.AJ. Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Fitted the "Mildly quicker than before diff case" that went in with no issues, I found the diff to be completely empty, so that was filled up with 10k as recommended by OHO, I tried to fit the PCSC and it doesn't work with the HPI's Flux set up, the spur gear sits out to far and the pinion doesn't reach properly, so that's being sent back as the description on MS says it will fit, HPI's website says the opposite....

Noj Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Weird. I ignore HPIs suggested collar and shim set up for the PCSC and got mine on.... I wonder if the fitted flux conversion kit differs to the previous, stand alone offering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 I had a quick look at the parts numbers and the Flux has a different topshaft to the normal gasser and it appears to be shorter, so spur on the Flux version sits closer to the gearbox Im not bothered really, MS have offered a full refund and will also pay the return postage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Standard top shaft http://www.hpiracing.com/en/part/86630 Vs. the Flux version http://www.hpiracing.com/en/part/108721 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 Typical..... i sold a Losi 901T servo to H the other day and now the steering servo in this is playing up, oh well gives me a chance to try one of these out... https://www.freeprawnracing.co.uk/k-power-dm4000-servo-0.11-54kg.html I would go for a Hitec D840WP, but I'm unsure if it will actually fit because the lower case is deeper than most 1/5 servos, I could take the one I have out of the 5ive and try it, but I can't be arsed tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(-:AD:-) Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Not seen them servos before... they look good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrighty8766 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 They are the same as the standard KM servos IIRC, or they are the company that make the KM servos....or something along those lines 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 Well spotted, they certainly look very similar http://www.rcmodelz.co.uk/steering-throttle-servo-45kgs.html Are they any good?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrighty8766 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Honestly I couldn't tell you, I know people have had good experiences with the stock KM ones so surely the K Power ones will be superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 I'll have a dig about and email K Power to see if they are the same servo or if the KM one is built down to a price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Abbots have stock, but I know that's a bit of a sore point and frankly don't blame you. With regards to servos, I've honestly had more luck with KM than any other servo, I've run many of them in various things, with so far, only one failing. Had more Savox, Hitec and HPI break tbh. Be interesting to see how long those Vipers last with instant brushless power. I was rather displeased with the life of mine, even with a stock engine.

Noj Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Zero growth foams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 41 minutes ago, Noj said: Zero growth foams? If this is to me, then no, the whole point of buying them is for the fact they are a zero growth tyre... They still wore pretty quickly, I've had 3 sets now, one set was to try them when they were released, which stupidly, I used on pretty hard and sandy ground, so I blamed that for the wear, the others I bought second hand, so kinda blamed that for the wear 'maybe they were a bit more worn than I thought' but I have some brand new ones now which have only been used on quite thick grass and soft ground and they've worn pretty quick. I also have some copy ones, which aren't a direct copy, but similar in style, shorter spikes though with more of them, they are 19quid a pair and haven't worn much at all, with more use, on the same hard sandy ground the Vipers wore badly on In short, when they're totally worn, I'll switch to MX and Mini MX and won't be buying anymore.

.AJ. Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 I'll only be running the vipers on grass and my understanding is that at some point they upgraded them to a harder compound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I wasn't aware of the compound ever changing, who told you that? I'm only curious to know when it happened... Mine are a fairly recent purchase, but the wear rate has been roughly the same so I'm pretty sure mine are the same. I'll just ask Mark directly if the compound is changed.
