Byron is great fuel! Here is a cut and paste I know I posted at least 100 times on RCU. This backs up what I have experienced. There are other articles that say about the same thing.

Why 8% to 12% Oil

Using high oil content fuels in gas car engines won't provide improved engine life, as some would expect. Through extensive testing we've discovered the point of diminishing return as far as oil content to engine life is actually around 8% for most car engines. In other words any more oil than 8% in the fuel does noting to improve the life of a car engine. In fact the secondary effects of high oil content fuels can actually cause engine damage by encouraging over lean runs. Here's how.

Using high oil content fuel causes a car engine to be unresponsive during acceleration acting as if the engine were running rich. Typically when using high oil content fuel, in order to get crisp acceleration and response, an engine will need to be adjusted overly lean. In addition the high oil content prevents lean bog when an engine is over-leaned thus allowing the engine to run at this lean setting without the customary telltale lean bog warning letting you know the engine is overheating.

In summary, high oil content fuels don't give added protection. The point of diminishing return from a protection standpoint in a gas car application is about 8% oil depending on the oil type and engine. Anymore oil than this doesn't offer added protection and has potential secondary effects that reduce performance and can actually cause you to over lean your engine in an attempt to get crisp throttle response and acceleration.

Happy new year all!!

Anyway, im still looking for a wing mout that fits on a MT2. Wich mount does fit now? (must be on the site of TowerHobbies)

And what clutch do you guys recommend?
The Hotbodies composite one , Golden Horizons aluminium ones, or the HPI recommended tuned clutch?

mark_y

You can find a wing mount and wing designed for the MT 2 through New Era Models.
They also have other nice stuff as well...

I thought that I saw your car on Ebay??? Was I wrong? It had a black body and white wing, OS.18cv-rx and looked more like a buggy/truggy than a stadium truck.

kelloggair

StinkBomb Racing

we have an MT2 with a OS.18CV-R 2 SPEED TRANNY BRING ON THE SAVAGE its a great truck off or on road the 2 speed tranny can be ajusted if you play with it you can make it shift the way you need it when im off road i make it shift a litte later then its ok you also have to make sure that you use the right springs ( READ INSTRUCTIONS) !!!!!!

@Boohoo,

Today:
Bought alu steering knuckels, an Front/ Back C-hubs. From a brand named RC-edit.

RC-edit is a brand of hpi, like HotBodies. I am very pleased of the quality of the alu parts. Made of 7075 CNC alu, with a gun metal anodize, looks cool too.

The parts

And, i have bought Ofna #5000 and #1000 silicone oil. I putted that in my diffs (5000 in front, 2000 in back), and it doesnt leak what people said. I hope that this will have positive influence on the track.

Now the only things on my wishlist for my MT2 are: Carbon upperdeck, Humppack, HPI alu front/back shocks

calvino

is the MT2 G3.-0 good, diff wise... i like the fact that it is RTR.... so, is it good or not??? , I also know the SS is the better option (for racers i guess), for the more bashie type, is it a good opion (rtr)???

bud09

i think so. i hav the g3 and it has power. i jus wish it had adjustable turnbuckles so i dont hav to worry about damagin them takin them off to readjust it.

J.D.T

that edit stuff looks nice, what did you have to pay, all I see it available soon??

evil-dead-666

This may be a stupid question, however one I will ask none the less. I have a MT 2 and I would like to put a three speed transmission and reverse module in it, that said I need some assistance in this endeavor. I would greatly appreciate any assistance.
Thank You in advance.

kybert

Its avaliable now, do a search at your hobby shop website and you'll see it, i also bought those 3 parts.

liu

I payed @ my local hobby shop 25 euro each so 75 all together. 75 euro is like aboutn 100 dollars, quite expensive but nice stuff.
