Some pictures for the thread.



The new Super Nitro. For $110 shipped I got a car with carbon fiber deck, y-brace, shock towers, 2-speed, front and rear universals, OS .15 with lightweight flywheel and racing clutch, fiber brake, full set of spare tires. Maybe the best deal ever.



Next to my RS4 3 Evo.



Evo with my Pro 4, soon to be sold.



Sporting the sick GT-one body. Not the paint scheme I would have done, but whatever.

I've also started CADing up some of the carbon fiber pieces. They're pretty rare since the Super's been discontinued for a number of years, and once I finish I'll post up the CAD files somewhere so people can take them to a machinist if they're really determined to make their own.



Front shock tower.

I'm also going to design a custom chassis like I did for my Evo. The only other things I have planned for it are new belts all around, a little bit taller gearing, and I think an OS .18TZ would work very nicely.

Here's a picture of all my HPIs in one shot (minus the Micro, it's at home in Atlanta)

i have a HPI too and wanted a .18 TZ but they only really come with pilot shafts... and we need standard crank shafts. which is $60 buy themselves. which i mean is a straight replacement but thats another 60 on top of the motor itself.

The pull-start, rotary-carb version comes with a standard crank. Drops right in:

I'm not a fan of rotary carbs, but I don't feel like buying a starter box + batteries for it and then lugging it out every time I want to start my damn cars.

Once I sell the Pro, that money will go straight to a TZ. In the meantime I'm going to move the .18CV-R from the Evo into the Super, since the .15CV I got with the car is bump start.

hey dont knock the bump start so much. i love it. so much more power and speed when starting. you dont have to worry about having enough rpm to get a bad carb tune to start.


i got a friend that has a .18TZ for sale. slide carb too but a pilot shaft. he said only broken in and a few tanks more. if your interested.

which i think is the only way to go. and why i said the ones we need is only pilot shafts. got ahead of myself. i need a bump start standard shaft slide carb .18TZ for my

Haha yeah I'm not trying to diss the bump start, I'm sure I'll be hating my decision when I'm blistering my hands from tugging on that cord over and over during break in. But if I do go the starter box route we'll be stuck in the same boat anyway without the standard shaft...

What HPI car do you run?

[MidLifeCrisis]

I'm inches away from giving up on my truck. Ive been waiting weeks for this damn diff case from HPI. I finished paint, chassis and wheel upgrades, now just waiting on diff..

[JDMEK18]

Hey Guy's,
I'm looking for a battery powered r/c hpi drift car if anyone has one for sale.

pm me

[slostang]

anyone wanna get rid of a cheap beater truck?

a guy at work has a 2nd gen e-maxx with supposedly $800 in mods (alum everything, skid plates, control arms, badass shocks, wheels, tires, 4ws, etc...) comes with all the stock shit and supposedly only needs new batteries to run. wants $200. worth it?

[ka24boost]

there a dirt track locate in homer ga

[ka24boost]

i meant comer by commere

[slostang]

picked up the E-maxx today for $150. turns out the batteries were good. got the truck, two bodies, controller, charger, and a box full of parts. i was fuckin around in the parkin lot at work and broke all 4 axles within 5 minutes. LOL

and no its not broke, it has 4-wheel steering.

[DirtyMechanic]

thats a first gen. but seems pretty good. like the 4 wheel steering. i had a 1st gen too. and wanted to do 4ws also. can you take pics for the rear steering i would love to see how its all done i have t-maxx that i wouldnt mind at all having 4WS.

[slostang]

its painfully simple, it uses a splitter so the front and rear servo use the same signal, the guy i bought it from made a little bracket and connected the servo to the rear control arms. theres also a bolt it uses for a pivot point.

[slostang]

any tips to replacing the half shafts? its a pain in the dick. i cant get the u-joint to slide over the pin.

I removed the front and rear differential when I did my co-workers t-maxxx.

[DirtyMechanic]

Very nice guys! Thinking about grabbing an OFNA Hyper 7 TQ. I had the OFNA LX 1 and LOVED it. Great beginners Buggy. Practically indestructible.

towerhobbies has great deals.

it seems just about any of those 1/8th buggies are bullet prove...

What POS? My r/c or bike?

I'm down to have a R/C meet at the Sugar Bowl when the warm weather comes. Anyone else down?

I'm down to go to the SB again.

[slostang]

just got home from work. im installing the new axles now so i should be back in action tomorrow.

i agree we need an IA bash session.

[Nismo]

Theres a sweet BMX park here in acworth that I used to run my 1/8th and my baja at. I'd prefer not to goto sugarbowl if possible. The tracks in garbage condition.

where is this place? sounds like a good spot to run the jato!

[Magnus213]

I ordered new belts, some pulleys, and taller gearing for the 2-speed (for the Super Nitro). Also picked up a second-hand starter box, hopefully these things will be arriving soon. Also did some more basic CAD models in SolidWorks.



Stock chassis



CF upper deck.

I'll be designing a custom chassis, not sure if I'll actually be able to machine it but should be fun anyway. I'll post some pictures once I've received all my parts and rebuilt the chassis.

[slostang]

got the axles in and putted around the house with it. shes ready to rock.

did a nice doughnut in the kitchen. lulz

yeah its an e-maxx.

i need to get some bulletproof axles. i keep twisting them like toothpicks.

you dont have spools in them do you? if sooo take it out of the front... and you might as well get some metal drive shafts for the rear.... i have some... well well well used if you can find any... 10 bucks? lol but really...

yeah both diffs have a spool. its great off road but as soon as it hits pavement they are toast. lol im just gonna order all 6 metal ones later in the week and hope i dont destroy something else. lol

ive also thought about trying to use the 3.3 cv axles.

The sugar bowl track just needs a lil TLC.I made it pretty decent in just a few hours.I hate bashing b/c I get so bored. There's no real skill and you can't "master" bashing. Nah mean? I'll do it, but would rather go to a track of some sort.

well i find with bashing its the fun of trying to find somewhere and when you find somewhere what jumps and stuff you can find... then with those jumps and stuff see how high and far you can go... or if you find some serious rough stuff see if you can get through and over it all.

[AnthonyF]

^true true. Pros and cons to each.I like the track and trying to nail one jump and land smoothly on the next. I know you can do that in bashing too, but hard to find a NICE area.I did it once with my old HPI b4 my Spektrum 3.0 radio and my HPI took off on me...which has happened a LOT.lol It ran across buford hwy and didn't get hit by one car. lolol

[slostang]

found a neat lookin bash spot just past atlanta motor speedway today. gonna go check it out on my next day off if anyone wants to join.

[egpower904]

anyone looking for a good track, go to wild horse creek park its in powder springs behind tapp middle school. just stay out of the bmx'ers way, they get pissed easily and have ran over some trucks before. i would know, i used to race there. sunday is usually race day for them.

i have a mamba'd losi mini baja, 1/18 scale. kept breaking parts so i gave up hope with r/c, but have been considering an on-road lately.

you just need to get the right setup especialy if goin mini with brushless power...i tried it with the mini lst and lept breaking diffs, then ent and got a vendetta and bash away...just gotta find the right truck or car for what you wanna do. sometimes durable isnt always the chassis you wanna work withsucks but take it from me, i've learned the hard way. now my 1/8th gasser lst is a brawler but the mini nearly put me in the poor house

[slostang]

i managed to get two full sessions in today without breaking. feels weird. LOL
