DomP Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Help me out folks, I'm looking for 4s or 2× 2s lipos for my quicrun wp8bl150, I'm struggling to find them that fit the vs tray. Ideally as cheap as possible with good run times, I was thinking 5000mah + Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 i use these in my VS https://www.modelsport.co.uk/overlander-5300mah-2s-7-4v-55c-lipo-battery-in-hard-case/rc-car-products/407810 and they fit the tray with no mod to it 🍻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomP Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to use just a 4s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 probably if they are in stock but i do use 2s in other cars as well 🍻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickC Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Views;?? Looks like really really well made parts, I've spent a lot of money on my hyper but £54 delivered, I'd probably buy a set if it didn't have the text Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's made to spring a little on impact instead of bending. These are made on a 100 thousand pound machine. There are no tougher braces in existence. I'm just wondering if they are needed with my 7075 chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little works of art, however, just be aware that due to the machining, you will need shorter screws to attach them to the chassis, as (I’m guessing) due to the lower profile design, the original screws will bottom out in the brace before they’re tightSent from my Snosberry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this is true. All braces will come with the shorter screws now. Gonna order me some very soon, they look really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yrkoon Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) just bought the blue vse 100 amp one and 2 of these https://www.modelsport.co.uk/absima-greenhorn-lipo-7-4v-45c-5000-hardcase-t-plug-/rc-car-products/440264 that should be enough to get started i hope all my other models are running on 2s as well so they batteries will come in handy depending on what im in the mood to run, got 2 chargers as well but ill grab a dual charge one at some point. looking forward to been able to let rip and thrash it about instead of been careful with shots of my dads red one also shhh dont tell him i prefer the red edit: are some hyper 7 parts compatible with the vse?

RickC Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I have a 7 and vs e and I'd say the only thing would be the centre diff brace , but even that could be different . So difficult to find parts for the vse at the minute 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So difficult to find parts for the vse at the minute my new truck came in a box for 4 hyper vse's, they have sold loads recently, i guess all the poeple buying them have been breaking them as well, but the spares line are going straight into full built new cars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomP Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 All I need now to be up and running a is a lipo for my VSE, I'm still mulling over what to go with, 2x 2s os a 4s (150a esc) I've seen a 4s 5000mah Voltz on modelsport for £56 with Dean's connectors so presume I can de-solder to fit xt60? Is there a better option for me, I find the battery side of things a bit messy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the batteries with xt90s on and changed my hobbywing esc to them instead. Currently running 2 x3s batteries as I thought if one cell breaks you only have to replace the one battery 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam1979 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) I personally prefer using one 4s pack rather than two 2s packs. If one pack went bad I would want to replace both of them anyway as I like to keep cells matched. I have not had any issues with deans, although there seems to be a few people who hate them. I did have to cut and modify the battery tray to get mine in though. Edited July 7, 2020 by adam1979 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are badland copies. I've gone back to the standard wheels and tyres as these keep coming off the rims. I've not really put much effort into trying to keep them on and I'm sure a good tyres adhesive would work. Also the offset of the wheel is different to the standard wheels and they rub slightly on full steering on the front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yrkoon Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 there is one thing i dislike about the hyper vse, my old speccy dsm2 300 rx's wont fit in the rx box bit using stock tx at moment. also put a bit of old fine fish netting over the top of the esc fan, one run clogged the fan and esc up with bits of fine cut grass took the fan off and cleaned it out then cut out some netting for it, it was amazing how much half dead grass was in the fins on the heat sink, after it's second run earlier all the grass was just on top of the netting instead of been inside it lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
