i purchased my mt2 recently so i could drive with my friend and his brother. they both have monster trucks, t-maxx (i think) and savage, and had been driving theirs in a sand dune on their property. i went out, broke it in, and the next day i did nearly everything they did. the mt2 does have bottem out problems and suspension component failures from factory and OEM replacement. i fixed this a week later by ebay ordering aluminum hubs, a-arms, and other steering parts. probably around $100 more
i have the savage x ss 4.6 and the savage xl 5.9 but i also own the mt2 and in my opinion mt2 beats both savage easier to control and runs better at high speed just get the mt2 u wont regret it
Not sure if you purchased one yet or not but for what its worth I have 2 Nitro MT's and they are tough and loads of fun... I advise getting the high performance clutch set which is cheap. It will allow you to have a higher idle without rolling and give you tons more take off power. Also Stock up on dog bones if your going to be doing lots of rough driving. Also you will want to get the forged machined differential gear sets they are much better and last a lot longer. They are very fast too...
I'm in the same situation mt2 or trophy 3.5 and I am going for the trophy after using both I would say the performance and durability is alot better in the 3.5.
Were do you live is it uk? If so you can get it for £219.99 of google shopping.
yeah i agree with masterzun15, the buggy is really low and your chassis will get all scratched up and junk....i have a mt2 and a redcat shockwave i personality lyk the mt2 way better becuz it has that duribility that i think your gonna need if your a beginner and havent really had any tyme to practice with another one ive had my mt2 for.............................about 8 or 9 years now and the only thing i have only had 2 replace is a broken spur gear which was on $10.67 its a tough lil thang!
i have a trophy 3.5 and a mt2 3.0 and honestly i like the tropth better handles better its faster stronger i just think its a all around better rc car
well if u get a mt2 you might aswell get a rush evo cos all that power and only 5 mph faster tell me why also can get a rush evo cheap on ebay like 50-60 quid for a good one then spend like 100 quid getting it so its like new and probaly still get mony left over for customizeation if the rush evo hasent alredy also a mate of mine with his rush evo did this
tranmitter=no battery +no fail safe=brick wall at top speed no damage and hit funy angle but i would say get the 4.6 trophy cos looks good
hey weirdly enough i`m making same desision and am strugling.i was wondering if you made your choice yet ? i was also wondering if anybody knew if the chassis on the mt2 was big enough for the starter box ?
mani have a x ss and it amazing on and off the track just got to get a good stering servo and a 3 speed and nubs tires take out the spacer in the shocks so it sits lower . i race a savage x ss that all decked out and i kill revos with big blocks
do you think sombody will swop their hpi mt2 3.0 for my hpi trophy 3.5? im sick to death with it allways breaking because the weight distubution thing is rubbish it leans to the left on every jump
hi i have a hpi nitro mt2 g3.0 and my cousin has a trophy. the trophy will win in a straight line test. but the mt2 is just better on all terrain and looks just as nice. the price is similar so now its up to you mate :)
i own an mt2 G3.0. they are very good truck fast,light weight, super durability,and must part for traxxas trucks will fit it. the only down fall that i have is if you are going to race it and track does not have an outlaw class then they will most likely put you in monster truck class. no very fun because mon. have less of a turning then the mt2. most mon. are a little faster off the line but in top speed and turning you will beat them ever time.
the trophy is low to the ground ( not so good off road) and it is not as fast, but... it has better handle'n than the mt2! I would say the mt2 because it is higher off the ground and wont hit rocks or anything and it is faster! GO MT2 G3.0
the trophy is a buggy and is a lot heavier so it has to be low to the ground to have an even center weight and it has alot better handling than the MT2
get a trophy i got 1 and i and it gives you loads of fun let me get it running cuz i broke my pullstart and i will send you a video aof what it can achieve. mine beat a mini on a 1/4mile drag strip
if u r starting it is best to get a secondhand nitro coz it is already run in and will leave you with less hassle to get the truck/buggy running and if you buy things secondhand the sellers will usually include parts btw best to get a 2wd for a start
iv its your first nitro car i would get a firestorm instead coz they are only 2wd and when not iv you crash it will cost ya no where near as much to fix and will be alot easier to do yourself and dont forget a failsafe, i got a 4wd buggy to start with and had no failsafe and the reciever batteries ran low and it cost me £120 to fix!
I know it doesnt really answer your question, but if i were you i'd spend up to another £100 and get the HoBao Hyper 7 or even Maverick Stealth XB, MUCH faster, better chassis and very strong engines.
But out of the two, buggys win always so the Trophy
im getting a trophy aswell i think there well popular im buying a cam just to make vids about it lol its a hard 1 that is i got stuck on them 2 but im going for trophy other 1 rolls to much
hi i was loooking at the mt2 then i looked at the trophy so i bought the trophy its the best thing i did if i was you get the trophy its fast nice looking and its strong
i will go for the trophy dog sounds too good for price and the style and thing you get for the price but i am saveing up for a
Apollo AGB29 125CC MAN BUT I DO HAVE A ATOMIC WARHEAD is a good buggy for starters so next year if hpi don't bring out any buggy or trucks or anything i might buy the trophy or i might buy the savage x 4.6 or savage XL
i have a trophy 3.5 you can look on my web page im not bull shitting up have a look at it im getting it out of the box it is the best rc car i have ever got it is so fast. you have got to get 1 they are sick
i went into a professional nitro and parts shop yesterday and they told me that monster trucks flip when you take a corner so i would recommend the hpi trophy (im getting it)its still got everything the monster truck has but it dousnt flip and has better handling!
Get the Nitro Trophy 3.5 it is so FAST!! i got mine today i was bussin but i dont know where to get nitro from under 15% and 25% plz tell me where to get the nitro from thanks..
Forgot to say, the HotBodies GT10 looks awesome, can definitely see the appeal of the extra ground clearance. I sort of wish I'd gone for a truggy now instead of the buggy as you can take them anywhere!!
I have no idea if the GT10 is good, I don't own one. All I'm saying I'd quite like a truggy as buggies sit low and it casues a few issues for me. Truggies are much more useable but buggies have slightly sharper handling, depends what you're after! I don't think you'll be disappointed with whatever you get, but personally I'd go truggy...so a GT10, Rustler VXL or if you have £300 to spend...a Jato 3.3 or Hyper ST.
I don't think there's much in it in terms of speed, both do about 45mph. If you're interested in speed, then why not go for a Traxxas Jato 3.3 or even better, the Bandit or Rustler VXL versions......70 mph!!!
How fast does the Trophy Go. And is the Hot Bodies Lightning GT10 any good, the video makes it looks so fast and durable but is it, It has the same engine as the Firestorm 10t, The G3.0 Engine!
I bought the Trophy a couple of weeks ago. Has plenty of power and lots of fun. Only bad thing is as it's brand new I can't find anywhere that has spare parts yet. Not even the HPI website has a parts lis for this model. Sure that will change soon, luckily I haven't broken anything yet. It is however exactly the same as the Hot Bodies Lighning II.
