As soon as I can get some of the new cvd's and outdrives i'll give them a whirl alongside some tranchers, mashers and the stockers.

 Them new cvds are not cheap £42 on eBay or $49 on RC will power although I'm in talks to do a bulk buy so I'm hoping to get them down to $38 a pair shipped ;)

I've noticed, factor in the outdrives and it's a £££ upgrade, though somewhat necessary I think.  I wish i'd have upgraded before banana'ing the stockers so I could have at least sold them to part fund.  

 

The RC fund is pitifully low again following the splurge on the boots.  Can you keep me informed re a bulk buy, I may be interested depending on timing, ta.

Cheers bud, I was going to hold off as don't see it getting much use in the immediate future but judging by the tanking pound I might as well get them now.

 Yep I got the new cvds and the outdrive cups to match and these new centre outdrive cups which replace the old thread shaft and cups .. 

 

Just a shame it's now getting dark early and rather wet so runtime is falling right off now lol ..

How do they perform / compare to Proline tyres and are the wheels actually beadlocks or screw just for show?

 

The screws are just for show, and on the 1:10 versions come 'loose' so you can choose to fit them or not, as they add quite a bit of rotating mass.  As for how they run, IDK - still waiting on getting the updated cvd's and cups - cash flow and stock issues.

Hiya, do you lot reckon the MTe shell will fit the Hyper ST pro?

 

Saw this one on eBay -http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hobao-Hyper-MT-Pre-Painted-Body-Shell-/371359423395?hash=item5676bf1ba3:g:2dYAAOSw-vlVh~bx

 

Just wanted a basher shell but not sure if its too big :/ 

 

It'll fit with a little work - here's one on my Hong Nor X1CRT-e.  I've the extended chassis but it's only +5mm from memory - that's a good price, notro holes are nothing a little self adhesize CF effect sheet won't cover.

I like the look of these, but there are 0 and 1/2" offset...  Anybody know if the 1/2" offset is hex further out (so narrower track) or hex further in, so wider track?

Offset means the hex is offset inwards, resulting in a wider track.
