I havent had any problems with them but they come with what seems to be really light oil in them. I changed to 70 wt in the front and its way better.

I notice too that they are abit on the soft side. I have some #60 shock oil in the garage that I think I'll put in them and see how it works. they are very smooth and I really like the adjustability. I haven't had a chance to test them out yet since I'm still waiting for the slipperclutch set to get here. It should be here tommarow hopefully. did hpi make an aluminum shock set for the mt2? I didn't see it or else I problably would have gotten it instead of these but I like them anyway.

i dont really like the tires thats on it im looking for something different. the tires are the trac-ta-gator ones. At the widest point on the body its 6.5" where the muffler sits but width of the truck is only 6 1/4"
let me know how that body fits the mt2 since im looking to get the same one or even the dodge truck one.

Thanks man. It seems to sit on there alright the reason I asked is because I didnt have an mt2 body so when I put this one on it just seemed a little bit big but its all good. Its about 6 1/4 inches wide. The only thing that I dont like is that it doesnt seem to sit as low as I think it should. How much room do you have between the engine and body on yours?

eminent that came out great. Did you use an airbrush or a rattle can?
As for the dodge body, look at page 682 for post Post #: 17040 and you'll see my ford body that I just did, its the same size as the dodge body.

eminentguitar, nice looking body! I love th paint job.
I jut got my MT2 converted from the stock non slipper spur gear to a slipper. I guess that mine must have been the original MT and not an MT2 I got it used and couldn't tell the difference from the pics. its better than an MT2 now though!! and its running great!!

I got the 2 speed installed the other day but I think the gearing is too high. I need to get a 45T spur gear. Id like a 48T too but I dont think they make it.
