lol i feel your pain.. well atleast you got to run your cars i didnt even get to start mine up forclose to 2 months[:@][:@]

I guess it depends on whom you ask. I would not buy it. It looks like it is cheaply made and all plastic as well as I do all I can to stay away from Integy. I am one of those that rather wait a while save the money and get better stuff. I am sure it will work just wondering how it will hold up. I all so do not like starter boxes with 2 small motors I like one high torque 12volt motor that is like a start motor on a motorcycle. With 12 volts there is all ways a well-charged battery around. Just my two cents.

I have not run any of my nitro vehicles in about 3 weeks I have run one of my electric several times. I just hate bashing so boring. Just got my MT back together but does not look like I will get a chance to run it any time soon as it is suppose to rain starting tomorrow for 4 or 5 days. Have only run my buggy once in 3 months my Savage twice and my MT twice. When the track was open I ran every week just about. I am going to start working on my 1 to 1 car so I can get to more tracks.

that integy one uses one 750 motor, but i agree with the fact that i shouldnt get it because it is plastic.

is this a good one - http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHUC9&P=0

I have both a 12 volt battery and 2 stick packs at home, i just thought the packs would be better to use because together they put out more than 12 volts

46u
I have a collection of engines laying around. I think I got this .15cv-r from tower a few years ago,but
never used it until now. I race at the hobbytown track in Columbus and the Onion Patch in AL. mainly,
but I raced with Score in Savannah and the Sugar Bowl. This year I'll try Rod Slingers and Loganville.
I raced with alot of guys from Macon a few years ago I heard Macon had a nice track once?

I had the OS 15 CV-RX in my MT up until a couple of months ago for about 4 years. I really thing it is not quite enough power and the torque is not real good either for a 4- wheel drive truck. Big difference between the friction of the drive train on a 2-wheel drive and a 4-wheel drive. Now a .15 in my 2-wheel drive truck seems fine. I would recommend if your track would let you to run an OS 18 CV-R. I do not race my MT much any more and now have an OS 18 TZ in it and it is way too much for the track or even bashing. When I do run it on the track I have to dial down the throttle on my radio or all it does is spin out or land on the lid. Now I will say I have won quite a few races with it when it had the OS 15 CV-RX in it.

Hope to see you something at one of the tracks. I have to work on my 1 to 1 car so I can start going around the Southeast racing. Who do you race with from Macon? Need to get up with them! Many be I can catch a ride and more the happy to help pay for gas or what ever untill I get my car in better shape.

Yes I like that starter box much better. Wonder what size motor mine has as I know it is bigger then a 750 but mine is a 1/8 scale box and I use it to start big blocks in my Hyper 8. Here is a picture.

Jut did some checking and a 750 is less the 1/2 the size of the one in mine but like I said I use mine for big blocks.

ok thanks for the tip. i might email them or visit their forum and ask "would i be allowed to turn up on practice day to run my hpi mt2" i would be chuffed if they let me. if they did and i enjoyed it i might go into racing and go to events. but i need a buggy.

ur track looks deadly my local track is nt i just decided to go check it out on one of there fun days brought the mt2 along u need to build it every 3rd sunday from april to september and only has to we tiny wooden jumps but it does change every week and is never set up the same way. here are some pics below the did not race 1/10 scale cars so i had to race in the truggys catergrie but i have bought a buggy to get into racing. but its bout 40 mins away from were i live

here is one of the 12 tracks around here

both them tracks look sweet. i like them big table tops. 46u my track does open practice days. it costs £5.00 i think i might turn up to one with my mt2. they also do timed

This might be a silly question, but I'm sure I've heard people talking about it - Is there a way to adjust the mesh between the spur gear and the clutch bell teeth? I've heard something like there should be enough of a gap between the teeth to allow a piece of folded paper to slip through?

if you have the stock t-15 you do not need to worry about gear mesh as the engine has engine mounts built on and it just bolts straight on to the chassis. if you have a engine which takes separate engine mounts eg. lrp z18s pro then you will need to mesh the gears correctly otherwise you will strip your spur gear. there are two ways to mesh a gear and both work great. the way i do it is by getting a plastic baggie (like the ones you get from hpi spare parts). fold it over once and place it between the clutch bell and spur gear. apply a fair amount of pressure on the clutch bell and make sure the clutch bell is parallel to the spur gear and tighten up your engine mount screws. then roll your car foward to remove the plastic & see if it is meshed good. you will also be able to feel if it is a good mesh. it shouldnt be to tight, it should just roll along smoothly when pushed. 46u and others use paper and it works the same. i have used paper but it some times splits/tears. maybe its me and im using cheap paper.

Need some help. I am ready to get my O.S. .18 CV-R for my MT2. Is the rotary or slide carb best? What is the big difference? I now have the 18SS on the truck. Thx guys

there is no big difference in performance. The carburetor can either be sliding or rotary. On a rotary carburetor, the slide is opened as the arm is turned by the servo. On a slide carburetor the slide is opened by sliding the arm out by the servo. go with the rotary carb. then that way you do not have to change your servo horn setup saving you 5mins

some pics of my track


www.csrcraceclub.com and my hobby store sponsors this track

one sec...let me go get my magnifying glass. lol. you got any larger pictures? looks good from what i can see

djheptic how far u live from essex ? ther a massive offroad track ther and they race 4wd stadium trucks i took mine ther yesterday and it was well fun i went through a gallon of fuel and on my last tank i bent the 2 rear shocks doin a tabletop jump a big one and over shot it
.you should really go ther if u have the chance its worth going and its only 5 quid bashing / 15 quid racing but bring lots of xtals lol

Tower hobbies seems to only sell starter boxes that have around 750 single motor or dual 550. There might be 1 or 2 exceptions. However, i only need this starter box for the new car im going to add to my garage this summer (1/10 Team magic g4s on road w/ .12 engine), so 750 seems like a good size motor, but please correct me if i am wrong, i have never had a starter box. I also hope it will work with my mt2 as well because then i will only need to carry 1 starter.

is this the starter u have with some sticker on it http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCUC2&P=0

will it affect the engine, if i have too powerful of a starter box

if you give me the address/website i will check it out. i will most likely go. we could meet up there.

i have no idea how they ended up so small..i put them in image but idk what happened?

maybe they were to big to upload so it automatically shrunk them. [&:]? doesnt matter i can still see the track (sort of). looks good from what i can see

k lets try this..

hmm i cant do it!!!!

hey guys
just an FYI
i melted the center hole of my spur gear #76939 last sunday on my 18ss.
i think i had the slipper nut set to loose. anyway. melted the
center of the spur pretty good and burnt out the pad. it did last over 2 gallons.
so just a heads up. check that nut. i never checked it since building the kit.
