HPI Trophy Truggy and Buggy Owners Club!

[dazp1976]

All the nitro guys should check this out, its given me a few ideas

Jeeeezz! That's a lot of effort gone into that. Looks good but 3 things come to mind. 1. weight 2. stronger axles 3. four more 3mm shock shafts for me to bend The starter system is cool tho.

[pug=309]

The starter system would be a great "party piece" and handy as buggery, especially when your car stalls out half a football pitch away, wonder how he did his cause i've been looking into trying to use a Traxxas based setup. That would be more weight but hey, id take the weight over walking that whole pitch to get the bleeding thing

 

 

Do you think he has enough bracing on that thing?

[stevo2551]

Fixed the shock tower with some 'metal weld' putty, batteries on charge again, I think I'll go to my Propper bash spot this time rather than the skatepark...

Allan

Perfect 4 wheel landing...but the tower was already cracked, now I've fixed it I've only got the bottom hole on each side with no room for adjustment bit it'll do for now.

Welcome to the forum bud. Depends on what kind of hop-ups you want. For the Truggy I will have some 17mm hex conversion sets available soon (3 in total) I have all the shafts I'm just waiting for the hexes to arrive.

I have just got these for mine:

I have got these hinge pins all round for the hub carriers as I hate the e-ring type:

@ dazp1976

Am I correct in reading you will have 17mm conversion set to fit tt flux ? If so can I put my name on a set.

[stevo2551]

Went out to play again after picking the Mrs up, managed to snap the plastib bit that holds the upper A's and shock tower, hopefully still have one spare from last time...

[stevo2551]

O.k. bud. I will have 3 full sets available soon. Hopefully in the next week.or so. I am just waiting on delivery of the hex hubs and nuts, all the shafts and axles came last week.

If it stops lashing down I'd try it myself

I reckon it might spin on it's axis a bit on grass tho.

[boombox]

Hmm I guess ill just have to try it, have tons left over that I use in my vorza
