Bazzokajoe Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Stock knuckles are pap... Only fit for the spares box incase you ever damage the cnc ones... Should just buy cnc ones right off the bat... Especially if you run onroad, as curbs are cast aluminum worst enemy! Cnc ones, thoe expencive, are a necessary upgrade, my first hyper I put off getting cnc ones cause Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbodaz Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) Got my 2nd hand Hyper off a user on here today. OMG what a mess for a car that was sold with only a few weeks use it was a mess. For a start the car was propper caked in mud not even cleaned or a wipe over with a rag Got the car out and rolled it on the floor and it just all jammed! I was like wtf! Once i took the fuel tank out i could see the problem. The Engine had moved ( Locite Boys ) a good couple of mm so rather than meshing as it should it was clicking over the gear.. Prat prob has been bombing around like this hence why he sold it on as he thought it had broke!!! Anyway small adjustment and it was sat back where it should and moves freely. Gave it a good clean in the bath with the shower as it was caked and it came up pretty good. Servo had been uprated on the steering but was still crap so thats been taken out and 2 power hd 1501 units ordered up. Find these very good for the cash and work very well on my HPI trophy. The car came with a 6v battery pack but that was installed like a pile of poo as they had hacked a hole in the side of the reciever box to poke the wire through.Also I hate the hump pack on these as they just look **** as they hang out... I like things neat so ordered a new reciever box up (Unbutchered) that comes with the nice straight battery holder to hold the flat block 6v battery pack. Looks a hundred times neater and this time i will fit it as it should with the wires through the standard slot Also added the new Jammin Jp3 pipe, always have good results from theses also have one on the hpi car.. But yeah what is it with kids owning these who have no idea lol go back to Argos rc kits !!!! Edited February 21, 2011 by turbodaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niallrbroome Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 did you take any pics of it in its mess?lol im not sure if they fit on the 7 but i think that the Hyper 8? has a sealed radio box that holds the radio gear and hump pack, just might make it look neater..

turbodaz Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) http://i975.photobuc...0/Photo0019.jpg This was in the ad gen condition - Under shell was just full of mud. Yet the lad said it had all been cleaned since the pics. Edited February 21, 2011 by turbodaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niallrbroome Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 ah yeh i remember seeing that one up on here. did you at least get a fair price? did you ask for pics of under the shell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoothybb Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 So what did you get with it Daz? You got a humpack but want the inline so bought one of those? I'm confused. As for the Hyper 8 box, I've been told with minimal modifications they do fit so that's what I'll be trying when I cba. Far neater although tbh, even with proper humpack installed I think it still looks pretty neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbodaz Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 So what did you get with it Daz? You got a humpack but want the inline so bought one of those? Yes it came with a humpack battery but they had made a big hole in the reciever box to thread the wire through which just was filling up with crap as a result of the hole lol.. I had seen the picture above awhile ago with the flat pack so had already thought id buy one. Car came with glow charger/starter and muilti battery charger . Other than that it was std.

Smoothybb Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Tbh, the stick pack holder does have a better hold than the humpack type so no need to wedge it in with sticky stuff and cable tie round as well. So rather than thread the charge lead back out of the r/x box like most of do, they just jammed a big hole in the side for ease/speed? Odd.

jewdis94 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 anyone know the best way to clean the mud off your engine. ive stripped my hyper to a roller to give her a nice clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoothybb Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Brake cleaner I think. Block the holes up and shower it? Bowl of soapy water and pipe cleaners (it's not overly effective trust me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niallrbroome Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 toothbrush is how i clean mine.. takes a little while but looks good after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanio Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Has anyone flipped the center diff on a Hyper 7 to mount a brushless conversion (with the motor towards the front) without having to cut another hole for the spur? I am trying to do it so I don't have to cut another hole in chassis for a spur and think it could be done with some spacing. Problem is I don't know how much spacing!
