Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / September 2006A couple of OOOps here also. . .
Just snagged a Hyper 8 roller (Which I have and have already built and driven) used off of ebay, and got the kid an Ofna Pro MBX with a 2-speed tranny on it's way, also from ebay. Honest, it wasn't my fault. . . > Just snagged a Hyper 8 roller (Which I have and have already built and > driven) used off of ebay, and got the kid an Ofna Pro MBX with a > 2-speed tranny on it's way, also from ebay. > > Honest, it wasn't my fault. . . Damned muscle spasms on the trigger finger huh? Mine only seems to twitch when the mouse cursor is over the "Buy It Now" button. I'm about to have a series of oopsies myself, prolly within the next week or so. My shopping list: 1. Engine for Savage (still haven't decided which, leaning towards STS .30) 2. Alu shoes for said engine 3. Tuned pipe for said engine 4. New wheels and tires for the Mayhem ST 5. Nova head for buggy 6. Nova head for new Savage motor 7. Panther low profile Komodo Dragon MT tires for buggy 8. OFNA MT splits (full offset) for buggy; gunna turn it into a muggy 9. Aluminum shocks for Savage Just ordered $80 worth of Mayhem parts from Horizon. I've been eating thru clutchbells, clutchbell bearings and clutch shoes like sh.t thru a goose lately. Averaging 1/2 gallon before all of those listed parts are ghandi. Soooooo, ordered a 13T Ti clutchbell, Mugen Alu shoes, and some decent bearings for it. Also ordered some front upper a-arms (current ones are pretty wobbly d/t age), front steering knuckles (extra set to have on hand, used my last spare this PM during "NitroFest". Also ordered a few shim kits for clutchbell and diffs. All those little bits sure do add up fast!! Had a blast this PM. Ran a quart thru the Mayhem ST and my bud ran his MGT. He's finally got it tuned right (likes HOT plugs!) and it was running like a sonafabiyatch. Only casualties were a steering knuckle on my Mayhem when I hit the ramp too hard, too fast and actually clipped the side of my garage coming down from the flight and the clutch shoes which were pretty well gone as well.

Aluminum shocks for Savage DON'T get Alu shocks - they're nothing but trouble, even the HPi ones. Stick to stockers. The Hong Nor Long Life alu clutch seems to be holding up nicely with my STS. > Just ordered $80 worth of Mayhem parts from Horizon.

Nice :-) We raced my mates Hyper 21 8 Port powered Sav and another mates stock .21 powered MGT against my STS .30, 18/48 geared Sav. That was quite funny. So much power I didn't wheelie, just span all 4 wheels and left black marks on the carpark. Naturally, I won, by quite a way ;-) My cheapo roller and 23mm hexes with various tyres should be arriving tmrw, preparing for project tarmac racer...

Whats trouble about them? The HPI alu ones I got have been *beautiful* and smooth ever since I installed em. I've never ever had any trouble with HPI shocks and would recommend them in an instant. Mine still seal perfect from new and dont have any air in them. Most stock shocks are crap imho! Plus the alu ones look awesome! Cheers Dre >> Just ordered $80 worth of Mayhem parts from Horizon.

Cheers Dre >>> Some inline >>> >>> [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > > Cheers Dre Oh right, I've just seen that many dead ones (inc nearly a full set of HPi ones) that I can't help but think they're crap :-) Plus, the whole time I've had my Sav, I've only killed 3 stock shocks - which I think is pretty good. I would say tho, if you do get them, the HPi ones would be the ones to get. Or I beleive the Hot Bodies ones with the HPi shafts put in are quite good.

I've never killed a HPI shock! So your record of 3 is pretty bad IMO! But then all mine are aluminium :) I wouldn't touch the Hotbodies with gloves on. On my zilla, 4 of them had oil all over them and 6 out of the 8 had air in them, I have rebuilt all 8 and we'll see how long they last. Hot bodies plastic is sh.t compared to HPI stuff... HPI definately make the best shocks IMHO and I highly recommend them! Cheers Dre |
