Default new engine/drivetrain for mt2

If I were to put an O.S. .18tz in my mt2 what changes would I need to make to the drive train? Also, any other changes you could think of? Thanks

All depends on if you have a RTR or the 18SS.

Yes I recommend upgrading the drive train to SS specifications and guess it would take $150 to $200. 2 heavy-duty differential gear kits will cost around $65 alone. You will need these sooner or later whether you put a TZ in or not.

So I need to rebuild the front and rear diffs to 18ss specs and that calls for new axles, anything past that???

Go to HPI web site and down load the MT2 18SS manual and then compare the part numbers with your RTR manual and you will see what you need. This is some and many not be all you need
Savage CB with bearings
4 heavy duty diff cups
2 Heavy duty diff gear kits
Drive cups for spur gear shafts
Front CVD shaft kit
Rear CVD shaft kit on these make sure you get the MT2 SS ones!!!!!!!!!!

Like is said be read to spend around $150 to $200 not including the engine.
