Default Got something up my sleeve!

Yep, once again, I have something up my sleeve(and it's not a piston).
Can't really say what yet.
This mod will be for the MXT-2S / MTR-2S.... And possibly more to follow......

Good eyes there Eddie! LOL!
Yep... I told ya it was BIG........
I am using the stock flywheel, and clutch from the Infinity18engine. There were some things I had to do to get them to work, but were simple.

I have thought about putting a modded sh.28 on my mtr-3...just didnt think it would be that much fun with the lil fuel tank though....would make one heck of a drag truck though...i doubt the gearing would be good enuff to run top end with a 3.3 jato ....but would prolly give it a run..lol</p>

you would be suprised,  that mtr stock is a fast little truggy, it would be a beast with a .28 in it and i am pretty sure the drivetrain could hold up good to it too.

Yep, it's an Axial .28 8-Port Spec 1s.
It's a beautiful engine.
Eddie, Is the chassis the only difference in the .18 versus the .21 version?
If everything(parts) else will swapright over to the .21 chassis without anyproblems,a big block conversion would be much easier than the way I am doing it.
**Update** I think I would need the parts that start with 801-XXXX......... Which is not that many.....
I want that 13 tooth vented clutchbell !

just the few numbers that are different but the chassis is the big difference.  I need to go thru them both and see and note the differences.

Yeah, I downloaded the 21 version's manual, but the parts pages were too blurry to make some numbers out.

it looks like just the chassis,  the holes are in a different place and the mounts are a little different but the stock mounts will work.
