the t-15 is fine for stock and the .18tz is the most i would ever put in it. i think that a big block would make it break alot no matter the parts

A center diff is just like the front and rear diff basically. It keep the power more even front to rear. Most R/C vehicles that have them are buggies and Truggie. This is why you do not see them wheel like other R/C vehicles.

How harmful are nitro exhaust fumes? My main concern are all the kids in the park that gather around my MT2 while I'm getting it started up.

dont worry about it mate. Your in the park, its well ventilated . The fumes are very dangerous (carbon monoxide) is produced when burning nitro fuel. It can kill you instantly if you were in a enclosed room with no ventilation [X(]

ha thanks . No its unable to pull wheelies because of it being 4wd and having alot of traction. The front does sometimes lift up when doing 0-full throttle, but i dont know if that counts as a wheelie . My rascal in the gallery is able to pull wheelies on DEMAND!! [8D]. The pipe ive got on the mt2 at the moment is a tsais nitro devil .
