Huktonfonics Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Something tells me they don't but I recently watched an ebay auction (missed it doh) claiming they did. 5 mins job to check Leon, get to it!Been away from the laboratory all weekend, so got back with the cars, put them on, and they fit snug as a bug ! Sorted mine and the missus car out with a set. Oh, and removed those snappy hing pins on the front and back, found out i snapped the rear left one which is why i lost the shaft. Now with steel screws and nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capri-boy Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Ready for a new home New rear diff, housing and bearings in rear uprights otherwise she was hot to trot. Serviced the rear cvj's while they we're out - there nice chunky ones so need to look after them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie666uk Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Oh ok. Sweet. I thought there may have been a base plate for the diff mounts as there's a broken peice of ally on the chassis I've received. First place I've found that has a half decent stock of bits is apex. EBays ok but it's mostly hyper 7 bits. I know not all the 7 bits fit and Im fairly certain the diff mount isn't interchangeable? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie666uk Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Success! The broken part I saw isn't a stock part. It's part of a chassis support brace I've just seen on the cml site. Happy days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie666uk Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 All mechanical parts ordered. Combo and batteries will have to wait till after Christmas I think. Is there anything I really need to upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evssv Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) cnc towers fr / rear and sum ally chassis braces fr / rear if ur gonna bash hard. .... ....possibly cnc hubs if u kill the stock ones. .....took me a while to kill a stock one though...and cvd's all round.....that's all the hyper needs to b almost bullet proof imo. .....but it will brake if abused hard enuff. .like anything ...

cookie666uk Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 8.5 so it has a longer chassis too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie666uk Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Just discovered it has a carbon front plate as well. Carbon servo tray cover as well but this has been butchered by the previous owner with plans of a brushless conversion. Has anyone got a link to the 20mm shocks mentioned in an earlier thread. Only thing I haven't found yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I haven't found yetNot avail new anywhere as far as i'm aware. I may have enough bits in shocks box to build a set but don't think i've got any spare springs. Hong nor big bores (check SMD - they we're on sale) are prob the best (price+performance) new alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie666uk Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I've found a set of rears but not fronts. It has some fairly chunky shocks on there atm. I may leave them for now and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie666uk Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 mp9 shocks fit a treat ! They look sexy... Bit close to the driveshaft? Linky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher 46 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 They look sexy... Bit close to the driveshaft? Linky?Thanks matey , yeah they worked out well , the 8.5 is a great bit of kit only let down by the standard shocks , with these it handles our astro track nicely ! And the shocks are to naughty on the pocket if you buy em in kit form and set them up yourself , abt 80 ish [emoji2] . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher 46 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 The Hoboa shocks are £55 , so 80 for kyosho mp9's don't look so expensive in kit form ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basher 46 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 still haven't got round to doing much with this lil lot yet! Lack of funds and time, but I'll hopefully get a start on it soon ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-boy Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 The Hoboa shocks are £55 , so 80 for kyosho mp9's don't look so expensive in kit form !HN big bores are currently on offer for £40 without springs. Many 1/8 buggy shocks are similar in length. I had Losi 8 (2.0?) on one Hyper - they we're a tad short but made it a demon on the road: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher 46 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 40 quid is great , If I can't afford the mp9 shocks at the time I may go for the HN on the nitro build, very nice bud, where can you pick up the cf towers? Or what buggy lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or what buggy lol.Alas, she came with CF towers on (got car in a packge deal, was too nice to use! cnc chassis,t he works - it sold quick), DMS did do them many moons ago. Should be easy enough to get some made, though you'll need more than that to drop enough weight to get her competitive. CF great on a racer, not for a basher - to easy to break. Should have kept her but had other fish to fry and had a nicely specced basher at the time (now Fletch's) Edited October 31, 2015 by capri-boy edit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher 46 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 That's one very high spec basher ! :)I had no idea they were produced in that spec but I've only been back into cars these past 18 months after 10 years of flying . I have no plans to race the 8.5 really, it's only done a handful of laps at our track , an couple trips to the park , they are a heavy lump in turn makes they one solid basher as we all know :b ,so I was thinking keeping the two for exactly that , I haven't had the time I'd first thought I would have to race at the moment just the odd practice day , but when I do I'm still set on a mugen mbx7 eco , there's a few at the club an their just beautiful , light an I can't resist it lol .

There's rumours around that there's a new one on the cards too, hence some of the discount deals knocking around at the moment. Buyer sank a lot of dollar into that 7, in hindsight I should have swapped the shocks and towers for mine and ran that one... it's only looking back at the pics I realise it had cnc arm braces too. The CNC chassis was the extended version too (there really cheap atm for the 8.5 if you shop around), alas someone at some point couldn't decided on battery tray placement and it had a slight case of woodworm. Been less than a week without a 7 and i'm already regretting selling the last one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
