GorillaZilla Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Ello :-) I'm interested now, As I'm still exploring different setups and layouts on my Hyper ST. Its only a RTR version though.... Need to find someone selling a box of bits or "almost a Roller" cheap to upgrade it to Pro spec.... Currently a dual battery layout, Separate battery box either side of the rear driveshaft, I'll Upload pictures when I'm not Le-tired X-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodgemonkey Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 Hey there dude Unfortunately I don't have any spare pro parts! Great cars though and mine hasn't let me down except for the tyres, think I might try 60-100-10 and see how it goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyllewellyn Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 hey nos thats the only problem that i have is front tyre's ripping themselves to bits a set of badlands a set of crime-fighters and a set of grinders at nearly £70 a set it gets quite expensive although my lhs has a set of bowties in the bargain bucket and i have a set of hpi trophy-truggy wheels what spur pinion are you running, i have a 16t pinion and 47 spur and the front end will not stay down think i will go back to the 52 spur and turn down the punch on my mamba very impressed with the durability of these trucks cheers andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodgemonkey Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) 18/48 on 4S. Given up trying to even get the power down on 6S, would wheelie at about 40 on Tarmac with buggy front wheels and the batteries strapped to the front, car slammed so much it had about 2mm of clearance! Thinking of riveting the tyres to the plastic lol My timing is on 0 and punch only effects the throttle control for about 3 seconds. Very happy with how the truck handles though, got 2 degrees negative camber front and 1 degree rear. Very easy to turn at low speeds with throttle, great steering too considering the servo ain't all that Edited October 4, 2011 by nosmonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorillaZilla Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) RC tires ballooning always seem to be a problem in these high power setups, no one seems to make RC tires like 1/1 Scale tires with belting moulded into the rubber, their all just pure plain rubber.... When you say Belting, Do you mean Gorilla Taping the insides of the tire? Edited October 5, 2011 by GorillaZilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReggieC Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Touring car tyres have belting built into them, i dont see why off roads don't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 The IMEX Jumbo tyres I have on Truckzilla have built in belting. 3 thick ribs running right round the tyre. It's just a question of the manufacturers modifying the mould design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a question of the manufacturers modifying the mould design. I have ribs on my mental tyres...shame they seem to do nothing...ive torn 3 of them to bits...ive tried to belt them but it wont stick or if it does it seems not to work well enough. there is a market out there for a large scale tyre that has a strong sidewall to prevent balooning i'd say Edited October 5, 2011 by barnetbasher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norv Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 evening all, good thread, I just built my ST Pro conversion, it has cc 2200Kv motor, xerun 150A esc and so far im running on 4s (2x HPI 5300 30c 2s, 1x Losi 5000 25c 4s ) i have some 6s turnigy 50c's incoming and want to know what pinion would be sensible, curently using a 15t pinion and standard 52t spur, so far motor is not getting hot at all and neither are batts or esc when running up and down street. I may strugle to gear up much more without reducing the size of the spur as im right into the edge of the motor mount also i dont seem to have a great deal of punch with the system. wheelies dont seem to easy, should this thing be more..... sporty on 4s?

bodgemonkey Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 My car was quite controllable running 16/52. 18/48 I'm running now and it's just ****ing mental wheelies at most speeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norv Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 anyone have a link to a 48t spur for the standard ST Pro diff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodgemonkey Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Running faultless as usual, haven't broken a thing on this car.....witchcraft! Actually that's a lie, I've had to replace a shock o ring Been practicing jumps with this, it's just so orgasmically well balanced!!! Managed to land on top of Chris' Kyosho truck and have a nice battlescar to prove it, and I'll upload a vid in a bit of us jumping the cars off of trees, had some far better ones but they were with fully charged battery packs!

bodgemonkey Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) Jesus this thing just refuses to die Was running at grovelands today, all going well, usual wheelies etc. some speed runs down the Tarmac, had to turn the ABS on as it was very wet. 1st run I did was without ABS, went to steer away from me and brakes, wheels locked up and slid into my shin, nice biiig bruise Then I drove it into a foot deep puddle Where it got stuck for half a minute, abd had some nasty crashes.....and the total damage was absolutely nothing Stripped it all down as usual and cleaned it all up. Fitted a new wind on as the white one was grubby. Hyper ST Pro, y u no break Edited March 17, 2012 by nosmonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodgemonkey Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Sorted the ESC out so that's all good. Some pictures with the new wing (ignore the mismatched wheels, i managed to strip the hexes on one of the bow-ties) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodgemonkey Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 Nice bash at Grovelands today, ran 4 packs through her. Nothing broke, although I did have a few nasty accidents ( Clipped a cast iron park bench at about 25, no damage) Big shout to Barnetbasher for helping to sort out the total pain in the arse of a servo saver, stupidly high spring rate servo spring, the design of it could definatley be easier. Also bought some truggy badlands mounted on JConcepts Rulux wheels from him, rebuilt the shocks and gave it a clean after it was viciously raped by everyone's RCs Looking pretty badass now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
