vandalbulldog Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Hi pal. I have brand new rears but need the front ones and can't find them on their own!!! Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeybadger Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Ah fair enough, I didn't read your post properly. Might be worth asking one of the sellers on there if they will just do what you need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubberz Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I got a set of Hong Nor threaded shocks for 35 off eBay, big difference from the tq2 shocks. Sent from my HTC one using my thumbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubberz Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Guys, what's the best shock towers? Am I right in thinking it's the PBS ones? My rear one bent on me twice today, I'm thinking after bending it back twice the third time is good night!

papasmurf Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I would say hyper ST or SS Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubberz Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I would say hyper ST or SS Rob I think that's the fella I've seen before! Shall order one after my replacement comes and eventually breaks aswell! Must say though it is pretty tough and the initial bent tower was thanks to far too much throttle and landing upside down from about 6ft!

Dubberz Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Managed to get hold of a JConcepts body for my brushless! Quite surprised as they are rare! Hopefully look something like this when done : Sent from my HTC one using my thumbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh2 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Hi all, I'm leaning towards getting a 7 or SS for my first car (will be bashing for now in local parks/heaths). I know Pappasmurf thought it was probably worth going for the 7 and saving money, but was just wondering if there are any contrary views, and if so, why? Also, for both 7 and SS they seem to do two models, a .21 3 port and .28 6 port, e.g.:http://www.modelsport.co.uk/hobao-hyper-ss-.21-race-3-port-rtr-white/rc-car-products/370438http://www.modelsport.co.uk/hobao-hyper-ss-machstar-28-6-port-rtr-black/rc-car-products/370439 From what I've learnt so far, the .21 version would be more zippy although does the fact the .28 have a 6 port make that more akin to the .21 as well? Does anyone have any advice as to which one to go for? Thanks, Josh Edited June 23, 2014 by josh2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubberz Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Hi Josh, Where you gonna be running? Track? Sent from my HTC one using my thumbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh2 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 At the moment, I'll be bashing in parks/heaths, rather than track racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubberz Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I would go for the 28 then. I reckon it will have better top end speed if that's what your looking for? Sent from my HTC one using my thumbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh2 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) As opposed to the .21 that would have better acceleration? Is that the essential difference if so? Edited June 23, 2014 by josh2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickturnip Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 no the 21 has better top end speed the 28 has better acceleration 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh2 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Out of interest would a tuned pipe improve the acceleration of the .21 or just boost the existing power curve? Edited June 24, 2014 by josh2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurf Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 What would a rebuild with new piston, liner, crank & block .21 engine be worth ?? Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris200 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Has anyone tried an STS 0.30 in a buggy ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoothybb Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Out of interest would a tuned pipe improve the acceleration of the .21 or just boost the existing power curve? They can affect the power curve depending on what you fit. Have a look into the JP range of pipes, 1-4 all produce differing improvements from low down to top-end to an improved curve throughout.

J C Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Bought this hyper 7 off ebay about a month ago. Fully stripped and rebuilt it with titanium screw kit, big bore shocks, carbon fibre parts, savox 1256 servo, losi 8 battery tray, alloy chassis braces and filled diffs with oil. Running 2300kv thrust motor on 4s, debating getting a Castle MM and trying 6s 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubberz Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Tidied up the brushless with a Losi tray Also popped on my new Mini Pins for down at NDOR [emoji109] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurf Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Just had my first hands on with my brushless hyper & WOW is all I can say. I really don't see the point in nitro anymore lol Just one question.... How warm/hot should the motor get? I don't have a temp gun but can keep hold of the motor for 7-10 seconds before I need to let go. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubberz Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 That sounds fine mate, I think the max is 180f on my 2300. What pinion you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
