im gonna put it in my hpi mt2 it'll be a little faster the rpm is much better also what do you guys think

It is one heck of an engine, so you shouldn't have any problem with it.

Well your stocker has a rotary carb., and that one has a slide carb so you will need to build a new linkage setup that rotates the the pull angle by 90deg. It also has a rear exhaust, your stocker has side exhaust with a rectangle port rather than a round header port. Oh yeah, also you will need a starter-box or a hand-starter with a donut adapter to start it (and that is if you have the flywheel hole in the chassis, I know your stocker was roto-start)......

For the same price at Stormer, you can get the Epic .18 that makes more power with the same RPMs and should be a bolt in......

1.8 HP
39,000 RPM

Even if you don't go with the Epic, look for one with same layout for the least amount of stress during the swap....

oh yeh i forgot about that but the epic is to powerful it will tear up my differentials in stuff if i wanted that i'd have to change all of that stuff and i dont feel like doin that now

I run it in a Tower ST-15 and it hasn't torn up anything in the drivelin e so far. I don't think you'd have much of a problem with it, that HPI is tough.

oh well thats what someone told me

Bah, if my ST-15 can handle it I KNOW your mt2 can. My Savage is tough as nails and I would expect your stadium truck to follow that lineage. Go with the Epic, or something similar, the 4wd already eats up a bit of your speed..... My truck is freakin' scary fast... With the suspension set to the lowest point (I ditched those short-ass a-arms for RC10 arms) and shocks set the softest, and switching from a 15tooth CB up to an 18tooth, my truck still wheelies over backwards on pavement. It is very nice.

kool i might get it
