ORIGINAL: wefishtoo

The wheels came with the truggy. Poor quality however. The yellow drove me nuts so i tried to remove tyres by soaking in acetone, which i have done many times, but the wheels dissolved. Go figure. Never happened before.
Here is a forum in Australia which is dedicated to the HSP brand where parts are readily available. Look under SWARM. Very helpful and knowledgable guys.

Here are some pics/review i did for the forum comparing my Swarm and the Hyper ST as i was one of two who first got them here in Australia.

I have been looking on this site you put a link to above and it is pretty awesome. I would recommend anyone with a redcat to go look at that site and see for themselves. Has alot of troubleshooting info on and it and the people are extremely helpful just like here at the redcat forums and they are knowledgeable to about the trucks. Just more info to help us all out is all.

Status: offline 		The guy that runs the forum, Trevor Lockie, also owns an online store that stocks parts for the truggy, 1/8 buggy,1/8 monster truck and the 1/10 scale off roads. They are based on the Kyosho inferno MP 7.5. I use some of the buggy parts on my inferno gt 1/8 on roads, as in my avtar. Fit perfectly ,1/2 the cost and are quite strong. Check out his online store.

Status: offline 		I have not heard good things about the sts over here. I do not know why but I am always told not to use them. You guys do not have any problems with them? I like the SH motors so far and have been very good to me and are cheap to rebuild pistons and sleeves. Clermont hobby sells the piston and sleeve for about 35.00 or so which is cheap.

Status: offline 		Hi guys, we have found the infinity 27 engine to be a great reliable option, a few weeks after the first few Truggies arrived we entered in our state titles, we managed a 5th place finish and the top 3 drivers were sponsored (xray, mugen & kyosho). This was our first attempt at any major event and the truggy was only a few weeks old and still testing different setups. We have found that many of the Kyosho ST-R parts are interchangeable and found things such as the Reckward tuning progressive rate springs made alot of difference. The Truggy has the potential to cut it with the best and with more setting up and testing we are confident we can improve next year.

Status: offline 		Where can i get those springs and how much are they? I think that is pretty awesome that a monsoon came in 5th in your state titles with the top 3 sponsored. See everyone, this truggy can hang with them all!
