M2C NT48 TRUGGY CHASSIS
M2C RACING is pleased to announce the release of the nt48 truggy chassis.
this model uses 7075-T6 aircraft aluminum and clear anodized.
We did our finish testing this past week end at the Physco Nitro blast in
Georgia.
The track was rough by the time we got to the mains, so we knew if can
take the punishment of that track, it could withstand most anything.
Our test driver reported that the chassis performed flawless with no issues.
even after a bad crash in practice.
We have redesigned a few of the pockets to prevent stress points.
the chassis are on the website for pre order and should start shipping
within about 2 weeks
m2c 6575
We have also added (3) mm holes to bolt on up to 2 oz of weight if needed
for looser tracks. part no. m2c 5298

chassis Weight
Weight is about 5 grams heavier due to redesign of a few of the cutouts in the chassis
The weight kit comes in 3 different pcs
1 Oz weight
2 1/2 Oz weights that can be stacked on top of larger weight
Might have to mod the shorter
Rear chassis brace a bit to stack all weights but usually the 1 Oz is sufficient for the looser tracks

Not trying to bring up an old issue but I'm thinking off buying this truggy and was wondering if the spur gear issue is resolved, i know tekno bought out a revised spur but apparently it still suffers from breaking teeth (according to what I've read) is this still the case cheers.

Hello,
The new spur gear is being tested at this time, we are trying to make sure it won't have any issues once released. This means we must put hours upon hours on every spur gear we are testing. I am sorry it's taking a little more time than we anticipated, but I assure you it will be the end all fix for the spur gear issues once released. We are very close to production with the new gear and it should only be weeks away at that point.
Thanks for your patience everyone.

Clutch
I'm running all aluminum Tekno shoes and 2x1.0 springs (gold) and 2x1.1 springs (red). The motor has to rev up pretty good to get the shoes to engage. It happens at the beginning of a run and when accelerating. Coming out of a turn, I can hear the motor revving (a little too much), but the car speed isn't matching. Then, all of a sudden, the shoes catch and the car takes off. The motor has a pop from idle, but the car doesn't. Do I need to replace the shoes and springs or do I need to go with harder springs? Anybody else experience this? I'm new to nitro and everybody is telling me the clutch is too soft. I thought so too until I realized I was running gold and red springs.
When should I replace the shoes and springs (every gallon)? For me, it's hard to tell when the shoes are worn. Never dealt with nitro before.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

use 4 x .9 springs and then change back to 4 x 1.0 for running. And yes all aluminum shoes mushroom out like that and you have to pull it apart and bevel the edge on a
regular basis to keep them from dragging on the flywheel.
There is no easy way to get the diff out, take the 6 screws out from underneath.
One of these will be your best friend for pulling the motor out from the top.

The MIP wrenches are good just to short for this application.

I haven't ran nitro for a while but I always wished the manufacturer's would put holes through the cooling head so we can get straight at the mount screws.
