RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
Mid 60's, my MT2 is a stock T-15 stock diffs but lots of alloy, has gone thru about 1/2 a gallon over the course of 1 1/2 yrs. It sat for 1 yr, I've been running it more in the last month. The point I'm trying to make here is that it's getting faster as she's still not really broken in, now mind you it's stock but it's pretty damn quick, so to go 60mph how would you control something that quick? I Have a pretty big yard and the mt2 covers it pretty quick so just curious on the handling or if you intend to straight line?

RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
yeah we have buggy enduros some are as long as 4 hrs but u r alowed to use 2 different buggys but each has to be on for 2hrs really fun to watch. i cnt race my mt2 over here at all so i just use it for bashing and messing bout with when i go out with my friends.
ORIGINAL: Nitr0-is-Deadly
my mt prolly gets a little less..becuase if i lean it any more it will get a lil too hot for enduro's
an enduro for those who dont know..is a real long race..something like 1hr-1.30hr race non stop...engine never turns off..this is about the only race my mt2 is legal in down here..when ur fuel gets low..u fuel up w/o turning off engine..the only other times i can race is if its ok will ALL the other 2wd st's
any 1 here ever do this? u gotta run rich lol..even at rich settings dont be surprised to hit 240-280
the revo on the other hand can get a real long time on 125cc fuel tank..and 3.3 engine..maybe 16-20 minutes..i will have to time this
ORIGINAL: adz06
took my mt2 out for run up and down road today just racing (winning) cars lol took a we while to get it running the way it usually did caus ehadnt ran it in a while and needed to blow out the after run oil etc but after about 3 mins or dso it was fine and i timed how long 1 tank of oddnells 20% lasted it last 16 mins somthing roughly with gd constant running. and then i spent 2 hrs tidying up my garage and organizeing my tool boxes and equipment, will prob stay organized until tmorrow morning lol.

Hi Guys,
I have just got back from a jumping session in the local woods, and I have snapped my right hand servo saver, is there an alloy replacment for this?
cheers

RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
Sorry Nealmarin but the answer is no and you don't want one thats stronger m8 unless you race and don't care about the expense of a new servo. In which case there are a lot of metal pivots out there that could be adapted to work

take out all the fuel in the tank take out the glow plug. flip the car over and pull the pull sart a few times. if it is flooded you will see it spray out fuel. leave it with glow plug outfor ten minutes and then put the glow plug in and start it up again. works for me

try and grip the fly wheel as hard as you can and turn it by hand or use a flat head screw driver on edge of fly wheel using chassis as the pivot point on the the screw driver, thats what i did with mine

RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
Hello All,
I just ordered the 18SS kit and Spektrum DX3 radio today. This will be my first truck as I have been flying planes for a few years now. I just want something to mess around with here at home. Is there anything special that I need or need to do. Please be easy on me because this is all new to me and I'm sure I will have a lot of questions.
