ravenguard Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) well seen and heard about these ,i no what you all think but after i quick look over its not that bad, arms are crap (so ill find others to fit) wheels will be changed. front alloy tower is soft rear tower need to be stronger gearing is fine ,also metal gears but all in all much better than the xcr time to start maken stainless steel parts Edited April 9, 2012 by ravenguard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravenguard Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Some hop ups here http://jthornley12.w.../apps/webstore/ i wouldnt fit alloy to it, ill try other make arms first, arms are made from a hard plastic so easy to brake . so far it looks like baja top arms will fit,same ive just give all my spares away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoka Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Neither the top or lower front arms from the Baja will fit. They're wider than the Yama's so the stock hinge pins aren't the correct size. Check my post out from the other day, including a few pictures of the differences between the Yama & HPI arms ; http://www.rclargescale.com/forum/general-large-scale/6589-yama-buggy-repairs-upgrades-mods-anything-else-27.html#post57223 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoka Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 thats a great help mate,1 thing,why didnt you use the bajas ball end instead of the yama rose joint? Ill have a look at xcr tops as they are stronger than yamas ,also look at fg bits I got the arms 2nd hand from one of the techs at my LHS just to see if they would fit and he must have took the HPI rose joint out. I presume if you buy the set new, the lower arm comes with the joint pre-installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
