Stainless steel seems to be the way forward and about quater the price of Ti. Any one managed to get the box of fixing which MSUK are selling?

[TheOne1974]

Tried to put up a link for the Stainless Steel Screws i got from ebay but cant find them and the seller is gone, but they are great, I would say their the same as the simply RC ones and much more durable than the standard HPI ones!!

You can get the replacement foams for the Byron Filter from Wheelspin and Apex, over the weekend ill see if the foam from my HB one fits my Byron one, dont know why but never tried or even thought about it before lol

[creativechris]

yey my alluminum steering parts have arrived fitting them right now haha look so nice, very light as well.

[neutron2k]

I am trying to replace my stock diffs with the hardened ones and Ive noticed the hardened ones don't fit in the flux. They are a few mm shorter as the teeth are straight rather than spiral like the stock one.

Has anyone else had this problem?

This is what I have;

That diff is for the front and rear of the flux. There is a seperate diff for the center as it has the spur gear mounted to it rather than the rounded gears.

I just installed hardened gears into my stock diffs - much cheaper option

[Dan201]

Yeah that would have been the smarter option.

I ended up taking the top off the hardened diffs and replacing it with the stock ones. The hardened front/rear diff isn't a direct replacement despite HPI/MSUK's claims. I wasted about

[creativechris]

fitted dead chuffed with them.

the washers are a temp job at the moment, waiting on some screws to come and some little fixings.

Nice, Chris!

How much did those set you back?

Are those ball-ends worn down by your wheels or purposely trimmed? Looks like no end points have been set on your transmitter.. lol

[creativechris]

yeah, they are warn down lol. iv had them since my dad bought the car 4-5 years ago lol.

but they have stopped wearing now so iv kept them on.

and for the price. i think they were (including the bit round the outside) about 30/40 quid. well worth it tho!

What bit is round the outside Chris?

[Deafty]

Where u end up getting em from Chris? + what round the outside bit!? lol

[stevek32]

Sorry guys a little off track... But just wondering on the flux models can anyone tell me the size off the motor mount. I'm looking at space between chassis bolt holes and height. If poss seeing if I can adapt it to fit a hyper 7 as motor mounts for them are really hard to find in the UK.

[rob12]

so basically you want the height of the mount ??

[Deafty]

Engine Rebuild Update:

Rebuilt and sealed yesterday. and installed new carb cos I had 1 lying around --> I was worried about the piston fit being extremely tight, When turning fly wheel it effectively "snaps" into TDC freakin tight! So pre heating is a must.

Currently breakin in: So Far:

[*]Preheated to 200

[stevek32]

Yeah pls cause where your motor mount sits want to see if it will fit in same place but on a hyper.

[Deafty]

Watchout RitchieBoy is back, probably trying to sell his truggy to a another new owner who will never receive it.

[tommy gun]

@ creativechris,which dynamite exhaust do you run?did you have to retune your engine?

Also can someone help me please?i've jus brought me this http://www.wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/47964/ hump pack for my truggy but i car think we're to mount it atm. I know i've probably looked over a spot twice.lol

[Deafty]

Seriously,....

[TheOne1974]

Perhaps try in the receiver battery box

Also if you've still got the screw down one get yourself a 3 way receiver switch so you dont have to keep onening the box to charge the pack!!
