i kno this has nothing to do with the thread but how do u put a picture by ur name[&:]

Its the avatar under settings.

Umm, moabs, hpi rims, 49T spurs, OFNA slide linkage, OS .18TZ, diff housings and duratrax vented and lightened flywheel which I am having trouble fitting.



are you able to show me a diagram of where the shims should go? I used all the bigger shims inside the diff, there is no play until I force it but when I move the drive train the gears are rough because they are meshed to each other tightly.

thank you i will try that tonight

spoonrc, see if this helps.

my MT2 was brushless before it was bigblock and it was also 2 speed. AS A WARNING it's a long road, battery space along with HI rpms is a bad combo !

You guys able to help me fit this flywheel http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...5&I=LXESB3&P=K onto the .18TZ-TX? http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...5&I=LXHLV9&P=K

The collet is exactly the same in this picture, it doesnt fit over the engine end of the crank shaft http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...5&I=LXHLV9&P=K

system, what gearing are you using on the 2 speed?

If the hole is too small you will need to drill it out. The link you posted is not for a MT2 flywheel. Its a duratrax, that cold be why it dosent fit. *shrugs* i donno how else you can get it to fit.

Personaly i would stick with a stock one, there was no diffrence in preformance its just bling.

Really? Well that was a waste lol! Ill use the stock one and try to get it to fit in the meantime.

That the same thing i though when my $15.00 lightweight flywheel craped out on me.

slim there is a differance between the stock fly wheel and the duratraxx one the dura traxx flywheel is lighter I put the dura traxx one on my tz and there were no issues at all and that flywheel that you had was a GPM right?

How did you mount the flywheel to the tz??

i use the stock gears that come in the two speed kit. the 43/47 spurs and the purple CB gears 18/22 this will not work with a smallblock ! the purple's are OK but the spurs should be 41/45 and the cb should be the gold gears this would allow more rpm's to get the truck moving before it shift's, and I would go no smaller than a OS .18 TM with a good tuned pipe. anything less and you risk not being able to get the tranny to shift.

Here's those pictures slim. Didn't realize they didn't link, well if you still want to see. Nearly finished putting it together.

eminentguitar: Yeah mine was a GPM but it was also a lightweight one aswell.

spoonrc: Thats a nice bit of loot...have you mounted the mobas up yet? I know thos are really tall tires (had them on my rockcrawler) you might experance roll overs alot more with them. Might want to put some limiters (fuel line) inside the shocks to keep the COG lower.

hey man just take that black nut off of your crank and leave the aluminum spacer thats on the engine. then you put the flywheel on WITHOUT the collet k you done need that collet the hole in the flywheel is just the right size to go over the crank then you put your pilot nut on sound good? I just took mine apart and that how she goes honest man its a great whywheel and helps with the revs alot.

alight, ill pull it apart later thanks

So the flywheel just sits against the drive washer? Because it looks like the grooves on the washer will grab the flywheel, but I'm not sure how good.

well they grab good on mine man no problems so far. You just have to make sure that there good and tight and put a little lock tite on your pilot shaft. I have been running my mt2 all summer and its still good.

Hey KeithjV are you able to show a picture of the OFNA linkage set up on your mt2? I just want to see how you have mounted it.

Here ya go. If you cant see it let me know and Ill try to get a better picture of it for you. I changed the shocks to the GPMs so I need to take some new pictures anyway.

You know HPI makes a servo horn for slide carbs right?.

A traxxas servo in an MT2????? AAAAAAHHHH!

Hahahaa *hangs head in shame* Its waterproof, thats the only reason its in there.
