RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread

Is there an option to buy the O.S .18 CV-RX Pullstart Engine as either a slide carb or a rotary carb?
Obviously the T-15 is a rotary carb, but if I were to buy a slide-carb engine how do you go about setting that up so that the servo, and the servo arm will work with it?

I got a question for anyone that has installed an O.S TZ-TX in their mt2. On the crank shaft (part that is out for the flywheel + clutch) there is a drive hub that is on with a propeller nut. I was wondering it i have to take the hub out to install the flywheel. Would it do any damage to the crankshaft bearing? Im guessing not becuase the 18ss engine i have now does not have it installed..BUT i can never be too sure and dont wanna take a risk on the new engine.
I just removed it, not sure what will happen to crank bearing but I couldnt mount the clutch and flywheel with it.

i think all of the OS .18 size engines have big block sized carb inlets so they all use big block air filters
ORIGINAL: stadium truck freak

thats what i got pull start and slide cab and slide carbs run alot better over all.here are some pix of how i did mine and the peace i used for the servo came with my mt2i hope this helps

Obviously the T-15 is a rotary carb, but if I were to buy a slide-carb engine how do you go about setting that up so that the servo, and the servo arm will work with it?

i hope this helps I wonder if you guys can help me.
There's two O.S .18 CV-RX engines listed on the following webpage. One says "short" in brackets, so I'm assuming the other one is a standard shaft? (Both part numbers are different). But when I click on the preview image on each engine, they both appear to have a short shaft, or is this just the same image used twice as a visual kind of reference?
