well i broke the front arms on mine cause at my appts where I live I run it into the curb all the time, upgraded to ALUMINUM and ran it into a tree, no problem, didn't break anything, if you want to see a vidoe of one I put one in the video forum but it only had 3 wheels cause of course we broke an a-arm (plastic) not aluminum, I don't expect them to break or bend now

i ahd 1 for about 4 months and bashed the crap out of it ,,the only thing i broke all the time was the shock towers ,honestly i can't remeber breaking a arm once ,
btw:i sucked at jumping it too lol

greenwing7: thanks.. i think ill upgrade the a arms if i get it.. the good thing is i dont have any curbs in my neighborhood and sometimes i run it in the park

racin38: thanks.. i think ill upgrade the shock towers too.. lol I'm not good at jumping with my trucks either i always break the shock towers too


wat got me was my friend wasn't hittin any jumps we were just flyin through the dirt.. well i guess that rock did have an effect on it.. ; )

 

[greenwing7]

its my first nitro vehicle and its pretty nice, I am in the process of upgrading to aluminum everything and hopefully putting a .21 conversion into it, as of right now I just have a slipper clutch, os cv-x, titanium turnbuckles, aluminum a-arms and aluminum front and rear arm mounts, I really like the new pins and the derilin bushings, way better than stock and really smooth

 

[RC10lover627]

yeah.. do u kno were i can watch videos or get some specs on it????

 

[greenwing7]

umm i am pretty that the guys at www.slapmafro.com drive a nMT if you kinda know what they look like you can pick it out otherwish I don't know you could look in the video forum for the one that i posted when it was 3-wheelin

 

[RC10lover627]

wats the title of ur video????

 

[greenwing7]

here is the link to the video
its really funny and set to music from napolean dynamite, I kinda feel like the kid just throwin his savage around tho but it will give you a good laugh i think

Which HPI MT you talking about?? Savages are damn near indistructable. And are the best bashers around. I had 2 rc10Gts and they bored the poop out of me. Granted I wasn't racing them and just ripping around with them, but I didnt like them at all.. Id definatly go for the MT if your more into bashing..

 

[AC48]

He is talking about the HPI Nitro RS4 MT, the 1/10th 4WD truck, not the Savage.

 

[RC10lover627]

yeah its the hpi nitro mt rtr not the savadge

 

[Nevaren]

I have an HPI MT2 18 SS, not as tough as my savage, I dont bash the MT as hards as the savage, but only thing i have ever broken are the ball ends that the turnbuckles attach to, on my old MT1's i put titanium ball ends and RPM ball cups on to solve that.

this is the thread with our video in it, just us messing around. I am going to replace all the ball ends with titanium ones I'm sick of replacing things like shock towers and C-hubs cause those stupid things break LOL live and learn

 

[RC10lover627]

hahaha nicee videos greenwing.. i didnt think it would actually be able to go with 3 wheels. lol

 

[Izigoth]

I just buoght a HPI MT2 SS kit, after LOTS of research.. I can't give an opinion yet but I hope it can handle a hit... mainly bought it for racing/fun!

 

[RC10lover627]

[RC10lover627]
