Huktonfonics Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I just put the stiffest shocks i could find aswell, and slapped the ground like a brick. I just gunned it on 6s and it took off. Wouldnt of been so bad if it went a couple more feet forward than up, would of hit grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insight101 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Shell was from Banggood.com £4.82 inc postage!!!http://www.banggood.com/HOBIBA-18-2_4G-Brushless-Off-Road-Car-Canopy-VR-08001-A-p-972591.htmlmain difference is the side rails need work as shell is slimmer than the 7 TQ original, front need slight trimming around shock tower.Is there any slimmer rails that fit the 7 as I heated and formed the original ones to fit.I am using a Turnigy TGY-615BL Brushless servo 12Kg /0.08sec is anyone else using one of these (very good speed and centering) . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yh, though they need a little mod to work - mugen ones - from either an mbx6 or 7 - though which exact one I couldn't say (there's been multiple varients of those buggies and I don't know if the rails changed). I had some fitted to a tatty 7 I bought for the good brushless system in it - came with a proline bulldog shell fitted (which I hated as cab forward).

cookie666uk Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Just become the proud owner of an 8.5 chassis. No wheels or electrics but it does have spyder diffs all round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-boy Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Just become the proud owner of an 8.5 chassis. No wheels or electrics but it does have spyder diffs all roundAwesome - does it have the big 20mm shocks too? It's a shame the 8.5 uses different gearbox housings than the 7 or they'd be much more popular. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie666uk Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 What's the choice in brushless conversion kits for the Hyper 8? I'm struggling to find one for it tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie666uk Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Right. Had a good look around it this morning while the Mrs is at work. (she doesn't know about this one yet(number 9)) Front and rear ends seem to be all present and correct although there's a big gap in the middle. Aside from the obvious (battery tray and rx box) what is missing from this?I notice what looks like a centre diff plate has snapped. Any clues as to what I need would be most appreciated as at the minute I have know idea what should be there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd start with a 17t for 4S myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
