sweet i think mine would pop wheelies but I have never really driven it

Gbaby158

Hi all, got the picco fitted and that, i need to get a better set-up for the linkage though im going to go with wht Slim has, thanks Slim for the pic (Y) Ive got a problem with the engine though, everytime its on for about a min it starts going on its own when you press the throttle, then doesn't go back in all the way then the carb starts getting stuck and really hard to move, someone said to me that its because the engines getting to hot and its making it get stuck ? what do you lot think ? any ideas on how tune it right aswell ?

xxSLiMxx

If its moveing on its own its because the RPM's are set to high or your break linkgae isnt tight enough. Try resetting the neddle valve and retune it, try running a little on the rich side. Try and get a temp gun, they really are worth getting.

I had a pico in my savage and it was a ***** to keep it tuned but when it was that motor was a friggen monster...it used to eat my heavy duty dog bones.

JELLEY

hey guys
can u tell me difference between 8 and 10 degree rear hubs

Gbaby158

Slim how do you get your servo horn like that ?

KeithjV

Its the angle the rear wheels are at if you look straight at them. The 10 degree should give better handling on turns allowing more tire to contact the ground. If you do a search you can find a lot of articles on adjusting the camber

JELLEY

pls gimme answer

JELLEY

soz didnt see dat pc just boxed over ure post soz bout the gimme answer

JELLEY

cheers in that case it doesnt matter which1's i get cause u can just adjust the camber yh

Here is the HPI slide card linkage. It works fine on my rig with an 18 CVRX with slide carb.

There are other hubs for camber? I thought there were only two different hubs for the toe setting??

eminentguitar

yeah there are only 2 different hubs for toe in and its something like 1 digree and 1.5 degrees

Gbaby158

Slim's using the standard servo horn, i want to know how he is doing this.

MORE SPEED

Well, i finally got my ride back on the dirt, after 4 months of saving for parts to fix it after the throttle linkage popped off[:@] I took her out a few hours ago, and wheelies on command

MORE SPEED

BTW Slim, its on a 3 shoe clutch[:-]

ASYSTEMERROR

Well i was waiting for someone to figure it out ! he has a smallblock with the same "slide type" carb but a bigblock places the carb further forward. i'm sorry for not really seting it up completely because i even have to angle my carb ! my setup isn't the best because i just got it to the point where it works good, it took forever to build the car. i had zero knowledge of a mt2 before i built one halfway thru my build i got a very nice BB Mt2 with alot of work into it and i sold it because the one i built was brushless. i wil improve the linkage but i tried alot of stuff and this works so now i can build on a working system. Bigblock,Smallblock,SingleSpeed,Two Speed none are in the same position ! THE MT2 IS TOTALLY CUSTOM . the big carb is mostly to blame but you can use slims method you just have to tweek it a tad for bigblock. i can't remember how the one i had was but it did use the stock servo horn like slims. that just didn't work for me ! with the two speed because i had to get my motor even closer cause of the small onroad rs4 gears.

ASYSTEMERROR

i said it before but the Geolanders are like the best tire for the mt2 i even like them on the street !

Gbaby158

I've only got 1 gear on mine, i've used your method but it wont brake, my brake is when i let go of the throttle it brakes.
Ill get a pic.

eminentguitar

yeah gbaby get that pic up asap I wanne see it. Slim has the slide carb servo horn for the mt2. You should be able to make that work with minor mods.

eminentguitar

or maybe if you can mount the pivot point for the revo somewhere on the mt2 then you can just use the rotary carb linkage. ill try to find a pic of it

Gbaby158

How do i put pictures up ?

eminentguitar

to put pictures up you have to click on post reply on the bottom of the thread before the fast reply box. then it will give you an option to upload photos

Here is the pivot linkage the revo has http://www.traxxas.com/products/nitr...ttle-crank.jpg

Gbaby158

The carb isn't on in the pic as ive got the sticking slide problem, if you want i can get a pic of it on there.
Sorry for the poor pics.

eminentguitar

you need that spring and coller on the throttle linkage to take the pressure off the carb when you aply brakes. Go to the page before this and make yours look just like the one that asystemerror made.

eminentguitar

i bet thats what wrecked your carb

eminentguitar

get some videos of that man I wanna see that thing do wheelies!!!!

Gbaby158

Na, its a thing that happens on them carbs i've been told, the slide expands at a different rate. Look in the monster turck thread and then into HPI and picco engines.
