Basher 46 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 This is the culprit ! I'll not buy another alturn after buying two new and them having failed on me for no apparent reason no matter how cheap especially when you can pick up those savox servos at that price [emoji2] .

J.K Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Thanks mate [emoji2] I'm a frequent user of fb so I'll look for the guys,hopefully they shall come in handy once I get the build going I'd start on it now if it wasn't for having no funds for rc lol , I have a little list In mind so as soon as funds are available I'll be set to go , I can't wait I haven't had any nitro action since selling my Hpi xl earlier this year an the 5.9 motor on that was notorious pig at times ,till it was sealed , it received a lot of bad press for sloppy running and little power but once sealed and retuned I had it wheeling and hitting third gear every time ! , with a bit on the hs needle to spare ,so I'm looking forward to having a play with a play with the nitro again . This is our track today [emoji18]That's a cool track! Looks like you might need a boat though!Here's ours, plenty of choice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrighty8766 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I have the savox 1256tg in my hyper 7 and it is flawless, very quick with plenty of torque and even keeps the precision at 100+mph, well worth the £50 IMO. i have the 0254 in my st and it's a bit weak in there but will do the job just for bashing, it struggles to turn the wheels when stationary but is ok when in motion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie666uk Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Quick question guys. I'm having a bit of a problem finding out what particular chassis I have for the 8.5There are several different lengths and I was wondering if there were any distinguishing features between the different part numbers. I notice mine has f2 r2 machined into the chassis where the engine would have sat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the only things longer chassis effects are centre dog bone lengths. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputnik Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Quick question guys. I'm having a bit of a problem finding out what particular chassis I have for the 8.5There are several different lengths and I was wondering if there were any distinguishing features between the different part numbers. I notice mine has f2 r2 machined into the chassis where the engine would have sat.+4mm .... extended 2mm in fr[ont] and 2mm in r[ear] FR2 / R2 ... IIRC the 8.5 standard chassis were all that way? The first 8.0 of which I had a couple - one had to get an upgraded version to get the FR/R2 extended. However; upon release of the 8.5 - it was standard. Or something like that.http://www.nitrohouse.com/Chassis-7075-Cnc-H8-Fr2_p_6345.htmlhttp://www.eofna.com/Chassis-7075-Cnc-H8-Fr2_p_6345.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie666uk Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Cool. I have the correct length dogbones but it also affects the three peice rear chassis brace as well. The base plate is broken on mine as the previous owner decided it needed washers underneath causing it to snap. Cheers for the help guys!

Basher 46 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 From what I gather the hyper 7 is a great basher , with this vs I think it's more race ready, lots of carbon on it should make it lighter for the track but less durable for the basher .

evssv Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) They should do a pure basher one. ..and a racer One. ....because carbon has no place on a basher...anywhere imo Edited November 12, 2015 by evssv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post J.K Posted November 13, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2015 Congratulations for being the first MSUK member to convert a leccy back to nitro - there's still hope for the screamers yet! Thank you 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher 46 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Cheers James , I must say I'll still run brushless in the future , but I'm itching at the moment for a bit of nitro action and thought it's easier to waterproof a nitro for these long winter months , picco 3tz should be on its way in a couple weeks [emoji2] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.K Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Yeah that's fair, I always thought i'd never run leccy - now I have 2 nitro and 2 brushless! They both have their pro's and cons 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher 46 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 True that , I can't see that last pic James dunno why ? Yes I mean there pro's an con's in everything it's how you use those your own advantage[emoji2]. leccy is great if you're haven't the time , less maintenance , consistent power , reliable ect .But tbh I miss the tinkering the most part , noise +smell.I was reading a few old nitro threads on here the other night and thought yes that's it that's what I need again lol .

J.K Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 There's nothing better than hitting the sweet spot when tuning your nitro - if done right it'll fly and be a lot more satisfying than plug & play 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
