Wrighty8766 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 For a brushless hyper I would recommend thicker than 7k in the centre...more like 15-20k, I use 20k myself and am considering going thicker (I use a spider diff, not sure if it will make a difference to a standard diff)?

sean.b Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Been sorting diffs today mate going 30k in centre changed all bearings today aswell so its now ready for electrics once I've turned the front diff the right way round haha. That will have to wait though as I picked my new car up today so need to pay for that asap so unlesssomething cheap comes up this will be on hold for the next 2-3 months while I get that paid for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veed79 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 My esc came with some double sided tape/foam, but I bought a roll from maplins that worked ok for the rx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean.b Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Right had it out earlier don't know if it's because I was using a half charged lipo but it's not fast enough going to get a 4s next weekend as 2s isn't going to cut it then up the pinion.it handles amazing rear end slides a little in the bends which I find really nice.

Pistonhead Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 4s and a 19t pinion will make it fly, can't get traction with road tyres on above 3/4 throttle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean.b Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) I did notice 19t seems to be the pinion everyone uses I got it from ms as a hyper 7 shell.its the same as the shell on my tq2 nitro thanks guys Edited April 11, 2014 by sean.b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean.b Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Out of interest what would it be like on 4s with the 13t pinion that came with the kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean.b Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) Got a 19t pinion today going to test with the 2s and see where I want to go from there.I don't want silly speeds where it won't grip of the mark but don't want it slow either.also hoping trying it a bit at a time will help me find where the motor and esc is happy don't want to chuck a 19t pinion on 4s and kill it Edited April 11, 2014 by sean.b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 After a full 5000mah 4s pack doing speed runs, the motor is barely warm and the same for the esc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
