Samuran Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) I'd like to think so, the seller told me it's a year old but obviously I don't know where he got it from and how long it might have been in a shop before selling. As long as it's splash proof I'm not too worried And now it looks as tho tomorrow wont be first play as my brothers just told me the fuel he has is 25% not 20%.... or will running the trophy on 25% not cause a massive problem on for a tank / maybe 2?

mugen mark Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 run it on 25% all the time,it wont harm it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuran Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 The only reason I ask is that, the previous owner ran it on 20% and that's what it was run in on and tuned on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QRC Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 If you are going to run on the 25%, put the needles back to factory and a quick re tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuran Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Well yeah I'm pretty chuffed. Ended up re tuning with my brother.. altho as he admits it's probably rubbish lol I have now found a problem tho. Need a new steering servo, after about 15 minutes of pratting about the steering locked full right... it had slipped on the servo, pretty sure that the teeth are rounded out... any good suggestions for a replacement?

Smoothybb Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 it had slipped on the servo, pretty sure that the teeth are rounded out... any good suggestions for a replacement? Check it's the teeth on the servo and not the horn, the servo horns frequently strip before the servo does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deafty Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Looking into this more I'm not really sure what version this is.. As far as I can tell there are 3 HPI versions. http://www.hpiracing.co.uk/piw.php?partNo=10508 http://www.hpiracing.co.uk/piw.php?partNo=101704 http://www.hpiracing.co.uk/piw.php?partNo=107012 It's almost like mine has the shell and shocks from the 1st version (10508) and then the rest is more like the other two. It has the orange anodised parts and water proof air filter etc... Don't suppose it really matters tho. First proper play is going to be tomorrow. Good news is the older versions esp the Hotbodies parts are actually better. HPI changed their metal manufacturing process a couple of years ago and sadly for the worse. The shock caps you have are rare! Note that all the alu parts from HPI now come in either 6061 alu or 7075 so keep that in mind when shopping Seriously consider getting the alu front brace though. Edit: Oh and replace that airfilter! It's airproof as well as water proof HPi changed their website recently and intergrated the Hotbodies one which contained all the decent discontinued part numbers. However you can no longer view em! boo to HPI! Edited March 3, 2014 by Deafty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the bit you mean? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HPI-TROPHY-3-5-BUGGY-2-4GHz-101770-ALUM-FRONT-CHASSIS-ANTI-BENDING-ROD-TROPHY-SE-/380852986484?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item58ac9b6274 And do you have a recommended replacement airfilter? I'd want it to be splash / water proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
