Hi,
It might sounds crazy to fit a .18 on a 1/10th stadium truck but this is actually what HPI did on the MT2 w/ the 18SS. Do you know any other .18 engine that would fit (.18 Sirio TMaxx or OS .18TZ-TX)?
Or any better alternative and /or suggestions in the .12 or .15 pull start for my MT nitro 2spd ?
Thanks.

I don't knoww too much info om the HPI MT, but if the chasis and drive shaft set up is the same as the MT2 the .18cv-rx is a drop in fit all you need are motors mounts and a washer (part z699). I supose the .18 tz will fit too, but you need to upgrade to heavy duty gear shaft setup, and I have not seen a mt or mt2 with the tz motor in it yet, but I know I will soon. I just put the .18 cvrx in my MT2, it's a pretty sweet engine plus at $109 its a good deal. goodluck

Thanks,
I appreciate your advise.
I will go for an OS engine and I will check if I can fit the TZ. If not I will go for the same as yours.
Cheers.
