in it and more then likely the slowest truck on the track. I am much more concerned with handling then all out speed as speed does not win races but the driver and handling does. Yes I am a hard head hard core racer.

No the Hot Bodies truck is not real fast and I have heard good things about it other then the engine is weak. Sounds kind of like the RTR MT 2. Keep in mind HPI and Hot
Bodies are sister companies. Out of the few 4 wheel drive stadium trucks out there the only two I would consider is the HPI MT and the Hot Bodies to date. The only draw back I see on the Hot Bodies is parts support and hop ups. I have heard Kyosho and Thunder Tiger are coming out with 4 wheel drive stadium trucks.

Now if you look 1/10 scale monster trucks are getting to be a big thing and I believe there are more of them out there then 1/10 4 wheel drive stadium trucks.

The thing you are talking about is for mounting a prop (propeller). Years ago many people broke their engine in on a test stand with a prop. Old School. I thought the engine with the black head was a boat engine?
