I have a hpi nitro mt and i want to put a new motor in it. Will this motor work?? http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXBHL2&P=C And what all will i need to buy for it?? I need a new header any ideas??

The motor in the pic is what comes with it from factory So will the os motor fit right in??

NitroSlikk

as long as it has a short type pilot crank, it should fit in there with ease.

Ultimate Racer

Yes, that engine will fit. You'll have to cut the shaft.

rc10_gt

How short would i have to cut it??

jasonthehunted

I thought the Nitro MT took the standard shaft engines like the Rush does?

rc10_gt

Thats what i thought. The motor i pulled from it wasnt short.

Ultimate Racer

My bad, I saw the name and thought you had a GT.

rc10_gt

So will it fit right in with out cutting anything??

Don't forget to pick up some engine mounts...

Any pull start type header will work fine, but I prefer the ones that go around the pull start rather than over the top. A new pipe would be a welcome sight too. The plastic one is better than nothing but its not even close to it potential. I have always liked the Losi pipe. It has a smooth powerband that is easy to drive with.

The if you get the standard shaft, it will drop right in. I'm running a non-pull start one in my hpi mt.

Is it a good motor?? Good power? It has to be better then my xtm .15. Any other good motors i should look at for around 150.00???

The .15 cv-rx is an awesome engine. I had it my T-maxx before the new 2.5 came out. I beat a couple of 2.5's with that cv-rx. I don't know what type of power the xtm has, but that cv-rx pushed my maxx pretty nicely. I don't think you can go wrong.

rc10gt, i just got my new ft gt with the OS .15 cvrx, im still breaking it in because where i live its really hot, but i must say i just ran my fourth tank of break in and omg the thing flies, i dont even put full throttle its at like 2/3 of the throttle a little less! I would get this engine, it screams! tomorrow im gonna lean it out again slightly and hopefully will soon hit full speed. The acceleration is awesome. But this is my 2nd nitro car and for me its the best!

rc10_gt

Well i ordered one today. I also ordered new flywheel, clutch bell, bearings, header and new motor mounts. I hope i get it soon so i can mount it and get it broke in. Then i will end up breaking something else and spending more money lol.

rc10_gt

master let me know what you think about the motor after you break it in. I hope i get mine tom. or thursday they said they shipped it today but i dont know.

rc10_gt

where are the carb settings supposed to be for break in??

rc10_gt

Can someone tell me where there carb settings are?? how many turns in on hs and ls? i cant seem to get it set right atleast i hope its not right bc if it is it sucks bad.
