RC Freaks Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 The 500k cd makes such a difference with the 4 wheel drifting. It's called super for a reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Well well well, ive just bought one of these superb trucks today, im well impressed to be honest, i got it as a roller with no elecs, i spent this afternoon striping the truck down to fit the motor in, while it was appart thought i would try some 500,000 oil in the cd, just to give it a little more kick, i was temped to bung my savy flux box into it which obviously doest have a diff, but settled on giving the oil a go first, i already had it anyway, whacked it all back together with a hobbywing 150amp esc and 2000kv motor combo and charged my 3s lipos up, ive also used the 16 tooth pinion off my savy, just had it out for a blast and i can honestly say i think its a brilliant truck, its by no means underpowered either and was spining all fours for fun on tarmac, its superb fun, motor and esc wasnt getting that hot either, around 35c with the temp gun, totally different to my baja 5b in how it drives, but just as much fun, i walked away with a big grin, lovely. Pics or it didn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the watchman Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Can i just ask you lads a question please, ive fitted into the super 5 a savox 1268sg high volvage servo, its rated at 7.4v to give a nice 25kg's of power, im obviously running 22v through the truck with spektrum radio gear, how can i get the full fat of power out of it as im sure the speky receiver will be knocking it down to 6v which seemed ok power wise but we all know we always need more power right :-) cheers in advance for any help.

It's the ESC that dictates the BEC voltage, not the Rx. Don't run that through the internal BEC. Use an external uBEC, it'll be far better and stop the "brown-outs". Just remember to isolate the red connector on the ESC Rx plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else who had to change the bearings in the centerdiff after about 10 runs? I changed mine to ceramic rubbersealed ones. Seems to hold up fine now. Here is some action pics, and a picture after i removed all the HPI decals on the body: Edited August 3, 2013 by Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you know you had bearing issues? Great action shots! Don't you just love how easily they fly?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you just love how easily they fly?! Ok The shaft holding the spurgear started to become wobbly, so i removed it, and the bearings was totally gone. Yeah they fly great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have been unlucky and had a couple of duff bearings. I had that very recently on a Traxxas diff, killed a brand new crown and pinion.

JoeGT Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I've put so many packs through mine. And the only bearings I've had to replace so far is a back wheel bearing and a bearing on the rear diff. Centre has been spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leo-rcc Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 About 30 packs in and no bearing issues at all. Besides the servo and motor/ESC combo swap it is still pretty much as new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGT Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I can't beleive no one here has not had any issues with the axles. I must of broken six by now lol. A few of them were down to bad landings but I just think they're far too weak! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
