i thinking was the savage tranny could hold up better than the rs4 tranny.i would think you could counter sink the tranny through the pan and use a skid plate and maybe shim the diff housings up a bit.i would think some angle on the drive shafts would be ok.the angle on the axles seams to work.

Other issue I see is your raising the center of gravity pretty high. Honestly it would probably flip extremely easy. After raising my MT2's COG a half an inch it started to flip on turns. Can't imagine turning a MT2 after having to raise the engine up and everything else that needs it.

IMO it would be cheaper and easier to install a .21 big block, K4.6, or even K5.9 off a savage and gain your speed that way. you probably won't make half throttle before it would lift of the ground though

If you want all out speed just put the OS .18 TZ in the MT2. It will make the truck faster then you can imagine. Its so fast its actually very hard to control

i am going to put a sportwerks .26 in it that i took out of my savage.i am conserned that i will be rebuildind the diffs and slipper cluch every other day.i am going to run v-grove tires on it.they are low profile and 3-1/2" tall.what is a good gear combo that works well without totaly killing my low end.i wish some one made heavy duty diffs for it.a pair of dana 60's would be nice.thanks for your input
Darren.

With a .26 you should be able to run 15 or 16 to 52 or 49 without much of a problem. I dont recommend doing donuts though cause that engine will shred the diffs.

hey keith ive hot a problem with my tz,when i hit flat out throttle or blip the throttle the motor bogs down?i dont get what it is been over the whole drivetrain and still cant figure out what it is? think it my be a tuneing issue what do you think?ive done about 4 litres of fuel through this puppy

thanks

KeithjV

If its cutting out at wide open throttle it might be too lean. Try richening the HSN 1/8th of a turn and see if that helps. Sometimes as the weather changes you need to retune it a little.

okay guys this might be a dumb ? but here it goes i gotta ask anyways my mt2 is just about all aluminum now everything but the steering lol i know should of dont that first but sometimes im ass backwords and the only other thing plastic is the battery box setup well and the fuel tank but my question is does anyone know if anyone makes an anuminum batterie box anywhere i think that would look cool to top off everything els so if anyone has seen one out there or comes across one please let me know

KeithjV

The only thing Ive seen is the alloy plate. It doesnt actually have a battery box like this http://www.asiatees.com/display.php?...20MT%202&pid=1

Doogie147

yeah thanks keith yeah i seen that one also  maybe that would work if i could find a silver cover for the servo and batterie compartment who knows maybe ill make one my self and see how it turns out

SyCo_VeNoM

that radio tray leaves alot to be desired. Love how your supposed to zip tie the battery to it

KeithjV

Yea Im not of fan of it either. Everything is exposed. But if you want alloy thats the only thing available.

Doogie147

im gonna talk to my buddy and see if he can use the cnc mahine at work and make me one outta aluminum  just like the origional battery box... well if he can do it i will post some pictures maybe ill need more then one lol

Doogie147

venom you been to leasure hours track in joliet? just seen it online here a couple weeks ago thinking about checking it out when the outdoor track opens up for the season... cant find too many places to race around here other than just the one local track

KeithjV

I wonder if a total alloy battery box would create interference for the radio though?

Doogie147

yeah i didnt think of that maybe i should try to incase the reciever in metal first and try to run it befor i went through all that

Because I dont feel like hitting 808 page to see if someone else had that problem im gonna ask it here, [8D] I own a MT2 G3.0, everytime I hit the throttle, it goes right, but when I drop the throttle, it goes straight, could it be a stability problem and how could I get it fixed?

KeithjV

C'mon, its only 808 pages.. How long could that take to read?
The truck pulls to the right?
How are your tires? Are you diffs in good shape?

Have you thought of starting a new thread? They did that with the evader because the first thread got too large to search. It wouldn't take long for the new thread to cover the basic stuff (ie. does a cvr or tz drop in, help me with my diff's). The thread size is turning people away from browsing.

KeithjV

You think its turning people away? I thought people liked the fact that there was so much info on a relatively old truck. Besides I dont think most people mind answering questions that have been covered here before, unlike in some threads where they bite your head off.

Doogie147

i agree i love this thread and yes people are more than willing to help with anything ive ever asked.... great group of guys here i believe

I don't think it turns people away but it discourages them from reading and they end up just asking questions that are sometimes covered even three pages earlier. In the evader threads both exist and there is often references to the old thread. I read through about 200 pages of this thread (actually, of any thread I am interested in being a part of) and you start to see trends. After 200 pages there is not much new stuff to cover.

Nice big block - I wouldn't mind seeing a video of that thing screaming.

nitrokillr

I need learn how to drive it. lots of fun untill you hit a gopher hole at 50mph. I have never seen a car cartwheel like that.

Tilux

Refering to my question, diff in good shape, same for tire, it looks like there is more weight on one side than the other.
