Mel Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 This http://www.firelap.com/pdtdesc.asp?pid=A02103337 turned up at my door yesterday morning and it is called a Firelap Nano Dragon, basically it is a complete copy of the Kyosho except it is made out of cheaper bits. one good point is that it comes with a digital transmitter. what im planning to do is completely replace pretty much everything for half8 hop ups and a Mamba (gonna have to find out a bit more about leccy cars before switching to the mamba). Hopefully i should end up with a nice looking half8 without having to fork out at the beginning and hop ups are so cheap it is unbelievable (except for the mamba and batts), well especially compared to the Savvy. i can see why people mod up these little micros . right so that's about it, here are some pics and i will let you know any time something new turns up. order these bits so far MINI INFERNO 3RACING FRONT SWING SHAFTS IN TITANIUM COLOUR MINI INFERNO ATOMIC ALUMINIUM WHEEL HUB ADAPTORS IWAVER ALUM WHEEL SET A -- GUN META for Mini Inferno PROLINE Crime Fighter Tire 4 Kyosho Half 8 Mini Inferno KYOSHO ALUMINIUM SHOCKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingGangGooly Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 What do you think of the standard steering setup? Tried mine in a straight line, no hand on the TX wheel and it ends up veering off to the side. You can actually see the front wheels wobbling...

Mine seems to be ok but i will will be replacing all that anyway so im not too worried, the dog bones at the front kept popping out though but i have ordered up some cvd's so that should sort out that problem. shocks are a bit pants as well so i have brought some Kyosho oil shocks off C0sie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt B Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 One thing - a mamba hasn't gt enough torque for the Half8, you need a different, torquier motor for the half 8, some of them off b-p-p.com work well in the half8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
