They don't fit. I bought a set from hpi and the standard caps don't fit they ones you need are no longer made and I couldn't find any stock

[snowygti]

<br />Cheers mate , I've got a feeling the 16 should fit so might try it ..

Mines a 14t thought it was bigger then that

Thanks for your reply snowy ,

I already have the 14t myself and although it goes alright with the 28 engine I just want to experiment with a few larger sizes ,

[harjun]

the .28 is a high torque engine, a 14T clutchbell on it is absolutely rediculous, there is just no load for the engine.

You need a 17T+ bell on it so the engine can use it's torque, you will find acceleration remains unaffected, but top speed is stupendous.

My lower brake arm catchs my fuel tank when throttle is applied does this happen to any one else?

Nope but when I accelerate the throttle linkage hits the body lol, just cut it down , no harm I think lol

probably not but the rear 1,s would work as they would be right length so 2 sets of rears

you dont have a link for the rears do you ?

A 17t will not fit without drilling the chassis which I can't be bothered to fuss about with.

Why does the hpi truggy have a 15t standard with a 28 size engine ?? Spur gear different I suppose..

My trophy buggy just has the edge on my mates trophy truggy in top end and eats it on acceleration :-)

Took the TT out earlier for last bash before i strip and put fancy ali parts on, going great, flat out when i heard a thump and a evil whumping noise come from it. Cut the engine and took it home to see what's what but had to go out before i could investigate further. I shouldn't have left it 3hrs, the house stinks and the noise was the remains of a slow worm that is now intergral to the center diff, drive shafts (front and rear) and is what i would call well done around the exhaust! I feel ill!

[carmst74]

Brilliant

argh, thats not nice man

:rofl:

We need to quote this!!!

[autobutcher]

Not nice, only just finished cleaning cooked and minced meat out of it, have'nt even started on fitting the shiny bits yet and i've got to get two new bearings to put in my lovely new edit hub carriers, oh well!

[harjun]

why did you buy new bearings?

did the old ones fail?

[autobutcher]

There may have been a cleaning issue, not my fault, honestly so i had to use a tiny amount of force to get them out, they were obviously a weak batch as they fell apart.

[danmc]

I had the best run of the whole time ive owned my Trophy Buggy 3.5 today, its making me think twice about selling it!

Butcher by name butcher by nature, lmao, but poor little slow worn , he was just prob minding his own business slithering around in the grass looking for insects to eat when POW .. A truggy runs his ass over chews him up then baked him on a burning hot pipe ...

Gloves on for that cleaning up job I think..
