What happened with the Diff Case??? Did you get everything together or is there a problem with the case preventing you from puting your rear together???

I run these on my MT2 with the graphite shock towers - work great. I love the range of adjustment on them..

They don't appear to have a diff-case/bulkhead on the page, but you could enquire to see if they might produce it...

Yes their stuff is billet and well made but do not make much for the MT. I just looked and could not find any differential cases.
Thanks

RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
can some one please help me, my mt2 isnt starting. I took the glow plug out(not sure if its good or not cant tell, idk how) checked the fuel lines,glow starter,etc idk what it is. So i took the whole engine off washed it lightly with soap and water and checked it over. The only thing thats weird is that b4 i took the engine off and stuff, when i pulled the pull start halfway through the cycle i could hear like this slight -tttiisstt- sound amost like an air leak. Any help is greatly apprecieated
also my pull start is starting to slip(ie doesnt turn the engine over every time) how can i check to see if its still ok, or check if its bad?
ps the engine i have is an omega xt .12 se

You'll also just need to download the 18SS manual from HPI, its got instructions on how to install the parts into the diff case.

I do not think it comes with the pinion shims and the only way I know to get them is with the spider gear cup set. I use Harley wheel bearing grease.

Sorry...I meant to say it only comes with the larger shims for the casing itself. No pinion shims...I never actually had to shim the pinion on mine anyway...only the casing...

This is a better picture for the final gear set. It comes with the big shims but not the pinion shims.

i think that is just silly. you pay good money for the set...and they dont include what you need. what has the world come to now a days []. so you are saying i will need to buy the spider gear set / Bevel gear set and the toothing is 13T & 10T right? and these include the shims i will need?. i only need 2-3 shims on the pinion.
just looked on the site and they are only £5.00 so its not that bad

RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
yeah had that problem not long ago. the cap head screws wear the threads down and make the hole alot bigger so the turn buckle comes off. thats why i am going to upgrade to the alu ones.

RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
im very puzzled. my gears are meshed properly but i have a tight spot on my spur-gear [&:]. its been there for a while now but i thought i would just see if any of you might know what it could be. as i said its been there for a while so its nothing to worry about, if it wanted to strip it would have stripped by now. knock on wood lol. any ideas? thanks

Being I cannot see or know what all is wrong with yours hard for me to say what you need. Is it all bad or what? The final geas come as a set. Ring and Pinion
