Brandon Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 You got some really good deals! I got my wr8 for £200 with 2 shells. Your plans are good! How comes you want a new combo? Do you want a more powerful combo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Took the wr8 out after work today. Quite dark but I thighs I'd show it anyway. Also started to loose radio reception so need to sort that out. https://vimeo.com/152893841 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valandis91 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 So what's the verdict with Powerstroke Shocks vs the HPI Aluminium Upgrade option? Which is better for a car that will only see the race circuit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotshot888 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 The Powerstrokes are great shocks, especially for the rough stuff. However the front PSs are too long to fit all the possible set up lengths. So for a track I'm going to vote HPI, at least up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my thought as well! installed them last night and the difference is chalk and cheese compared to the piggyback integy ones. It's glued to the Tarmac and handles beautifully and predictably. Time to enter some races!!! will add some photos in future of my set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotshot888 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Glad to hear it. Been thinking of picking up a set of the HPIs (for the front end only) for on road this Summer. Just for convenience mind you, had her pretty diaed for ashphalt last Summer with the PSs. Going to stick with the PSs in back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valandis91 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Next question is what is the best tyre for the track in the wet? I normally run slicks but that doesn't help in the wet obviously and I am assuming our tyre choices are slim... Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Have you tried the V-super radial tyres? I haven't tried them but they seem good what parts do I need for me to have adjustable camber? I can't remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valandis91 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Nope would you happen to have a link at all? Got some more footage yesterday at another track here. The other car on the circuit is a 1/5th FG Evo! The car is handling nicely now. just need a new spur gear for that back straight. should I go for the 40t, 42t or 44t judging from that video?

Brandon Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Went full throttle for fun I haven't been able to get close to full throttle because of the tyres ballooning like crazy. my next set will be taped on the inside to prevent ballooning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotshot888 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 HPI used to offer belted slicks for the SRS4... They turn up once in a while on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
