that new era kit looks great but what could I do about the throttle linkage most .21's are slide carbs the mt2 is set up to be a rotary?

Considering the fact that the MT2's driveline can barely handle a .18 I would think long and hard before putting a .21 in. So as long as you've got lots of money for drive train parts, or just want to use the truck for speed runs only, go for it.
