Zyphruk Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 does anyone know what the Chinese version of these chassis's are called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fnknan Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 They go under a bunch of names. But HSP is a big one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Busby Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Yeah it's HSP, similar to the Absima models of this scale.I have the XB and it has a load of parts from the HSP on it, but there is certainly some differences.Shock towers, A-Arms, Shocks, chassis (it's basically mirrored), motor mount, chassis brace.Many of the HSP parts are still compatible, even if they're slightly different.Also be cautious of gearing, pretty sure it's a MOD 0.8, but a lot of the HSP parts are 0.6.Maverick also add shims to the diff, but otherwise the parts are the same.I'm amazed you managed to get 4s to work, I can't even get the buggy running nice on 2s without it spinning out under a bit of power.

Zyphruk Posted June 23, 2020 Author Share Posted June 23, 2020 so mine got delivered today and im very impressed with the build quality for the price. one thing i did notice is the camber and toe out on the front was all over the place. Also the dogbone is very much on the verge of falling out on the front. i can see this being an issue. wonder if there is any CVD shaft available? other than that i saw on beyondRC's channel something about putting O rings in the drive cups.

fnknan Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Not sure but it's the one with the dual shocks. The designs been around for about 15-20 years and it used to not handle brushless power well at all, seems maverick have tweaked it to handle it well now tho.

I've tried a few universals and CVD options, none of them really worked well. If you do decide to try one, make sure you also get some hexes that can clamp onto the driveshaft to prevent over-tightening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the HSP parts are still compatible, even if they're slightly different. Also be cautious of gearing, pretty sure it's a MOD 0.8, but a lot of the HSP parts are 0.6.

I'm amazed you managed to get 4s to work, I can't even get the buggy running nice on 2s without it spinning out under a bit of power. Pretty much stripped the spur straight away on 4s! Have a couple spares on order so will see how it goes probably doesn't help the fact these dont have a slipper clutch to take some of the strain off the transmission. I believe HSP do a steel Spur but as mentioned it is larger so would have to cut the chassis to make it fit possibly then switching to 0.6. I think the way forward for me now is see how it goes on 4s and then may revert to 3s and gear up to a larger pinion. 4s is a lovely idea and i hope i can find a way to make it work perfectly fine but maybe these trucks simply can't handle that amount of power being put through them .

Zyphruk Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 That thing is an absolute weapon on 4S! do you have a top down pic of the chassis, interested in how your mounting the batteries. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was also me talking to you on youtube 😂 I also have a 0.6 one here that I have never bothered trying, on 2S geared up it just takes the punishment tbh, problem I 've` had is the handling.

Yeah i mean i will see how it goes once i make a few changes and may even forget the 4s idea and go for 3s geared up and hope the stock spur holds up!

Zyphruk Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 So today i installed my stainless steel screw kit. it took forever. Cannot say i would recommend the screw kit i bought, it doesn't seem like it was tailored for the strada at all. it was missing 23 screws i needed but came with LOADS of screws i didn't need and this is supposed to be for this car. As you can see by the pic this is the amount of screws i had left over. Not complaining about having free screws but i would rather have the correct ones i was missing than loads of surplus ones. the overall quality of the screws was good though, cant knock it.

Paul Busby Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 The intention was probably for the cap head screws to replace a load of the button head screws, where clearence isnt an issue. Cap heads are way better if you can use them. They're less likely to strip, and if they do strip, you can grab them with pliers to take them out. BTW guys, as I have a strada here at home, and I have been making some bashing bumpers for Arrma cars, would people be interested in bumpers for these if I make them up? Price will be less than £20 Just gauging if there will be interest at the moment. Similar kind of thing to what T-Bone do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty easy stuff to work with and you can pick the material up off ebay fairly cheap. Not going to pretend it's something only I can do, but I have gone through quite a bit of trial and error to get to where I am, and it's still not quite perfect.

This thing is running great on 4s now it's an absolute beast almost uncontrollable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
