hey bro! 1 SPEED LIVES matter too, you got that right, ahah! as you already know, you cannot kill a nitro, thats why you had no problems firing it up! GReat news, I'm happy to hear that.
I have one that belonged to a buddy of mine but was neglected for years. I'm now rebuilding her. It has an OS 18 CV R and a two speed trans! All of this I installed for him years back. She should be a ripper.
hey my fellow HPI NITRO MT Brother!! I'm super happy to hear that you're going to be making another vintage Nitro Great again!! Thats the main purpose of this entire channel, lol. Anyways, I wasn't aware of there being a 2-speed model, how did you get that going on this one??? I love 2-Speeds!! lol..
@@hybrid32494 I cannot remember where I got it from, it's been so long ago now. But it was a purpose built 2 speed tranny for the Nitro MT. Very very rare to find one now, probably close to impossible.
I also miss the days of stadium trucks. Being born in 90 I grew up seeing all those awesome trucks in my dad's tower hobbies catalogues. My 1st truck was my late father's Traxxas Electric Hawk 2. It's it pieces, I need to find some parts. But I still have the super custom body he pained for it.
HELL YES bro!! Glad to have you living the MT2 NItroGang Life right here with me. I've got a couple other vids on this truck btw. It's once hit 50 MPH, can you believe that!! NUTS for a single speed, right.
thanks dude, going to be fixing and cleaning the one-way bearing in the next video, because I need to hit that 50 MPH - I was only 2 MPH short this time. Also I'll be showing my 8th grade report card, so you know who you're dealing with, lol. NItroGang!
hey man! Thanks so much! Im totally glad you appreciate the content I put out. You will only see cool historic RCs on this channel, and If I happen to have an electric there will almost always still be some Good Nitro Content in there somehow. No video is complete without a nitro my dude!! BTW I still own this HPI and it's currently kicking AS* to this day.
speaking of 2wd nitros I busted one of my front drive shafts on my revo 3.3 and took out the other front just to see how it ran. I was able to actually drift and do cookies on grass for long periods of time so fun!
hey bro! Welcome to the 2WD NitroGang lifestyle, lol. Plus the engine gets to it's top RPM much quicker due to less drivetrain stress on the motor itself. As long as you don't wheelie from the start the straight line driving is awesome on a 2WD. This is why the 2WD stadium truck segment was a huge race class about 20-30 years ago.
thanks bro! I surprise myself sometimes, in the next video you will get to see my original 8th grade report card, I'm not joking. LOL. The NitroGang is smart and I have the proof, lol.
hey man! Thanks for watching. About a year ago I made a video that had clips of this exact HPI racing a Lexus with a dog toy attached to it. In those runs it actually got 50MPH. So I know it's fully capable of 50. also I was only running 20% nitro back then. Honestly I notice zero difference between the 20% Byron Nitro and this 30% bones brew mix. I'm the only one saying this too.
hey bro. You remember a while ago there was another video on this HPI nitro MT, and I got 50 MPH that time. Too bad I could not get it running again due to the damn one way bearing slippage, but I'm going to try again. Honestly I feel this platform could do 60, with taller gearing. It got to speed pretty fast, need to find a bigger clutch bell.
Nitro gang thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work how much are you asking for 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I wish I had all my old RC Driver mags. I subbed to them after the 1st issue came out. I love looking at old RC mags. It's fun but also eerie in a way.
Most auto parts stores, tractor supply type stores have packs of runber vacuum fitting caps/blockoffs that fit the fuel bottle tubes its exactly what they came with no leaks.
thanks man! I'm not a drone GURU, you know. But I do appreciate the little bit of flair it adds once in a while. The pre-programmed shots it can do are awesome.
What's up hybrid. I lost the bidding on that mt2. I'll keep looking. It's ok though after I lost it I went and bought the new wr8 so I feel better now 😊. Looking forward to the hobao you just bought!!! Nitrogang!!
thanks dude! Yep, flying that drone is really simple, without those pre-programed modes it would be super difficult to get such great videos of a stationary object. You have to simultaneously fly up, spin , fly away, and aim the gimbal, Almost impossible to do yourself in such good sequence, I tried. I failed!! lol. BTW, in an older video I drove this hpi MT and it got 50 MPH, back then the one way bearing was not slipping though, lol.
sup bro!! I did run the savage on that giant grass field, it ran pretty good. IT topped out at about 43 MPH. So the grass robs it of some speed. The footage was so bumpy I didn't even put it in the video.
@@hybrid32494 nice run..i have mt2 but broke the spurgear 51t and center shaft can you help me to find parts mt2? Ive been looking but its out of stock.tnx
@@christopherdavid5113 hey dude, did you check the part numbers you're looking for by using the HPI exploded views manuals to the MT2? You need the part numbers, then just put them into ebay, usually you will find a couple.
