Do you know what needs to be done to swap in the 2spd tranny?

I dont mind what manufacturer makes the motor, but something that has some power would be nice, I'm also thinking a 2speed tranny upgrade would be nice

Just HSN Its got a little resistance not super hard, its a .15fe engine so smaller but I'm sure its a bit tired. Not sure what i could put in its place, what up grades are available, i currently only have one speed tranny. So not sure if the diffs are strong enough for a bigger motor.

But not sure if it was kust the hot humid weather but after i ran it and it stalled, it was such a pain to start, I'm talking pull start. I actually had to use my remote to go WOT to get ut to start even when worm. Hows that for idle gap?

Its actually because if my remote i have the throttle trim up a little to get the idle up a little because i was nervous that once i got it started and then went to put the body on, by the time i get the clips on too it would stall. I'm gonna take a picture of the throttle idle position, which i...

Yeah i prime the engine, it sucks because the fuel hose i got for replacement is not clear so i can't see the fuel in the hose. Seems like i need to increase the idle as well, because sometimes when i brake it seems to dip low and made me nervous about stalling, i feel like the idle is open...

So the 4wd seems to work good, it drove well. It was a pain to get it started but may e thats because I'm cheap and tried to mix some of my old fuel in with my new fuel, trying not to waste the old fuel... Inly like a 1/4 old to 3/4 new. Maybe i should have diluted it more lol Anyways its hard...

So i believe i fixed my 4wd issues, i did find a backed out set screw. I then removed both and blue lock tighted them. Now all 4 spin if both front spin or both rear spin. While i was in therei greased the dog bones for the transfer case. But i do feel a bit of drag, it when i spin both...

Yeah I'm hoping its just a set screw thay came loose and is preventing my 4x4 from working. But i suppose the diff wouldnt be hard to fix either, just gotta find the parts.

So now i think i blew up the transfer case, unless its just the rear diff.. I'm tired from kneeling and starting it like 40 times today, new gas helps too lol

So i fixed it, i pulled the tank, bubble tested it, no leaks. Changed fuel lines, actually hooked up the top fuel line to the exhaust... Some how it was connected to the idle screw.. Its running ok, moves decent once and awhile it stalls and i have to run up to it and pull the body and start...

Thanks for the help guys. I'm gonna call my local hobby shop and see if theyhave a sealer for the carb,maybe ill at least pick up fuel line. What about a cheap replacement engine? Any recommendations? People never just replace the carb? Sucks i dont have a manual so i dont know the factory...

The fuel lines are clear, and i blew through them, but i guess i should cut the ends off to have them tighter but i think the carb is leaky.

So its been awhile since i used my HPI nitro MT its an old model with the .15 FE It ran good before i put it away, i pulled it out years later and i couldnt get it to stay running. I pulled the carb apart cleaned it put it back together, and it almost ran good, it idled the longest i could get...
