RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread

I run a 13T CB and 49T Spur with no problems. Very torquey compared to say 16/49 I ran at one time, and a lot more top-end without sacrificing bottom end compared to my older 13/52 setup. But I run a...

As for the slide carb vs. rotary... slide carbs DO have a better air flow at...

RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread

RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread

I will have to (reluctantly) agree about pull-starts now.
