Looking good mate! One thing I would say is your diff oils seem very weak. I'd personally be putting something like 40K Fr, 20K r and like 70K in the centre

Interesting project. Love the shock towers. You say its more beefy than other truggy's but doesn't look that much sturdier, if any, than an ST Pro, well at least from the pics. Where do you reckon its stronger then?
Out of interest, why would someone 'rate' a topic such as this 1/5??? Doesn't make any sense to me...
Personally I feel almost everything alloy is stronger as it's a higher grade of ally. I believe most stuff is 7076 on the pro spec hong nors. Where as most stuff is 6061 or cast on the Hyper. (Again just from what i've read) Plus I feel like it's just a better design and construction over the Hyper. In the real world there is probably no difference at all, but I feel like I have a lot more confidence in the HN.

Did you bolt the Hyper assemble straight in? I had custom mounts made for mine as the HN spacing is slightly different, and dropping the 52t ST diff in lower down meant the it protruded out the bottom of the chassis - a no no for the track and finger safety - so a custom centre skid plate was made.
Assuming your mount is a 'stock' absima' type your going to be a little limited with pinion sizes too.
Not a lot in it in my experience of both. Later HN have true big bore shocks, much better than the ST's. Stock towers on the HN Pro are milled from billet alloy too, not cast like the newer ST PRo's (only my opinion - can't find a definitive answer). HN's stock front knuckles use a captive bolt system - unlike the ST's where it is possible, though unusual if looked after, to strip the threads out of them.
ST Pro has benefits over the X1 - diff ratio's - the X1 CRT uses buggy ratio 3.3 diff's - so there much harder to 'turn' than the ST's usual truggy 4.5 (thereabouts) - hence the X1 CRT has a stock monster 64t centre spur and you will see ST's with 2000kv plus motors - my X1 and Matt's first one - run 1600kv 4082 leopard's - I have got away with the Hobbywing 4274 blue can 1800kv in mine but have to be careful with it - badlands cause it to get quite warm.
So do I! I almost bought a pair when I had that custom chassied X1 before. But couldn't justify the cost for the gain. They're in pretty much mint condition with just a tiny bit of material taken off the tips from roll overs. Looks like just the anodizing has come off to be honest.
The centre diff holes are for the 4mm screws so I just took a 4.5mm bit and ran it through them square and it is just enough to be able to get all 4 screws in all the way. It's not a perfect fit, but i'm more than confident it's not going anywhere.
Yeah i'm crying out for another MFP mount or something equal to it. Just a crappy mount I had in the draw lying around for years. Currently running a 16t pinny, 47t spur and standard diffs with the 1700KV motor. Goes alright but does get a bit hot :/

hey guys, so this is mainly for bashing and or scudding, what are the best gearing ratios for a 1/8 buggy using a 1900kv set up, cells also come into play, wiling to go 5s max
the buggy is an old skool hong nor x1cr pro.
+1 For choice of RC
I would start off with a 14t but have a 15,16 and maybe a 13 in stock for adjustment.

Having finally gotten round to purchasing some electrics for my EB48.3 (
- Turnigy TrackStar 1900kv sensored motor, Hobbywing Max8, and Wifi Module.
I now need to find a decent 4s lipo for around £60 - preferably hard case, and at least 5000MaH
Cheers
I have the older version of these. Very good batteries for the price. Not sure if it will actually fit but they are pretty small for a 4S I think.
Gonna grab a couple my self in the coming weeks

Hey all.
Thought i'd show you what I've been working on for the past couple of weeks. Decided that I didn't like my Hyper ST all that much anymore, cracking truggy. Just had connection to it really. Didn't enjoy it as much as I would have thought. So I went back to my roots when this came up for sale and I managed to get it pretty cheap.It's a Hong Nor X1 CRT PRO with a few aftermarket upgrades like;
- CNC front and rear hubs + steering kuckles
- Fioroni front and rear CNC shock towers (Really love these, they're so beefy)
- Hyper Spider centre diff (Because why not if you can right?)
Have basically taken the middle bit out of my Hyper and transplanted it onto this chassis. I much much prefer the way these handle and look over almost any other truggy. Everything is so more and beefy. Half way through putting all new hardware in so far I have done all the screws holding everything to the chassis with A4 stainless gear, same with shock towers and most centre stuff. I love trying to put cap head screws in as many places as I can as they have a bigger hex than anything else and they look amazing. Has been completely rebuilt from top to bottom.
When funds allow I plan on getting a Hobbywing ESC (Ideally another Max 6, although a 150a will be great still) and a Leopard 4282 2000KV motor as i'm only gonna be on 4S the 1700KV at the moment is a bit too slow for my needs and can't really gear it up to what I want due to it being a 4274 can.

Hi guys I've not been about for a wile but I've decided it's time to sell up, is there still an area of the forum to ask for a idea of value?
I have pics of my stuff which includes 2x hyper 7, 1 is full brushless & the other is a roller with conversion kit fitted but I do have everything to put back as nitro. Also loads of spares inc suspension, wheels, shocks/springs & 3x nitro engines.
I have pics that I'm sorting on Photobucket

No idea in hell what brand this engine is. All I know is it's a .25, was installed in 2013 and its got a bucket load of compression. Came straight out of a Hong Nor X1 Pro which was raced and put to the side.
I would guess by the fact it has no markings on any of it at all that it's just chinese crap. Although any help appreciated.

Yep that's what I thought guys, just that from my experience of motorbikes and cars metal on metal is a bad thing.
Unless like a car you have boots on your CVs/Dogbones then I would steer well away from any sort of lubricant on your shaft.
Things like this work best with nothing on them, if you think about it the end nearest to the diff doesn't actully move all that much. So any lubes on there would probably have such little benifit.
If it wasn't meant to be like it from the factory, I wouldn't do it.
That's just the way I see it.
