mydoddy69 Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 I went with the newer upgraded cvds up front there much stronger than the stock ones even the stock cvds bend on the rear best to get the new upgraded ones all round but your have to swap out the outdrives on the diffs at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladocbr Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 No big jumps and etc. Geometry is a perfect. Mydoddy69 which is this newer cvds and what do you mean for diffs? What the difference between this http://www.cmldistribution.co.uk/product/HOP-0083/hobao-mt-front-rear-cvd and this http://www.cmldistribution.co.uk/product/HOP-0083N/hobao-hyper-mt-plus-front-rear-cvd-pr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladocbr Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Thanks. I will change it and hope they much stronger. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladocbr Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) Hi. I'm still not purchase the CVD,s but found another solution. The centre driveshaft on HPI Trophy truggy is same size as the MT rear dogbones. They are little thick 4.2mm (hobao 4.0) and really stronger. After few runs they look great. Here in Bulgaria they cost only 11£. Edited September 1, 2017 by Vladocbr 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vr5fx Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Anyone know if you can get stronger bulkheads for these? (Hyper #94004) I've smashed the one at the front 4 times now, after trying to send mine to the moon. While I'm waiting for spares to turn up, I've done some slight modding, and managed to fit a 1717 in her. Need another selection of pinions though, as I'm thinking it will want something around the 25t mark. Should be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be one in those spares it came with ? failing that you could try adding some fibreglass car body filler to the weak areas maybe Just out of interest how's that Chassis holding up ?

Bulkhead brace. WHAT? Just to confirm, it's the diff housing that holds the shock tower that snaps all the time, just took a look and I don't think there is enough room for any type of brace. I'll have a rummage and see if I can find it. I think the back has one, but not the front IIRC, will find out later. Parts turned up today, so that's a bonus. As far as I know the chassis is fine, I'll strip it right down and compare it to a new chassis that I've had for ages.

Its a front shock tower stiffener but I think it's meant to stop those cases from breaking but I never fitted http://www.rc-willpower.com/Cart/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=34905 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it sits against the chassis/steering holder, and stops it from bending back. I'll get it installed and see if it makes any difference, though, won't find out any time soon. I've always looks at that part and gone... "The hell this for?" Edited September 4, 2017 by Vr5fx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vr5fx Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 (edited) I checked out the chassis after stripping it right down. the only difference I can see with it next to the new is that the front and rear is bent up slightly more than stock. Not bad for the amount of abuse it gets lol Edited September 6, 2017 by Vr5fx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vr5fx Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Ran it with the 1717 in today and a 25t pinion. To start with, after looking at the state of my old pinion, I backed the slipper off by 1/4 a turn, but that ended up slipping far too much, so wound it back up. It will double and even triple backflip from stand still, it will self right (albeit, it ended the day for it as the tyre came off the rim, and snapped a bolt on the upper suspension) I can't get to max throttle on 5 or 6s, as the nose just lifts, and that's game over.... I'm going to make a back bar, and try to get a speed run out of it next week. Then I might drop the gearing down, or put the old motor back in. We shall seeee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tt3az Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 They should have mounted a center diff on the MT. I really don't see any benefit with a transmission in this day and age. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't see any benefit with a transmission in this day and age. Tranny is definitely better imo. Makes it easier on it when pulling off from standstill. Takes a lot more force to pull off with a CD in and thus heats up the motor pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
