Default Check out my GT2 beast!!


















Mine is the GT2 RTR version, this is what I have done to it so far:
Airtronics 94361Z Rock Crusher servo - for steering
Airtronics 94162Z High Torque Ball Bearing Servo - for throttle
Aluminum Differential gear
56T Spur gear
Exhaust routed to the rear with automobile fuel line
Moto saver air-filter
Micro failsafe
replaced all bushing to bearing


Tires use:
Pro-Line Moab 2.2 = for grass and offroad
Pro-Line Dirt Hawg 2.2 = general bashing
Pro-Line Road Rage II 2.2 = on road



Not sure what to upgrade next, maybe a more powerful motor or something

nope, I was running back and forth with and without the exhaust tube, it does not effect neither low, nor top end performance, though I notice is the exhaust noise is quieter and doesn't sound as "tinny", biggest difference is....no more oily crap spraying all over the body, engine, and tire!

alcohol ain't going to cut the tough grease/stain, you'll need some heavy duty stuff, maybe some paint solvent or some sort. my engine heatsink is coated with black carbon looking stuff...result from exhaust spray, annoying as hell and I'm sure that crap will affect the cooling performance, this is the main reason why I re-route the exhaust, should of done it on the day i purchase this car.

Nice pics. Do they not make a 360 stinger for the GT2? I know i had it on my Rusty but i got tired of it. I don't mind the oil...and to clean something like the engine, carburetor cleaner is your friend.

You don't want anything to get into the engine. I usually use paper towels and plug the air in take and the exhaust port. Then spray the engine to clean it off. I don't go crazy with it since it can remove paint and such, but i never had the anodized from the head come off. If you don't have an anodized head than don't worry about it coming off. My brothers Maximum st has a non-anodized head and carb cleaner works wonders.
