Alex97 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Stock shells are known for being weak so changing them is inevitable. What cell batteries are people running in their MTe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 Yep very true fella Personally for me I run 5s 20t pinion on a 2200kv motor, plenty quick enough 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eizManster Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 agreed. i've been bashing it around so i can wreck my shell and replace it with a "proper" truck one. waiting for the plus shell to arrive at my lhs. hopefully someone can post some actual photos and their take on it. i would if i see it in person so that you guys could have a look-see. checking that out before i go proline.

Devin Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Lol it's a shell it's replacble easy enough, surely what really counts is what's under it ? The stock MTe shell is a bit marmite but to be honest I didn't buy it for looks and I generally don't buy rc's for looks anyway. I like a pickup shell as you can tell, but it wouldn't be a game changer if it didn't have one Personally for me the best looking shell I've seen on this is the one young Devin has on his [emoji6] I tried a top kick body and it looked all wrong wheelbase was well off and the length is a tad to long The MT plus shell looks okay but I think it's a little toy looking but that might be the paint, out of the 2 personally I like the older one better. Each to his own I guess . Thanks Rich although I do also like the look of yours and what AJ had done to his Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not delayed, there are no issues, it's more a general shipping logistics thing. There will be a Roller version of the Plus and I am expecting to be more or less the same pricing as the current model. Nige. That's great. Will you also carry the upgrade parts?

Freeprawn Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Chassis Brace prototype is being delivered tomorrow. If it's good (it will be lol) I'll get it added to the shop asap. Standard parts and hop ups will hopefully be getting added to the shop this weekend too ;o) Nige. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Perfect timing as I'm hopefully going to beat the snot out of mine over the Easter weekend so I'm bound to bust something ! Will you be carrying the stock in store or will it be supplier stock for parts and hop ups ? Edited March 23, 2016 by mydoddy69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydoddy69 Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Well they showed up this afternoon and are washed and currently drying before gluing up They are super soft so I'm in two minds as to tape them or leave them, think I'll wait until I see your vid fella on the ballooning and go from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Managed a good thrashing of the MTe this afternoon before the rain and have to say this new slipper unit makes a huge difference I'm super happy with it .. The Hobao brace held up just fine and the whole afternoon damage report was ZERO Sadly no footage as my GoPro is currently working its way back for repair Have to say I'm so glad I bought this truck it's an absoulute blast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
