Not that impressive really, it would of been far nicer for them to basically redesign it, as they did with Rush > Firestorm

RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
hi...i just installed a O.S. 15CVR engine in my MT2....it's a bump start, but unfortunately, the stock engine mount is a bit high, so my bump start have difficulty reaching the flywheel. Anyone knows which engine mount is required, it should be lower than the stock engine mount, so my starter can reach the flywheel easily.
Appreciate if you can provide the link as well......
THANXX!!

Aluminum pipe. s-compound tires, steel diff gears, new wheels, new air filter, new body, and the chassis is now gray instead of purple.

Oh, and if anyone is interested in buying an MT2 with a fail safe, alu front arms, alu steering knuckes, tons of extra parts, but missing spiders in the front diff (I have all the parts, but the spiders are dead, I'm running it RWD fine as it is now) with only a quart through it let me know...

RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
thats wat the 18ss has, the hardened steel gears, i just checked the hpi website
ORIGINAL: BlackMK4
I am assuming that these are steel spider gears, so all of your diff gears are hardened steel instead of just ring and pinion.
