Hey, Jon...ran the Mi2 at the JGTC event in mod this weekend. It ran pretty strong even with the HPI body. Just needs a little fine tuning and I'll be giving you guys a run for money :-)

I'd say the body will help a ton. Get a Mazda or something normal on the car and that'll give you a better idea of how well the car's going to handle. How'd everyone feel about the bodies in general at the race? What body did you end up running? I had bought and painted up a Skyline for the race that is sitting here and will probably never see a race track. Waist of $25.

PW, Adrian, Jon, or anyone else, is there a low friction front drive belt for the Mi2?

King-G

the Grey ultraflex is the low friction belt....

I personally use the R12 front belt...nice and durable...and plenty free.

I use the R12 front belt as well. I have since I got the car. Before I started running it Donny had some trouble with the Grey belts and I didn't want to repeat them. But that's also running Mod. I think the Grey one should be fine if you're running stock or 19 turn.

Like I said, planning on running brushless, so it will be stressed.

Gary - If you are talking Reedy or Novak brushless neither motor is as powerful as the 7-8 turn brushed motors we are running now. If you are talking Hacker or Lehner you can get more powerful motors but you wont be able to fit the speedo in the car...lol!

im puttin either hacker or plettenberg brushless in my car eith with a master comp controller or a u force 75, (bye bye mr novak ss5800) whats the biggest 64 pitch spur gear you can put in these cars

I believe the biggest spur you can fit is a 124 tooth.

tuil21

hmm i have a 125 on it right now or maybe you was thinkin of 48 pitch?

MattW

The difference in diameter for the odd tooth is next to nothing, and there could be variations between different manufactures. i.e generally machined gears have a smaller overall diameter for teh same number of teeth when compared to moulded gears.

tuil21

oh, i have RR plastic spur on my car

I've got a 128 64 pitch on my car right now and it's fine. it's close, but it's fine.