I like HPI I wish they had their parts support a little better. None the less I am going to run my HPI RS4 3 evo soon. It’s the older discontinued model. The .15 in it really rips to HpI did make some good nitro engines in the day and this mt2 is a testament to it. I’m actually considering a Savage Flux XL 😱😅🤣. Those drones look cool might have to get one myself also. Like another commenter said time to sell a few RC haha
People like to bash HPI and I don’t get it. They were an awesome company back in the day with a stunning catalog! Not to mention they were main company responsible for “mainstreaming” the 1/5 scale segment here in the states.
Hey what's up nitro gang! Anyway as long as you perform maintenance you should be able to jump your rc cars of skatepark ramps without issues. My inferno ST has only now many gallons and half a year of brutal bashing later shown parts that need replacing like the diff cups. Like Woogie nitro said in one of his video's "your rc will break at some point might as well have fun with it while it still runs"
whats up bro! Ye, this new DJI mavic mini is really the best overall deal and specs. And the flight is super reliable, you never worry about landings or anything, super smooth landing.
hey bro, this Dynamite speed meter is the most accurate you could get, ive tested it with real cars and GoPro GPS software, it's accurate. It's got a 10HZ refresh rate which means it can record any top speed within .1 Second intervals. Anyway, yes, I' have a few vids on that green t-maxx, it's probably my favorite nitro truck that I own. That clip was from the original video, check my channel. Thanks for watching btw.
The g3.0 engine is awesome engine I have one in my thunder tiger tomahawk st which originally had a pro18bx engine with 0.80hp so putting the hpi g3.0 with 2.2hp was massively better
hey bro! I have the thunder tiger tomahawk MX touring sedan with the pro18bx motor, and yes, this G3.0 would destroy that engine. It might be the most powerful stock small-block motor to ever be in any RTR I've seen. IT literally matches the specs of the high end OS 18 TZ motor I run in my Revo. Time to stockpile the G3.0 motors, lol.
@@hybrid32494 yh they are great motors and idk about you but ot always took way longer to start the old pro18bx engine the g3.0 engine starts way easier even when i got it brand new. Defo a powerful .18 engine and well priced
hey bro, thanks for watching my dude! In a prior video about a year ago I included a speed run of this same HPI MT2, and I got it to hit 50 MPH on only 20% nitro fuel. I would have hit the 50 in this run if the damn one-way bearing didn't start slipping again after the first tank of fuel.
hey man! YES, you got a point! We need to be glad that Traxxas still sells most of their Nitro Fleet. Come to think of it, almost every manufacturer is leaving the Nitro Scene, including Kyosho and Losi (the ones who led the way in the 80-90's with race winning innovations. Now the Kyosho Mad Crusher is gone, alone with anything that isn't a boring 1/8 buggy.
Great review, I just got my HPI MT2 3.0 started after many years sitting it ran for a day and then broke the connecting rod. Sooo . I was thinking about either rebuilding it. Or just buying another RC. Wanted your opinion? On your experience are parts hard to get for the HPI? That is the reason for me thinking about just getting a new one . Thanks
sup bro! So you feel my pain, with the nitro fuel lol. Yup, running a big block is not cheap. This .18 HPI motor is super efficient, I don't even check the tank to see if it' got enough left, I'm usually done having fun and there is still fuel in the tank ,LOL>
@@hybrid32494 yea i have 3 savage 21, 1 stock 25 min per tank 2 moded maybe 10 minutes. Old hpi junkie, don't bash them anymore parts scarce. But a 30 ft launch over my truck isn't bashing lol
hey bro, nope, this isn't new. I've gad it for over a couple years now. Check my channel I did a few videos on it. One when I first got it from ebay too. Here a link to the original video when I first got it.th-cam.com/video/sacgxONBRD8/w-d-xo.html
hey dude, I highly recommend you pick up a regular traxxas 2070 digital servo, or if you want waterproof get the 2075. There are far more expensive servos from spectrum too, or you can get this one here, many people love them and I use them also. amzn.to/3y60P0k
@@hybrid32494 Thanks for get back to me. Watching you video gave me the inspiration to get this thing running after 20 years. My wife wanted me to throw it out.
Hi! What a coincidence! I’ve only ever owned one remote control car/truck in my life and yes it’s a hpi nitro mt2! I found it in my lock up this morning while I was decluttering. It’s been in there since I was like 10 year old that’s 15 years ago lol Decided to get it out and fix it for my son to play with just like I did:) But cannot find the parts and I was researching earlier and came across that hpi racing went bankrupt and no longer sell/make the parts anymore. Could you/anyone help me out where I could find the parts? I’m needing... A part from the A396 servo saver set And also a front suspension arm. Thank you very much!!
