Anything I should know about these truggies as I put it together and before I run it like things to check for or certain tweaks to do, or occuring problems they have that can be fixed before it happens to me? This is going to be my first one that I have to build, I have always bought rtr's in the past. Can't wait!!


when you build your diffs, make sure everything is shimmed nice,(its all supplied with the kit)..use locktight on any screw to metal parts..if you use the battery holder that comes with it(hyper 7 setup)make sure you use zip ties to hold the battery in..take your time building it..to me ,its the best fun building a kit..put it all together, take some photos for us, go and get it dirty..enjoy..

oh yeah..any probs just ask us ..thats what forums are for...you know ..a dumb question is a question not asked.

Did the courier drag that box behind his van then give it to you!!?? It's really beaten up.
What fluid has leaked over the inside of the box?

Actually the box looks bad in the pics. They used clear tape and covered the whole box to ship it. What happened in the box is the included dif and shock fluids leaked in the bags and seeped out. REAL MESSY! oh well I have my own fluids to put in it. Here is a pic of what I got done tonight. Still a long way to go. I also read in the mag that this truggy can come with 2 possible different center diffs, a regular diff like the front and back and a SPIDER diff. Mine came with the spider diff. Never seen one before. Is it just stronger because it has more gears or what. It also did not come with hardly and grease at all, it was dry so I filled it with fluid.

Status: offline 		Here's some info about the Spider Diff, taken from the Hyper 8.5 thread:

quote:

after checking other forums and talking with Rob from Nitrohouse here is what I have been told. The spiders are for high grip surfaces, mostly European tracks. They have less diff action then standard diffs therfore you need to use lower wt.diff fluid. With extra gears they have more natural friction and when used in the center will drive the rear harder. This make sense because the higher the diff fluid in the center the more you drive the the rear. You need to use about half the diff wt i.e. if you usually use 5k fluid standard with spiders use 2-3K. With a center spider diff I am thinking the correct set-up maybe 3kF 2kc 2kR!!
