hey i was patient with my mt2 and it still turned out like that. i guess both of us have bad luck. they wouldn't replace it either.

I do not like the HPI 18SS and am so glade when I got my MT it came as a kit with out and engine or radio set up. Mine has been through many changes and has had the crap run out of it. Has been a great truck. If I where to get and HPI MT 18SS the first thing I would do is sell the engine on ebay and get and OS 18 CV-RX. As you can see mine has a little run time on it. Picture was taken when I was taking out my OS 15 CV-RX and putting my OS 18 TZ in.

RE: problems with an MT2
Is it used? You say the setting is correct but settings need to be changed all the time for weather conditions. Have you tried putting them back to factory settings and then retune as needed? Are you sure the glow plug is good and the igniter is working properly?

RE: problems with an MT2
its brand new just checked glow plug and think its knackered taking to model shop and see wat they say

RE: problems with an MT2
Just a heads up do not get the GPM junk and save your money for things that really help. If you just have to have heavy alloy HP robbing parts get something better then GPM!!!!!!! ;)
