    Ok I just canabalised my Rush Evo which is in traction awaiting hop ups and various other parts, so that will do me in the short term. But I'd like to have a dedicated radio set for it.
    *edit*
    Ok that 27mhz HPI radio gear wont work :/.
    Any suggestions guys?

    No reason why it wont work..
    try your other gear as a test.
    Then it might be just a simple task of changing the wires on the plug end of the servo's .
    I had to do that once before.;)

    after various ins and outs I ended up buying 2 new servos :/
    *edit*
    Took her out for a small run about 17:30 ran about a third of a tank through her, bloody FAST!!!!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,503 ✭✭✭✭vectra


    I hear they are wicked fast alright.
    But
    the thing about those servos.. They should be perfect.. he would not put them in if they were not working. He doesnt need the hassle of people coming complaining.
    Anyway
    when will we see the vid of it passing the Hyper 7 :D

    He called me yesterday about them, apparently it's the wiring, I need to find out what way the wiring on the servos needs to be changed, and it should be fine.
    On the Hyper-V-Menace Video front.... well .... I can only control one of them at a time heh unless someone wants to come along to help out ? I'd love to try it :)

    :(


    Well, I hope you are happy with it bud.
    I know I would be.. :D

    Best of luck with it.;)

    and keep those vids coming.
    I must get a couple of vids done shortly myself :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,324 ✭✭✭tallus


    I will keep them coming :) Trying to get someone to Pilot the hyper and we'll see just who's the fastest, and bear in mind that the Menace is not fully run in yet, and also running on 5% Nitro :P


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,503 ✭✭✭✭vectra


    Hard to believe it is only on 5% ... man that thing would fly on 20%
    OH
    BTW.
    I spoke to Derek on the phone today about nitro. He stocks 25% but would not sell it to me as he said it is only for hardcore racers that need that "Bit More"

    He used it before for races and had to replace his engine every 3 meetings :eek:

    OK, Decision made.. I am sticking to my 20% :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,324 ✭✭✭tallus


    I'd agree with that !
    My savage runs well on 16% I dont want to punish it any more, tho... I'd love a bigger engine I feel bad that I can only wheelie her on grass :/

    Yeah,
    I know the feeling
    I cannot wheelie my revo at all :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,324 ✭✭✭tallus


    have you tried changing the spur gear/clutch bell combo ? I use a 13 tooth clutch bell and 52 tooth spur gear on my savvie and even then she will only wheelie on grass and the motor has to be well tuned, even close to leaning her out on the low end.

    If you put the suspention as high as it can go, It will wheelie handy but it will roll too much in the corners which will get on your nerves after a while

    I was thinking of Heavier oil in the rear with stiffer springs as well ??
