smash Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Hope they sort the dog bone problem out tbh i haven't had a dog bone prob at all, the only thing i have been disappointed with is the somewhat weedy brakes and general weakness of the plastic in the front end.. some relatively low speed dings have cost me a quite a few quid to sort out.. i have seen a few comments regarding the strength if the drive dogs and main drive shafts though so there must be something to it..

goldblades7 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) i agree its not far off being perfect just a hopup here and there methinks ! dont understand weedy brakes i had to reduce the brake setting as it kept doing front flips!

.AJ. Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 Have you done bump stops in the shocks??? and also i put an extra o-ring in the diff outputs to take up any slack in the dog bones, save losing them, but not bending them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 Ive had that a few times, if its only the diff or drive cup damaged it should be ok, if its the C-hub or steering block you better off changing them and dog bones can be straightened with a bit of force Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) Because theres no center diff that would work fine, but all the power would be going through the rear diff so take it easy in 2wd mode Edited October 10, 2010 by AJ Roberts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stealthrc Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 With all the dogbone bending, maybe add CV driveshaft with a spacer at the axles inside the c hubs and carriers will ensure the dogbone push further in and stays in the diff cups all the time regardless suspension travel. Really hope hpi is looking into it, also the centre driveline needs looking to. I sure do hope that hop ups comes out, don't think other aftermarket companies will do them unless the bullet reaches the USA, I wonder why hpi haven't realise the bullet to USA and Japan.

.AJ. Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) HPI MT2 and Firestorm dog bones fit if you open up the diff and drive cups a little and they are thicker and a bit stronger than stock ones Edited October 10, 2010 by AJ Roberts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
