That's great i didn't have much help when i was building my truck but i got good fast because almost everything works best when you do alil something to it !

Dood if your only on your 6th tank and your pulling that kind of power I would say that your running a bit lean for breakin.

I wanna see an MT2 do wheelies.
I got the BB in but Im having trouble adjusting the shifting. I have the wolfpack radicals 2 speed setup in there. Its supposed to be a smoother more consistent shift but so far I havent noticed. Ill post some pictures tomorrow.

eminentguitar

I hate 2 speeds for that reason man exept the thraxxas one seems to be alright but still not consistant sometimes it shifts really really late. I want to see some vids of these bb mt2's its going to be crazy. Not that there going to have alot more hp then my tz but they will have more torque and thats what I like.

ASYSTEMERROR

That's why i have the jato wheels on my MT2 i do have a set of the Geolanders but they are wheelie city !!!! even when the car shift's to second the wheels lift and your forced two get out of the throttle ! but the truck is no fun with that much power unless you firm up the shocks. two speeds need to reach a certain rpm before they will shift traxxas cars are geared well to get it done with smaller motors but i don't think you could get a Mt2 to shift with a smallblock unless you use some large spurs on the tranny. 43/47 is what the 2 speed comes with and it's fine for the bigblock but 47/51 plus the gold colored pinions this combo may work with a good smallblock. I love having the 2 speed but i'm building a single speed small block mt2 so i can go off road with it, i want to know what you guy are so happy about oh ! i also need to find some dirt or gravel "school playground" hope i can post some pics by friday of the new but used MT.

I was thinking of getting the jato wheels, what are the different in them then to stop it wheelieing as much ?
Has anyone got a pic of there ?MT2 with a wheelie bar on ?

ShoestringRacer

The way he is doing that is by using one of two parts on the HPI #85039 parts tree. He has part #2 of the tree which is the slide carb arm. The #4 part is the rotary carb arm. They Both use the same servo horn and round collar metal spring. Look at the parts on the next link:

If you do not have the bottom horn and spring that is HPI part a396, see link:

To end the confusion I would go to the following link and download and read the manual -and I mean actually do it don't just read this and go on your way.

Step #40 on page 27 has the diagram and parts numbers. It shows the rotary carb set up. The NEXT page, page 28, step 42 shows the Slide carb set up. (it's a mystery where step 41 disappeared to).

Go to this link and download the manual for the MT2 18 SS. (don't go to another page and download the 18 SS+ manual because it is missing pages)

All you guys with the BB, how are you mounting it to the chassis? Is there anything you have to do to make it fit?....im thinking i might drop one in over the winter.

Gbaby158

Thanks for that ShoestringRacer, Well in mine Slim i got the savage engine mount and got a CD pen and marked about the mount where i wanted it and then drilled the chassis, ill get a pic for you ina min.

xxSLiMxx

Cool, id like to see a pic. Do you think one of thos Savage 5.9 motors will fit? Cus if i do go down the big block road im going to go all out and put the biggest motor i can. lol

Gbaby158

LOL i want to see that.
Just uploading pics now (Y)

KeithjV

I used the savage engine mount as well. I wouldnt go too big. You have to remember the MT2 wasnt designed to handle that much torque. Too big and you are going to be blowing things up. Also Im having trouble getting the body to fit with the BB. I dont want to hack it all up in case I go back to the SB. And I havent managed a wheelie yet with the BB in it.

KeithjV

I think Im going to have another 2 speed transmission available for sale if anyone is interested. Its the shaft and the spurs no drive cups.

xxSLiMxx

KeithjV have you had any problems with your shock ends comming off or stripping really easy? Thos ate the GPM ones right? If had to order 2 sets of rears in like a month because if lost the springs and spring retainer.

KeithjV

No, no problems with them so far.. What was happening? The plastic was stripping out?

xxSLiMxx

Yeah the little plastic peace on the bottom of the shock that connects to the rear a-arm. Iv tryed eveything to keep it on and i keep stripping them when im bashing. Its only my rear driver side that it happens too.

eminentguitar

I had that same issue man till I went to the lhs and got some tmaxx rod ends there are some that fit right in but there just a little bit shorter no big deal really. They never pop off now!!!! and the price was good too!!!

KeithjV

Im still waiting to see some video of the MT2 doing wheelies with the BB........ c'mon hook a brother up..

ASYSTEMERROR

What tire's are you using ? and one other thing that motor you are using my buddy has one on his Mt2 also it has the rpm's for speed but it lacks in hp. don't ditch the two speed yet ! when i was using my 4.6 .28 savy motor with the 43/47 combo my car wheelie at half throttle. with the lrp .28 it wheelied at 1/4 throttle. and not i'm using a kyosho .28 it wheelie's but i really have to hammer it. i'll try to put the youtube link up it's a few pages back

i had a tank of gas that was in the car over two weeks but at 30 bucks a gallon i wasn't pouring it out but the next time i won't let it sit so long but the annaconda's was the only thing stopping me from pulling the tires so fast regaurdless i never took the engine over half throttle anyway i constantly worry about the cvd's while i ran this motor in it but watch the other two video's i have there with the kyohso motor no where close on speed but i'm not scared to speed run it now. with the lrp it's out of radio range so fast it cost MONEY !!!!
