Im out in Suffolk.
Any 1/10th body will fit. You just might have to trim it a little bit.
xxs what kind of problem are you having?

RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
When i set it up like its suppost to be and turn the TX off it goes to full break like it should but 2 sec later the RX turns off and it goes to nutral. Is there anyway around the spectrum failsafe?

Yes. Take out the ofna failsafe. Rebind the receiver with the trigger in the neutral position, so that when you turn the radio off nothing happens. The reconnect the ofna failsafe and set the failsafe on that.

There new batterys, and i looked up the proper way to install the failsafe. It works, but right after the reciver shuts off and it goes back into nutrual.

Do any of you guys have the hpi purple glow plug igniter with the volt meter? I bough one and the volt meter doesnt work. Does anyone have a problem with the radio tray filling up with dirt?
Keith what did you do to mount the spectrum switch in your mt2? Mine is to small for the mt2

Im going to say a hot plug usually the smaller engines use hotter plugs and the bugger they get the cooler the plug. Any brand of hot plug will work good for you man just make sure its not a turbo plug and take yours with you when you go to buy it sometimes but not all the time some plugs might be to long so try to get one that is the same longth as yours.

ANOTHER HOME-MADE SCRATCH BUILD.
I want to build a 1/10 CORR Pro-Lite / Pro-2 truck to go with my 1/5 Pro-4. I have a rear axle already. Want to use a modified MT2 front set up. I was looking at New Era's front a-arms and was wondering if they are pretty strong or if there is something stronger? I'll be running my HPI .25 and I love the look of the stock tires. Also will show the Slash body or the New Era Slash.
So I need Heavy Duty arms......

RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
the new era arms are alright man but you have to remember that aluminum will bend most parts that you can get for the mt2 (alloy) are not made from the same alloy that other brands use like integy the mt2 parts like the new era and GPM are a softer alloy. I have put my mt2 through alot of crap and have the alloy arms all around but the moment you run into something sollid they bend. I have the plastic mt2 arms on my other nitro (redcat tsunami) and have never ever ever broken one check out these 2 videos of my tsunami and you will see how strong the mt2 plastic arms are

I like your pics man killer looking truck
Wow ....what a hit. You still have that chassis? The front half seemed pretty straight in the 2nd vid. You don't wanna sell the chassis do ya? This would work out pretty well cuz the rear will be straight axle. Let me know.
So plastic better than alumi......but I gotta have some typre of alloy. I'll chech out these Integy you speak of.

RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
hey guys, its been awhile. i have a silly question for you all. my mt2 has been starting great, then this morning, i started it, drove for about 5 minutes or so, and it died. its got plenty of fuel, batteries are new. i tried to start it and after a few hits with the rotostart i noticed that the fuel wasn't filling the tube to the carb. i tried to prime it but everytime you push the tank plunger in, the fuel moves up to the carb, but as i release the plunger the fuel backs it way back into the tank. i can't get it to stay when i release the plunger. i can't find any holes in the fuel line. what else can cause this? is there a hole in the fuel line that i'm missing? any suggestions?

If the radio tray is closed with the pin in place there should be no real way for dirt to get in unless the opening for the servo wires is too large.
I didnt have any problems with the switch on mine, it was a direct fit. Does your switch mount on the side or the top?

I had a racers edge igniter with a meter and the meter didnt seem to do anything. I dont think they are very accurate on any brand igniter.