hey my dude! Thanks for watching. Glad you liked this video and were able to watching along with your vintage Nitro MT2. I have a solution for you on the Servo saver parts you need. Forget the entire servo saver mechanism and just use a basic servo horn, mine doesn't even have a servo saver at this point, I just have a straight servo horn attached directly to the servo. It's fine. Unless you bash the HELL out of it and jump alot, you won't strip the servo. The suspension arm you will need to get on ebay. If you could, it's in your best interest to find a parts model on ebay for cheap. This will be useful in the long run.
hybrid32494 no thank you for creating it, Gave me great nostalgia 😁 thanks for the information appreciate it! I have seen a couple for spares on eBay what I’m watching. I also found an original suspension arm but the delivery is expensive. Any idea how much these sell for roughly now days? As I don’t want to over pay haha thanks again! (The full truck not the suspension arm)lol
thanks bro! BTW, this HPI MT did hit 50 MPH a while ago, I have a video on here for about a year ago. And that was on 20% nitro fuel, so I really cannot tell a difference running this 30% nitro. LOL.
hey bro. The original Nitro MT (lets not call it an RS4- I should not have done that in this video). The original Nitro MT and the MT2 are almost the same, really only an engine difference. This model is the MT2 G3.0, there was also an MT2 with a T-15 motor before this. The g3.0 is the best, it's got a larger fuel tank also and a dual chamber tuned pipe along with a good header. Otherwise they are nearly the same. Parts are interchangeable.
I had the MT 2 18 Pro, the standard engine was a disaster, I bought a Novarossi 15 out of frustration and installed it, but it tore up the car, drive shafts flew through the air like some tire parts ... ggg .. ..
hey my dude! Glad to see you watching my older videos, and welcome to the Channel, I see you're a new sub! Thank yoU!. I'm curious you didn't have the G3.0 engine that mine has? That is legit the best nitro motor I think HPI has ever made. If you look up the specs on it, it's rated at 2.25 HP, thats alot for a .18. But ye, the metal quality on the parts is not awesome.
hey my dude! HMM?? were you running the same stock HPI motor? I never had a diff problem at all with any of my Nitros. Diff problems usually happen when you jump them, that I will admit. I don't jump 95% of my RCs for this reason.
NitroGang is very smart and innovative, I like that thinking bro, good job. Just to show you how smart the NitroGang is I will be showing everybody my 8th grade Report Card which is around the time I got into the RC hobby. Lets see how I did!!! lol..
ahahaha, good one!!! Im actually laughing right now, lol. HPI is boss, don't matter what other say about it. They got many of us into the hobby years ago, along with traxxas. Plus they retain value more value than a bad investmnet in a bad economy, lol.
Hey bro, those .21 SH engines are quite good for the money, its basically the same engine in my redcat earthquake 3.5 (which I recently did videos on). The problem with sticking a big-block in a revo is it won't fit without a custom motor mount. You need a big block conversion kit for the traxxas rcs.

This model is the MT2 G3.0, there was also an MT2 with a T-15 motor before this. The g3.0 is the best, it's got a larger fuel tank also and a dual chamber tuned pipe along with a good header. Otherwise they are nearly the same. Parts are interchangeable.
When are you
going to make another video about the rampage xr bro
I had the MT 2 18 Pro, the standard engine was a disaster, I bought a Novarossi 15 out of frustration and installed it, but it tore up the car, drive shafts flew through the air like some tire parts ... ggg .. ..
hey my dude! Glad to see you watching my older videos, and welcome to the Channel, I see you're a new sub! Thank yoU!. I'm curious you didn't have the G3.0 engine that mine has? That is legit the best nitro motor I think HPI has ever made. If you look up the specs on it, it's rated at 2.25 HP, thats alot for a .18. But ye, the metal quality on the parts is not awesome.
I had one of those it was fun but ate diffs for lunch
hey my dude! HMM?? were you running the same stock HPI motor? I never had a diff problem at all with any of my Nitros. Diff problems usually happen when you jump them, that I will admit. I don't jump 95% of my RCs for this reason.
I lost the cap for my bottle and found a cap that fitted roughly I heated with aheat gun now seems like original
NitroGang is very smart and innovative, I like that thinking bro, good job. Just to show you how smart the NitroGang is I will be showing everybody my 8th grade Report Card which is around the time I got into the RC hobby. Lets see how I did!!! lol..
Do you have any hpi nitro hellfire to show ??
People like to "bash" HPI? I would like to bash WITH an HPI 😉
ahahaha, good one!!! Im actually laughing right now, lol. HPI is boss, don't matter what other say about it. They got many of us into the hobby years ago, along with traxxas. Plus they retain value more value than a bad investmnet in a bad economy, lol.
Yo dude do you know anything about a hotbodies .21 nitro engine 3.5 cc that is cheap on Aliexpress and wish? And should I buy it for my revo?
Hey bro, those .21 SH engines are quite good for the money, its basically the same engine in my redcat earthquake 3.5 (which I recently did videos on). The problem with sticking a big-block in a revo is it won't fit without a custom motor mount. You need a big block conversion kit for the traxxas rcs.
