walkbythesea Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 What is the difference between the 7 and the VSe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 They both share same diff internals and steering knuckles but diff mounts are diferant . towers are thicker and diferant shape in vse , body shell , arms are all diferant prob a lot more diferances as well as vse is a mix of H7, H8 and h9 parts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yrkoon Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) heres a pic of the hyper 7 back shock tower and the hyper vse one for comparison 🙂 Edited June 13, 2021 by Yrkoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Seeing it like that the VS shock tower certainly looks more robust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottyb Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) I kept bending mine so i've managed to double them up, front one just bolts on but i did fill the top hinge pin holes with some epoxy to stop them coming out as the plastic stopper thing that screws on is now useless. The back one i just had to file out the holes a bit where the spoiler goes through and that's bolted straight on, so i've effectively got 8mm front and rear towers now, i'll have to see how it holds up! It's not pretty but it works 😁Front Top view Edited June 13, 2021 by Scottyb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottyb Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) Just got my refund off amazon aswell and going to get a pair of 6200mah's but don't know whether to get 50c or 80c 🤔 what do you think? The 50's are £14 cheaper though 😁 Edited June 13, 2021 by Scottyb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 50C will do mate you may not get quite as much punch compared to the 80c but they will definately do the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 were running some 50c in our vse's but higher the c the better poke they have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottyb Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I'm hoping the lower C might help with the heat a little bit as well, I've got punch set to 1 with the 100c's i've got and it still launches off like a rocket lol, even if you ease into it it just shoots off 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not pretty but it works 😁Front Top view sounds pretty good, instead of epoxy you could maybe replace the pins on the upper arms with a high tensile bolt and a nut like i ended up doing to the hyper 7, the hyper 7 took a m3 bolt if i recall for the upper arms 🙂 https://boltbase.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottyb Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 If the epoxy don't hold then i'll do this, cheers 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottyb Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) My temp gun came today, test it against 2 thermometers and they were all within about 3 degrees of each other. Took my car to the golf course coz it's quite taxing on it being grass and about a 30 degree slope running it up and downhill, granted it's a bit cooler today but the ESC was about 40 mid run and 44 at the end, motor was about 48 mid run and 55 at the end and batteries were 38 mid run and 44ish at the end. So looks like i'll be trying the 17T. 😁 Motor felt a lot hotter than that though when touching it but i measured it about 5 times and different angles and it was always around 48-50 so it must be fairly accurate! I might just replace the ESC and motor fan with some of those cheap high speed surpass hobby fans, can't do any harm, look like they are twice the RPM of the hobbywing ones even at low voltage and would at least cut down the cooldown time between batteries!

Scottyb Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I love how robust these are, i landed sideways off a jump earlier and it cartwheeled at least 60 feet down hill, luckily landed on it's wheels and just kept going without anything breaking...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice cars hehe thanks 🙂 i do have a slightly bent chassis and i only noticed because my body shell wouldn't quite fit on the posts anymore lol made the towers a bit stronger earlier, which i think is wise considering the abuse i put it through 😛 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottyb Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Been to the big bmx track today with my new batteries and 17T pinion, got at least 45mins out of 2x6200 50c's and everything was barely lukewarm when they had finished. went to put my 100c's in after and both my deans connectors are knackered on them so it kept turning itself off so i gave up and came home🤬 Was epic on the jumps though, had a few crashes, took an absolute pasting and scraped the crap out front strut tops but it was absolutely fantastic, nothing broke apart from struts popping off the top posts and losing the screw out the rear body mount post but it wasn't long enough anyway now i've doubled up the towers so my bad. I don't know whether to change the 100c's to XT90 (same as ESC) or not as i've still got 2 months warranty on them i think. I may have influenced a few people to buying one lol Edited June 17, 2021 by Scottyb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
