no the body was on the whole time

Where are you guys getting your carbon fiber upper plates?

dang, all that wet mud getting on your engine is going to disfugure the sleeve and piston and will eventually ruin your engine

you can probably get your lhs to order one for you

Is it for the MT or the MT2, my LHS stated that they (HPI) didn't make carbon parts for the MT2 anymore except shock towers.

hey guys
speaking of air leaks.
this weekend i ran my mt 2 for the first time in like a month.
its been to cold to run.
anyway. i saw my primerless tank leaking from the o ring cap. the o ring broke off.
i tried to get a new o ring from my LHS and he doesn`t stock them. there is no hpi part number for them.
only a new tank. i used a black o ring i had at home but it doesn`t seal that good.
does tower sell just those o rings??? i don`t want to replace the whole tank just for an o ring.

Mt2nitronut i got the other ramp done and it kicks we have to meet up this weekend and jump some stuff maybe a house of some kind

lol! sounds fun

Dear All,

many thanks for your replys I have now got my car started and I have a had a wicked day in the woods today with some super high jumps.
One problem at some point today I noticed a slight reduction in power to the rear wheel this became more pronounced throughout the day so I strupped the rear diff tonight to find the metal gears had been torn appart, I will try and get hold of replacemtns tommorow but what would be the cause of this and how to prevent it happening again?

Straight after the engine stalls check the fuel line, see if you can spot small air bubbles in the fuel line, if there is that means it is the primer on your tank leaking. Allow air in to the fuel line will cause the engine to lean out which, in theory will cause it to over-heat and stall. I would not dismantle the engine unless you are 100% sure you know what your doing. I would start with the basics first like fitting a primerless 100cc tank first, this could sort your problems out. If this fails then i would seal the engine head gasket with gasket sealent. If your looking to upgrade parts on your car firstly i would suggest you get a FAILSAFE i would also get the gpm/edit steering knuckles as the plastic ones are very weak and cause you to loose screws. Another good investment would be a fuel filter & a high performance air filter.

EDIT:- Also check your MANIFOLD screws, The smallest ammount of play can cause problems.

Cheers DJ........will take your advise mate. Am sure it'll be sorted soon

lol yeah no problem you know my truck flies now all i got to do is work on the landing lol give me a holla

hello all, no one has ever answered any of my threads yet but PLEASE can someone. My clutchbell is now in two pieces, i noticed a sudden los in power and a few sparks. I just thought it was the slipper or something but no like i said the clutch bell is in two the gear piece has come away. Ordered a new one off ebay but has any one else ever had this problem.



ash it an it breaks!!!

everybody that runs the stock cb has this happen to them evetually, the solution is get a hardened ventilated cb, i hope you didnt just order the same stock cb or your just going to have the same problem again

you can send the stock c.b to hpi, they put it down as a manufacture fault and send you a new one. I agree with murawskiallen, get a HD Vented race clutch bell

Cheers lads, i have bought a hardended steel vented one off ebay. I'll not bother sending the old one back to HPI they'll just send the same stock part like they did on the diffs when they went!



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Nottingham bashing till it breaks

dam i shoulda sent it o well. same thing happened to me and i was a little short on money so i just bought the stock one

oh you have to buy new bearings for it to work on the rtr, but the ss kit already comes with the rite bearings

Hey nirtonut look what happen to my truck in the back after i made the second ramp and tested it

wut happened to it??

i Took the ramp i made really fast and landed on the rear from about 7-8 ft

This doesn't help most of the newbies on here.......yeah, tell them what they need.....but also tell them where to get it....

well i didnt say where to get it cause its not a hard to find part and you can get it just about anywhere, lhs, online stores, i personally buy pretty much all of my parts off ebay stores
