andyknight Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Just replaced a hostile boot using the fast eddy tool. What a difference in ease of fitting combined with a bit of grease!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatout! Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Show me that tool andy? Please pal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyknight Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 It's the fast eddy dogbone installer tool. Got it from mmr eBay store. A lot of money for what it is but I got a boot on in 30 seconds rather than struggling with a pair of pliers for 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(-:AD:-) Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 The trick is to turn the boot in side out and put a small amount of grease on the inside of the boot. Then flip it back over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(-:AD:-) Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Kraken? Don't you mean hemistorm/hemiboots? There no good if you run bigger cups such as uber ball drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatout! Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Grey hostiles is the way to go ant, your going to need the ball drives soon with running that obr donkey, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyknight Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 I found that hostile boots just touch my kraken lower arms when the shocks are at max extension causing them to split after a while. I've adjusted the camber slightly to raise the axle cups up slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatout! Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 True that andy, stop the shock fully extending, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyknight Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 True that andy, stop the shock fully extending, Already fitted and makes no difference. Got killer rc limiters all round. They stop the shocks over extending, not for stopping them from extending all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyknight Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) 2 degree at the moment, seems to work well for me. Got holiday to pay for so no spending at the moment :-( Just finished doing the nut and bolt mod on both rear wheels. These tyres are not coming loose again like one did the other weekend.

andyknight Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) I'm still running my pro-line trenchers. They've taken some good abuse and are wearing really well combined with the zero growths (which weigh sooo much), but I need something with a bit more bite in the tread where we race, bearing in mind I run front wheels all round so lose out on a bit of tread width.

andyknight Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Just spent 30 mins wrestling hard hostile mxt's onto the rear wheels of my 5sc. what a bitch, they better be worth it. doesn't look like I'll have an opportunity to try them out until I get back from Italy :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
