cookie666uk Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 22 83 works well for me. I've got a 21 pinion as well in case I fancy some extra wheelies or need to lower the temps a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 22/83 is fine for 2S, you shouldn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derka Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I've still got the stock pinion on. Might look into getting a few more with more teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie666uk Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Depends on surface though. Mine was getting a bit too warm for comfort on short grass and hot sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derka Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I've fitted the arms. All good. Not uploaded pictures but will do tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostewart Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I have the ESE front arms as the RPM have to have the RPM bulkhead part, I have the HPI aluminium bulkhead. ESE are a big upgrade over stock, As are RPM, as I use those on the rear, I changed my shock oil to 35 front, 25 rear with the proline pro-spec shocks with medium pistons, I was flying round the track keeping up with the faster guys and also lead the pack for a while in one of the finals. Now I just need to be more consistent and less small mistakes, I even got a fastest lap of the final in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derka Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I'll upload my pictures of the front arm swap.I was going to swap the rear arms around to extend the wheelbase slightly but noticed I had a lot of wear on the diff out drives!

cookie666uk Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 What upgrades do others run as my outdrives are wearing pretty quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Best Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 What upgrades do others run as my outdrives are wearing pretty quickly Same.I just replaced mine after 3 weeks of only bashing on the weekend! They are quite expensive too.As far as I can see the only upgrades are MIP ball diffs which come with steel alloy diff outputs.Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie666uk Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I like my geared diff though. Aren't ball diffs more for racing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Best Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I like my geared diff though. Aren't ball diffs more for racing?Yes they are and they are not as tough as a gear diff. More maintenance involved too.Shame there isn't a gear diff version or just simply better outdrives!Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie666uk Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I'll probably just buy more stock ones and heat treat them myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Best Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I'll probably just buy more stock ones and heat treat them myself. I tried that.You need to be careful with heat treating because hpi say they are heat treated already so it might make them crackSent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
