ade909 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Hey, will a Hobao hyper 8.5 springs fit the hyper st as I'm looking into getting some orange ones just for cosmetic reasons. Thanks Ade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big turbo Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 They do look like the same diameter but being a buggy there probably going to be shorter. What about some orange shock socks ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade909 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) Socks maybe the way to go, if I can find out if the springs will wont. I remember the hyper st mini had a orange set not sure they would work out for me. Edited April 18, 2014 by ade909 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeybadger Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I imagine the mini st springs are to small and soft for the 8th scale one. I can measure mine tho if you want me to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade909 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Honeybadger if you could That would be awesome, I did read that the orange ones are softer than the gray springs which isn't to much of a problem because my shocks are quite firm. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockhopper Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 The springs support the weight of the car - If they are too "soft" then you'll run out of ground clearance. All the shocks do is controll the natural bounce of the spring (in compression and rebound). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ade909 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 55mm x 18mm Thank you for your time, bad thing is they are to short, as Rockhopper said they would be to soft any way Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockhopper Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Paint your existing springs if its only the colour you are after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade909 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 What type of pain would be durable enough to withstand the constant compression and decompression of the spring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade909 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Would these shock socks fit? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hobao-Hyper-7-5-8-5-9-Star-Shock-Socks-Shock-Sox-/281297640280?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&var=&hash=item417ea55b58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
