New spur arrived and I have now re-fitted the pinion and motor with a smidge of thread-lock on the grub and motor screws. Waiting for it to try and will test later today! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immortaljellyfish Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I'm really interested in getting a 2WD truggy and have nearly pulled the trigger on the Team Associated Trophy rat a few times. This looks pretty interesting though! Anyone got any experience of both and how they compare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomr Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 Ran the Jumpshot this morning on 3s with 40/81 gearing . It runs fantastic! Can’t wait to get back out with it on higher gearing 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not owned the Team Associated truck but I can say the Jumpshot has proved to be a good truck with a decent amount of spares available 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCake Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Thought I would add the wheelie bar to my flux and ordered HPI 115495. Gone to fit it and the screws which mount to the back of the motor surround don't thread in what so ever? Thought I was going mad at first but neither side works and they just push right in to the neck!? Have HPI changed something on the design for the Flux versions and I have managed to get old stock?

I do mention it on pg.2 👍 But yeah I think somebody at the factory is putting the wrong bolts in, I did email HPI at the time to which they replied they’d look into it but we obviously have older stock. The instruction sheet lists 3x15mm bolts but 2x 15mm Where included. I didn’t bother to measure the bolts I used I just dug some out that went in .

MrCake Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Thanks for that - will teach me to skim read! Just checked mine and they do appear to be 3x15 so not sure why they dont fit still. Will have to try and find some 4 x 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomr Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 After the last speed run crash I’ve turned it back into a basher . Its now running a 3300kv 3660 motor with some crazy gearing from a Maverick Strada . Probably way over geared but it will have to do until I order 48p pinion with 5mm bore . Might as well speed test it on the field though 👍 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went for 4x10 and 4x12 to test so will let you know how they go. Didn't want to go too long since it will be eating into the casing and I have already shaved it down a smidge from an accidental wheelie on tarmac! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
