mydoddy69 Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Glad your enjoying it Jim, to be honest I've ditched the X Maxx and gone back to bashing this instead if the truth be told, it's just a shed load more durable and give me more fun factor as I'm never worried it will break lol .. These new cvds are awesome fella just a pity they've become like chickens teeth to get hold of 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kinda thinking the HPI Trophy ones will fit. Hub bearings are the same size too. Edited September 5, 2016 by dazp1976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I think my MTE is due a new steering rack as it turns better one was than the other when the wheels or on the ground but turn equally when in the air I'm guessing it's worn out?

Devin Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 try tightening the servo saver, mine does that and that was BNIB. It's literally locked down as of now and it's still loose when turning one way so I'm at a loss Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk You might want to try adjusting the servo link and the steering links sounds like you got one or both unequal. How you finding that link fella made much of a difference on turning radius for you ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new link gas improved the turning greatly thanks, I've checked all the links and it's all seems fine, they turn equally when it's in the air but it struggles one way but is normal the other way Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot you've got the beefier ones that need the option diff outdrives for the bigger ball. My bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I can confirm the Mte plus has front only cvds, is that an upgrade over the V1 Mte? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No jim fella they both had front cvds and rear dogs although I think the really early release had dog bones all round but I'm not a 100% sure. Im using the new improved cvds there beefier and stronger but you need new outdrives to use them .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Ahh ok, that was Vas confusing me then, (he's recently done an Mte plus unboxing) mine seem ok I won't upgrade mine until there is a problem, did yours pop out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 I've never had one pop out had them bend and snap and take out the outdrives a few times .. I think Vaz got the very first batch which was made by ofna and for some reason wasn't quite as good as the Hobao version. I was surprised to see he even bothered with the plus if I'm honest as he didn't get on with the the first version at all and after his review he pretty much slated it to anyone that would ask about it ..Maybe it's another freebie ? who knows I dare say he'll still find fault somewhere or other with it ..

NuttyProfessor Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I did bend a CVD, don't know how as I have never jumped it. Blowtorch and some 10w40 might be on the cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick google suggests 29T crown and 9t pinion. MT parts seem to have dried up a little at the breakers, poss as CML have shifted all/most of the stock of the original model.

Yep I have noticed that aswell, I emailed RC Willpower about the lack of of parts and I got this reply Yes, it will back to stock very soon. However, due to Hobao factory's business decision, the price of all Hobao Hyper spare parts will be increased. Thanks! So let's hope that they don't become silly money in the future !
