How strong are the stock a-arms on the .18ss?? DO they break easily? I am thinking of getting aluminum ones because I am about to place an order from towers. (Live in Iceland so sometimes it almost takes a month for my orders to arrive).

i have broken 3 of the arms on my 18ss two rear and one front

I've broken three in the front now; I'd just go ahead and get the front steering knuckles and a-arms in aluminum right away if it were me.

Thanks for that! I only ask because I'm about to order the O.S engine (and lots of other bits to go with the MT2) as I am now VERY BORED with the T-15 engine.

yes. the new tank.. well the exhaust goes to the extra tank in its pressure fitting then its output goes to the current tanks pressure fitting and then the current tank stays how it is with the output to the engine. simple. but reduce the presure line length as much as posible.

yeah i know how to set it up (i guess i worded my question wrong) wat i needed to know is where and how could i mount an extra tank???

thanx

MAN IM STILL RUNNING THE SAME DIFF GEARS WITH THE SAME GREASE THAT CAME IN IT . AND I HAVE A 2 SPEED AND RUNNING THE HD RING AND PIN FROM A RS4 3 AND RUNNING 30 O/O FUEL IN THE .18 CVRX

why do you want to use dual fuel tanks anyway???

i mounted my savage tank on the mt2 when i cracked my old tank u sing some old legos fits perty good i ran it like that for a week

hi all, just been working on a throttle mod for my truck with better, smoother and more accurate throttle control with a better servo-saver and stronger braking power. Sorry about size and quality, had to use my phone as i have no batteries for my camera

i want more run time, i mostly bash my mt2 so i dont think i will care about the extra weight, also with the 18 cv-r in it sucks up gas a lot quicker than the sock 18ss

does the cv-rx suck up more gas than the 18ss? Wierd since it has less Hp and is the same size...How long does the car run with one tank??

it runs about 15-20 min on a single tank.. where did you hear that the 18ss has more power than the 18 cv-r?? i dont think it does the 18 cv-r is way faster, it definently has more torque

The O.s is rated at 1.35 hp while hpi claims the .18ss is 1.5 hp...thus i thought that the O.S. is faster because it utilizes the power better.

factory claims = B.S

hpi says the 18ss puts out 1.5 hp but thats a bunch of bull*****, they just say that to sell more

i feel you, murawskiallen. Once my tz is in im sure i am going to want way more running time. Is there anyway you can modify the original gas tank to overlap on a carbon fiber upper deck, suppose adding another 30-40 cc on it?

yeah i guess you could somehow but you would need it to be completely sealed or there wont be any pressure in you tank to push the fuel into the engine, thats why i want to find a place to mount a second tank cause it would already be sealed off. but since your running the TZ i would focus on keeping my drivetrain together, have you had any problems like that yet or have you not run the TZ yet???

guys what springs shall i get for my mt2 ? i run it on grass and dirt .the ones onit are very sloppy

hey guy check out this pic. People say all the hot models are only at the 1:1 car shows

here is where i am with the dual fuel tanks, i havent gotten a chance to try it out yet but i will soon..the big tank is 100cc and the other one is 75cc so ill be runnin 175cc, which should give me about 35 to 45 minutes of run time...tell me wat you guys think

I would keep an eye out on your temps guys if you plan on running like that motors arent designed for two tanks as long as temps are in the safe zone should be ok ,just watch those temps

if i may suggest i think you would have to run the top bigger tank feeding into stock position then from stock position to the motor,just a suggestion but cool

Hey guys i just took out my baby for a fifth tank break in man that motor rips big time glad i got it now for sure .still havent hit the full throttle postion yet but i need a bigger parking lot to do that in lol its got some real juice running the 15 tooth racing cb 52 spur

yeah thats the way i was going to do it but there were certain complications and i wasnt able to do it, and it doesnt make a difference on the temps by running 2 tanks its the same as running one tank and then filling it back up before it completely runs out..anyways i just got in from running it and it ran pretty well until my rear diff stripped, but that wasnt by fault of the dual tanks, and one of the bad things about the dual tanks is it increased the top weight and i have to put the body posts really high so the body could fit over the tank
