Self appointed no powers wanabee moderators just enjoy whinging lol

I hope you know a good fabricator to make the motor mount LOL The 1515 is a plenty strong enough motor even for heavier trucks like my Erevo When deafty refers to drilling the chassis I think he means for the battery trays

The Lightning pro 2 comes with aluminium caps but they are very hard to find these days

But where is the never ending tool wrenching and tweaking with the pro ? Mine has broken twice in almost 3 years , That's hardly never ending How much tweaking did your pro need ? Oh yeah , You have never owned one You describe the car as being only of antique value yet agree that it is better than the current trophy , Does that mean a new trophy is worthless ? You say that the lightning was replaced by the trophy but those in the know acknowledge that it was merely a very slightly bigger engine and otherwise just a rebranded lightning gt , The price did rise but that's just hpi brand name tax As for the video , It's not your car and the power source is unknown so I don't see it's worth

I'd like to see a vid of the mt4 doing it on concrete never mind grass lol It seems to me that in the run up to selling your trophy all you had was praise for them but since it sold you do nothing but criticise them , Theres no denying that the Lightning is a dated design but it's still being sold and that is the focus of this thread , I'm just offering people the chance to purchase a lot of upgrades that are no longer available all in one package

And here is what my 6s conversion can do Please excuse the lack of brakes LOL http://vidmg.photobucket.com/albums/v330/cjp200s/VIDEO00071.mp4

No pics at the mo but plenty on google

It's time to let it go as I simply don't need it , My original Pro 2 is still going strong and I have some unfinished projects to sort

Would anyone be interested in my Lightning Pro 2 roller ? For those that don't know it's basically a trophy but with virtually every upgraded component that was available from HPI (some parts are no longer available) The chassis hubs driveshafts etc etc are all virtually unbreakable and not the usual shoddy quality asian copies . The Pro 2 was only ever sold as a rolling chassis meaning you need to add your choice of radio gear and engine but is otherwise complete . This particular kit was purchased for spares for my 6s Pro 2 brushless conversion (completed before HPI brought out the flux) but with only 2 breakages in 3 years of bashing this kit has remained complete and only opened for pic's . This kit is the last one available in the UK and is for sale for

Seconded

What are the differences ?

STS 0.30 or HPI 5.9 , Which engine would you use for bashing ?

Has anyone tried an STS 0.30 in a buggy ?

Finally bent my first front centre driveshaft but to be fair it was one hell of an impact Also bent my RC Monster motor mount,snapped the end off my front centre brace and cracked a wishbone .Not bad really considering it was 40+ head on with a 6" tall kerb stone While it's apart a 19 tooth pinion is going in and I might even clean it LOL
