TT Mini Titan and Scorpion HK-2221-6 V2
Anyone know if the stock MT head would hold up to a Scorpion HK-2221-6 V2, or would I be better off with the 2221-8 V2?

your pinion choice is going to be the determining factor. I'm sure you could probably run either of those motors if you choose accordingly, question is will it be efficient or a waste?
I think you probably want the -8 and I wouldn't want to really run it all out with a plastic head.
I run mine at 3k with a kasama head and jgf500th on 14t pinion, don't think I would want to run it this fast with plastic, at least not anywhere close to me.

smarks,
Get the mini titan kasama head from Grandrc.com, I bought the complete setup with the swash for 140-160 I believe and it might even be a bit cheaper now.
If you are going with the 2221-8 I would say try a 13t pinion on 3s, think some people have used it on 4s with a 10t as well. I'd go with the 13 and see what you think, that should have your headspeed over 3k.

Good sound advice.
The only thing I would differ with is the choice of head. Whilst "Kasama"is very good and has an excellent reputation you might like to have a look at a "G-Force" head. It is very well made, incredibly strong, and has the advantage of being tunable - you can vary the three "O" rings in each side of the head to achieve the flight characteristics you desire.
This is my own personal opinion you understand, but if you choose either of these heads you will not go far wrong.
Oh, one other thing, change the main rotor blades to carbon. I can recommend SAB - they fly very nicely indeed. I am just about to try a new set of BBT Maniacs, but I can't as yet comment on them.
Good luck.
Regards all,
Dave

Here is a picture of my Mini-Titan head, it is half TT and half "G-Force." I prefer the flybar cage arrangement to the Kasama set up.
