Gavster29 Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 OK guys, I need some pics! Show me how you modded the Losi 8ight tray to fit the hyper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavster29 Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 Spur and pinion all set, my XT90s turned up today but didn't get a chance to solder them up, I'll need to sort out ESC mount next and decide position of the receiver and antenna mount.Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mods needed, you need the U shaped motor mount plate used for mounting nitro. Edited August 11, 2017 by locky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evssv Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 the losi8e tray has a esc mount at the end of it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavster29 Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 Ok so any pics? It seems a little long but I'm guessing I need the engine mount, any pics of that? Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locky Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 You will need to trim a bit of the ESC tray so it clears rear arm, that's all as far as I remember. All my pics not available due to photobucket changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertberr Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I didn't use the u shape nitro mount with mine (losi8 tray), and you just need to trim a small amount off the end of the ESC ledge, and depending what angle you want it in relation to the centre line of the buggy, a small amount out of the left hand chassis side guard to let the front left corner of the tray to sit down flat. fits a treat then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavster29 Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 As much as I like Tapatalk it's a PITA when using links on the phone! Anyway just had a look and I think I can see a mount under the tray, given I picked up a roller I might have to make something insteadSent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locky Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 It's a phone afterall...https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/10538/ U shaped plate screws to chassis, the screw points on the losi tray then line up with the slots in the plate, the front screw point on the tray lines up with an existing hole in he chassis, just a suitable screw and nut with spacer needed. Easy to make own with right tools and time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavster29 Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 It's not a bad shout! Wonder if I can find a local hobby shop with one in stock?Ok so a little more done, I had a Traxxas Rustler which I've taken a few bits off already, figured the receiver box would be perfect, A) it is waterproof and means I can use a standard receiver and it tidied up the wires.Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavster29 Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 tempted to do a 'holy thread resurrection' on that Hyper thread...[emoji3] Lol yes I did do some searches before but for some reason I can't find all these good juicy bits of information, although on the thread it doesn't actually talk about the u mount....Anyway I went and ordered a mount, but as usual I thought I'm paying almost half again on postage so ordered a CNC front brace as well, I will repurpose the current brace to mount to the center diff.I've come this far but now I'm getting impatient and just want to run it!

bertberr Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I didn't use the mounting plate, mines drilled through chassis in two places (countersunk) and the losi tray secured with two countersunk m4 bolts from underneath with locknuts. Plate may be better option, don't know, but my tray is rock solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
