guys is it worth the money and upgrading the mt2 to full alloy

yea its worth it to get all alloy. u can get all alloy parts free. this is what u gotta do. start jerkin off and put ur mt2 right infront of ur little pecker before u cum then cum all over every part u want stronger on ur mt2 and let it dry. then u have strong as alloy parts if not stronger

my eb4 is mostly alloy but i dont bash it i race it as for the mt2 i bash it and want to start racing it it is worth upgrading it to alloy?or is it cheaper to keep it plastic ?

Personally i would not go over 15T with a 47T spur gear, Just my opinion

no, what do you need all that heavy alloy for, are you trying to make a crash test car to run straight into walls?? lol....especially if you want to start racing your mt2 you should put as little alloy on it as possible

i agree, its a waste of money to!. The only alloy you need are for c hubs & turnbuckles and maybe shock towers.

why would you need allow shock towers?? iv never herd of or seen any body break a shock tower

why would you need allow shock towers?? iv never herd of or seen any body break a shock tower, and the shock towers are i think the biggest plastic part on the truck and would add alot of weight if used alloy towers

You can not fit a 17t cb with a 52t spur using the stock slots in the chassis. The mesh will be to tight. I'm running a 16t cb and 52 spur with the .18 OS CV-R. It has a bit to much top end for racing but is fun for bashing. If I were to regear I would run a 15t cb and 52 spur.

i know, i run a 13t cb and a 52t spur with the .18 OS CV-R and that didnt even fit, i had to break out my power dremel to make the slots longer and i havent had any problems with the mesh so far.. you should try the 13t cb 52t spur set up it has loads of torque, i love it, i got my friend to help me and he clocked it at 29mph in an estimated 2 seconds, and then he asked me if he could have a try at driving it and i was like maybe its time for you to go home, lol

hey anybody that waterproofs their electronics with balloons DO NOT use balloons on your servos, i used balloons on my servos, reciever, batter holder, and even my failsafe.. i just took the balloons off my servos cause i was trying to figure out a problem i was having with my electronics, and inside the balloon it was all wet and i think that was the problem, the batter holder, the reciever, and anything inside the tray was not wet inside because the tray is inclosed..good thing i have spare servos

The problem with balloons, or any latex really, is that is sweats with condensation. If you were to wrap up the electronics during the summer months they wouldn'd become wet as there's no cold air.

yeah you have a good point there! I was ok, maybe luck was on my side yesterday

so how good are graphite shock towers for bashing not that thers anything wrong with the stock plastic ones. i just like the fact that they have diff shock positions. whats this for [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0095p?FVPROFIL=++&FVSEARCH=72215&FVPROFIL=++]diff gear spring[/link]

if you install them in one diff they will more evenly distribute the power to both wheels instead of just one wheel spinning by itself, they are mainly for racin not for bashing cause they help your car pull out of corners better without having to slow down alot or oversteering

The mesh fitting is one thing im stuck on..I havnt started my os tz yet but i have the 18t clutch bell with stock spur gear. Should i be ok??

Hey guys, I've been reading a lot of this thread and it seems like it's the most popular one here. Anyway, I was planning on getting an MT2 18SS for racing at my local track. Would this be a good choice for a racer? I know 46u races his mt2, and I wanted to know if I could race it in the 1/10 stadium truck class. Also, what would be a good radio for the truck? I was looking at the spektrum DX2, but I was considering any good synthesized FM radio because I'm tired of my crappy AM radio in my Nitro Sport. Thanks in advance guys!!

Hey guys, just added 3 new pictures of my Mt2 and the new tires, i have some aluminum turnbuckles and some other neato parts coming in the mail pretty soon, i'll give you guys an update. I will also get my truck muddy once my new clutch bell comes in. and i will post some pictures.

well if you are running a 52t spur then no that will not work, you will have to file down the engine mount slots so you can move the engine over more to make it fit

looking good torgs are they much bigger tyres than the mt2 stock ones

yeah just be carful with that extra clearance as it will cause your truck to flip over alot easier

hey torgs thosetires look good but i think they are a little to big and heard that they were made for mostly rock climbing and stadium truck freak.... the only aluminum parts that you will need are c hubs and knuckles. metals bend instead of breaking and just transfer the breakage to the next weakest point. even if you were to crash it i bet you would break more stuff with aluminum then plastic. plus they are way heavier than plastic...



o and so fari hate this winter. they say its gonna snow anout 6 inches.. not that its bad but y does it have to snow when my fricken car breaks down[:'(][:'(]

Hey guys here is my mt2 18ss that I'm working on. Still have a bit to go since my lhs is really lazy during winter I have to order all the parts from either the US or mainland Europe.

very nice mt2 fr0sty. Love the shocks and the pipe!

thanks im waiting for a few parts atm. They are: Purple fuel line, purple alu spring perch, integy air filter, and front woven graphite shock tower. Then I will finally be able to take it for a spin, but I think its still too cold here anyway so...:S
