- I purchased a complete RTR on HPI nitro MT2 on eBay for about 100 bucks in some quite rough shape. This video details a full overhaul and repair process to get this vintage icon of an RC back up and running. The following have been done:
1) overhaul nitro motor (remove some dirt on piston)
2) check fuel system for leaks
3) clean air filter
4) adjust clutch bell and spur gear mesh
5) clean and insect the fuel filter - บันเทิง
Just bought a mt2 18ss nitro love here in Alberta Canada
I just picked one of these up for 75 bucks and it runs great
Major Congrats to you my dude! I love this chassis, I have 2 of them. Also try to find yourself the newer HPI nitro BUllet, it's even better than this. I have a few vids on mine, check ti out! Nitrogang!!!.
Nothing like a new family member, I love my nitros Thanks for your time.
hey bro!! I still have this model, I did another video and it literally hit 50MPH in the stock form. I could not believe it. I expected maybe 38 at most. But this thing is sick!! Its almost as fast as the 2-speed traxxas jato.
Nice to see it going. Runs great 👍
yup, love these older HPI models. They never let you down.
Picking up one tomorrow.......👍🏾
Really like this truck can't go wrong with the price and upgraded parts it's a win win situation 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
hey bro! I see you watching many of my old videos, that's awesome!!
Awesome car I just found a mt2 18ss basically new in the box 100 bucks local where I live. Love your vids
Great she’s running perfect bro
YEP, I recently put in a spare 2.4 ghz system into it with a failsafe, now gotta speed test it.
Great video dude
thanks!!!
Badass dude !
thanks bro!! Love me some vintage HPI, these things are top notch overall in terms of long term reliability. I guess these are the Toyotas of the RC world.
Well done bro!..I have a Himoto Viper MT Nitro..I never run it though lol..It's the upgraded model and I've added extra long axles and hex extenders
you gotta start it up man!!! Fast brushless RC is great and all, but nitro is still worth while. When they run well you get alot more joy from that then the electrics. Its a feeling of satisfaction, ahhahahaa. I might do a. video on how to prep and inspect a nitro rc after long periods of inactivity.
@@hybrid32494 Right on man..Looking forward to it
ye, cause as you know I must have purchased way too many old nitro rc's lately, and guess what, they are all runners. I guess anyone today could run a brushless and not know anything about the hobby, but to run and keep running a nitro takes some skill.
Cool! Keep doing vids like this. Do an run on the rovan today if u can plz!
hey dude!! I'm planning on starting up the ROVAN soon, need a warm day, because these things take a while to heat cycle through the first few tanks of gas. Since these old nitros are already broken in I don't have to mess around much with that at least. Also buying a silencer for the Rovan, wonder if it will actually work.
Great job bud. You keep making me want to grab my first nitro! Just ordered that new arrma typhon 3s but my next truck this spring I'll grab a nice nitro truck. What kinda speeds can you get out of a quality 10th scale nitro? Thanks man, great job.
hey buddy!! thanks for watching!! I got a few nitro rcs and the fastest is a Traxxas REVO with an OS .18 TZ, so in a speed test I did it got 43 MPH with a slightly rich engine. Another nitro exceed rally monster with larger wheels and a 2 speed got 39 MPH. I'd say a normal nitro 10th scale with a relatively lean mix will do 45 if it's got a 2 speed. Ofcourse this is all stock gearing too.
@@hybrid32494 thanks for the info bud! I turned on your notifications as I had been missing the past couple months of videos. I will definatly stay tuned in!
Question. The flywheel and clutch bell do or do not rotate together? I'm trying to diagnose mine. Thanks
I can get NIB one of these locally.
What kind of servos for throttle on it
So basically for nitro, when you want to stop using the car for the day or the week etc just hold it at quarter to half throttle to run all the fuel out?
Hello, your model will run out of fuel on it's own, I onyl did that at the end because I was not 100% of how good my first tune on this old engine was after restoration, and wanted to make sure the carb gets a good clean out at the end. PLus i was running pretty rich and didnt want alot of unburned oil left in the pipe.
Hi I have a question is there a way I could talk to you about a nitro RC truck that I have? It's practically brand new but I had a hard time starting it some while ago. Was wondering how much would you charge to get it going if even possible?
hello, no charge at all, would be happy to help you out. What model is it, lets start there. BTW my main video on my home cannel page is on how to start a nitro RC. let me know if you see it.
@@hybrid32494 It's a Kyosho Mad Force Kruiser... I saw that video. My issue is I've tried to get it started probably about a year ago. Put fuel in it tried to start for about 30 minutes sadly no fire. I purged as much fuel as I possibly could put it away and never touched it again. It's leaving a bad taste in my mouth cause it's practically brand new and it has never been started. I'm scared I didn't purged it enough, I don't have the confidence to take it apart to inspect.
thats a great truck!! I would love to have one. The problem with the big block trucks like that is they are a nightmare to start when new for a long time, until the motor breaks in. (they just have so much compression and are tough to start). Main thing, are you sure your glow starter is charged well? you gotta always test it out on a spare old glow plug to see it it actually glows red. Then you could pour some fuel directly in the carb and try to start it. IT should fire up even if you have any vacuum issues. Just like real cars, you need spark and fuel. LOL.
@@hybrid32494 I could look in the tote I have it in see if everything is still there, do you have a Twitter or Facebook I could reach you at?
Looks like it wants to be a drifter
I still have this truck btw. The T-15 engine it comes with is not my favorite, plus it used the older style CLUTH ROLLER BEARING, instead of the modern dual bearing supported clutch bell design. I have since converted it to normal modern specs and it runs. BTW I might have posted some clips of in in a video, where it's running a RED JATO body.
Could you show me the link to buy suspension arm set of aluminum, pls? I need them.
hey buddy, how you doing! I'd love to help you out, but I was not the original owner of this model, and I didn't purchase those aluminum parts. I highly recommend you search ebay, I know you will find some.
@@hybrid32494 thank you, dude. I buy an old car on internet and i've spend many time to search its model. Hope those part will cheap price when i found them
Why do u look so buff?
I lift alot of nitro rc's, lol. aahahahhaa. In reality, RC, lifting weights, cars, speakers, seeking the truth, etc are my main hobbies.
@@hybrid32494 haha same here. Working out, Rcs, working on my car. Just put in a nice double din pioneer and replaced the factory speakers all round in my audi. Put in a nice 10" kicker sub and amp to ad some base. The factory system in my ride sounded horrible. Lol I used to have a 12" jl w7 in my old car that was insane!
thats a nice system you got. I've never worked on car audio since I had my old Acura integra GSR. For some reason when I hooked up a new set of basic pioneer speakers it shorted out the fuel pump and ECU. Since then I've just not messed with wiring. What system was in your Audi? harmon? You ever heard the THX factory sound in a Lincoln, WOW. great system for a ford. lol.
@@hybrid32494 yes i have heard those Lincoln factory systems! They sound great! And yes I did have the harmon. The head unit was nice it was just the speakers that were all blown! Wish it had the factory Bose system that some came with. And I hear ya on the fuel pump, I recently put a walbro 255 pump in. Just did a new turbo, front mount intercooler, injectors and new 3" exhaust over the summer! Very happy with it. Right now I'm having some trouble with it. Think my battery or alternator is bad as it's not starting after sitting for a few days. Was also idling rough and I was getting misfire codes. Sucks having to work on it in the cold and during the winter. Lol
have you checked the coils? I think you have coils like my Lincoln, right? For my car that is always the issue when there is a misfire.
