    Hyper 7 hopups

    ive got the carbon hop ups like the front and rear tower,front upper plate,centre diff top plate, radio tray if ur interested,all in good condition
  3. the thing i fear the most is my throttle servo going and i loose control,whats urs
  4. Got a new 1 just 3 months ago.broke it in as stated by hpi and now I find the crank case has a big hole in the side and bits of metal spitting out.i haven't even had chance to have a good run with it.do you think this will be covered by warranty as I don't think this should happen.i just hope it gets sorted as I don't think 3 month is good for a engine
  5. ive got a chance on a used hpi firestorm 10t toorrow,seller says pullstart broken,is there anything i should look out for on this model,any known problems with them etc

      Not specifically. Just check the diff operates smoothly and correctly, and consider that a broken pullstart means you can;t really check the engine even runs. Check what the compression feels like and take out hte glowplug to confirm the piston moves up and down.

  6. i was wondering if anybody has used this servo as need a good servo for my throttle and break duties,i was using savox 1258 before it blew for this job or is there a better servo for around
  7. what is better for throttle duties-Savox SC-1256 or the Savox SC-1258

      1258 for sure faster and still plenty of torque.

      1258 it is then,hope i have better luck with this new 1

      set your end points so the servo is moving the control bars not trying to rip them out ;)

  8. how unlucky was i,on full throttle and my Savox SC-1258 servo bursts into a smoke bomb resulting in a runaway-wasnt happy chasing the buggy

    1. Baja 5b

      Baja 5b

      They are gutless, but will push a model about if you not bothered about slinging you 5-8kg savage round like a rag doll.

    2. Sharkster

      Sharkster

      so they crap then

    3. Baja 5b

      Baja 5b

      They run fine, and the quality is Fine they just don't make much power. Much like a bmw 2l diesel engine.

      underneath the carb in the inlet theres usually a nut + bolt that holds it in, soak it in wd40 overnight, spray it all around the edges + a little inside maybe and try it in the morning

  22. what type of paint do u use to paint centre of wheels

    1. Noj

      Noj

      Acrylic (or TS in tamiya speak), clean with soapy water before spraying. Undercoat will provide a better surface for the top coat to adhere to..they will chip in time tho..

    2. Sharkster

      Sharkster
