I was gona buy them style brakes guess i wont now i know they are not as good stock

what brakes was you running before bud...mine are stock not proper brake shoes just bits of metal on yellow nylon/fibre disc and she locks up everytime

I got them oils they are dead slow at dispatch when you order them message them and then send it on your paypal mine all turned up after long wait...im running 7000 5000 3000 spin her on a hair pin now

Cheers for that i have read it and makes sense to i haven't got a BL i am a nitro fan but i was thinking of getting one so it is helpful to find out stuff before i decide what to buy..i will pass this info on.

he is running the stock lipos that came with it but he has just bought some turnigy nano tech 6000mah 7.4v lipos for it as he was lucky if he got 10min run time out the stock ones

firstly thanks for your help..but can you say that in a easier way for a total noob to understand it is his first RC and 3s 4s ESC BEC they all are double dutch to us sorry..its is runny 2 7.4v 2 cell batteries at the moment...does what you say mean he can run 2 x a higher volt lipo's

Cheers any idea whether the Optimus XL can take a voltage up grade from stock??

Hi guys i am asking this on behalf of a mate who has a DHK Optimus XL..the thing is the steering servo is what id call slow to say the least...so he is looking to upgrade the servo but when we read about servo they seem to range from 4.8-7.2volts..the thing is the Optimus XL runs on 2 x 7.4v one for the motor one for the servo..so will a 7.2v servo get fried running a 7.4v lipo through it. Also we are both newbies and i know nothing about BL he was also wondering if anyone knows if the motor in a Optimus XL straight out the box could take a larger volt lipo than a 7.4V. Cheers guys

Ouch....i want some of them towers but there like bloody hens teeth to get hold of....dont know if i could butcher my shell though...id probably have to buy another shell and chop that one as i love the paint job on mine....as for chassis braces i ant find any hop ups for the hyper on fleabay sick iv looking now :-(

Did you have to cut the nose off your shell so it will fit with them towers bud...I WANT THAT CAR!!!

Have you got the ST pro shock towers on that bad boi...also where did you get that big ass bumper from i need one asap...i snapped a CNC pro rear shock tower at the weekend :-( P.s im also after alloy chassis braces where can i get them from....Oh what the hell just give me your hyper.....Please :-)

After frying mine being waterproof is the main option for me i want to get a waterproof one then coat it myself just to make sure i am going to get some plasti dip to try and save its life for a bit longer

Hi i have seen it advertised as waterproof but i must say its the GS-5515DTA i think i might bite the bullet and try it out and if it ends up not being waterproof i will of tried it out then when it fries i will send it back :-) that's if i cant find a better option that is....from what i have read people seem to think its safe to use in there planes as it centers back really well...i wouldn't put anything in a plane i couldn't trust i guess.

Cheers bud the waterproof bit my win it over id like to find out if the GOTECK servo is any good it states its part titanium i think with a bit more torque than the Etronix

thanks for the advice the noise part might put me off thou...do you think there are as quick as the standard savox steering servo that's in my hyper..its model SC-0254mg as i quite like the speed of it but its fried.

Hi i am looking for a budget friendly servo for my Hyper id prefer waterproof as i fried one at the weekend..i have found 2 but don't know if they are any good, so i was wondering if anyone on here has come across them or used them before... GOTECK GS-5515DTG ETRONIX ES092 Cheers guys

Always go for the cheaper option first bud...i am a newbie so i went for new bottom end just for piece of mind i know mine works fine now i have also put a new carb on and when i have the time and money i will rebuild my old engine mainly so i can get a idea of how they work while my buggy is still up and running so it does not matter if i damage anything...all a learning curve for me.

We did hit the ramps but it was my mates first ever attempt at a ramp and there are more bloopers than jumps...we have to get a grass race on vid and some decent jumping on vid...THEN the bloopers will be released..i will say they both ended up needing repair but the Optimus did hold out well on the ramps.

Optimus had it off the line but Hyper nailed it when it hit its sweet spot... 4s??? i am not a brushless guy..we are both newbies..its running straight out the box with duel batteries 2 cells each 7.4v

This is a video of my Hyper 7 taking on the Optimus XL on tarmac drag race

Finaly got to put my Hyper up against my mates Optimus XL today just trying them out for fun..this is the first part to my vid collection

Im looking at the novarossi P4 plus for mine but dont know if its a good novarossi or not...i will go the rossi way on my upgrade but not shore which yet
