Hi,
Ive seen a few comments about a battery mod that people have done to their hypers - What is the mod and why is it needed? Pictures would be a great help as I dont have my hyper YET!

Thanks in advance

The battery mod is from the hyper 8. People put it on because on the hyper ST has the battery exposed and not in a case.

yes, it's in both truggies, the hyper 8 box is sealed by a body clip, the hyper 8.5 box is sealed by 3 screws and you can put a bigger 5 AAA hump battery packs, for example, I use in my 8.5 buggy a Team Helotes 2600mAh Battery pack but it only fits in the H8.5 box and not in the H8 one.

Well just ran my new hyper st pro today for the first time since building it and all I can say is WOW!! I can see the difference in buying a car with all the upgrades compared to a rtr. This truggy felt like it was on rails and that is straight out of the box with no tuning or adjustments yet. Just point it to where you want to go and hit the gas and it goes there straight as an arrow! Have to do a little more tuning on the motor since i did not get a chance to run to long tonight due to some minor lighting problems. As far as hitting the jumps, it flies level as a can be and eats up rough sections of the track like you were on a flat surface. I could not believe it. My mantis was all over the place on the bumps but this thing felt like it was cutting through it.

I do have one question or concern:

I need to get it to steer more. I have my settings on my spektrum for the steering turned all the way up to 125% and it does not steer to sharp. With the car off I can turn the wheels with my hand more than the servo is turning them. I know on the steering plate there is 3 different holes for adjusting ackerman but I do not know which hole does what. Right now I have in in the center holes. Where should I put them. Is there also any other adjustment that can make it turn sharper?

does it turn more in one side than the other? if yes then re-adjust the servo horn.

it seems like it turns more the left than the right but only a very little difference. What do mean my adjusting the servo horn?

I feel stupid asking that but my mind is blank.

take the steering servo horn out, then turn the radio and truck on, make sure the steering servo is on the center position while it's on, also try to put the setting of the steering servo in the radio on default, then put the front wheels in the center and without moving them just screw back the servo horn, then start making adjustments with the EPA in the radio (End Point Adjustment).

I hope I explained myself well, I'm from Mexico and still having trouble with english

oh, you mean the servo arm. that is what I call it. The arm that screws onto the servo. I already did what you said. I first put the car on with the horn off and I have my steering trim set at 0 or nuetral (straight ahead.) made sure the wheels were straight and then put the horn on and adjusted from there but I did not have to adjust. It was perfect and the wheels were straight. Any idea on the holes on the steering plate.

I have a jr650 servo on it. I do have a long servo horn it but now that I think about it I do not have the steering arm on the top hole of the horn, I have it I think one up from the bottom so if I put it on the top hole it would turn the wheels more even with the servo turning the same amount! DUH!

I will have to try that. Thanks for the idea. Any other ideas in case does not work which I think it will.

I was wondering why it did not turn like I though when all the mags said it was like a buggy. It did feel like a buggy driving it except for the steering.

Well I moved the arm up to the highest hole on the servo horn and the wheels do turn more than they did before but I did not get a chance to drive it yet. Does anyone still know anything about he 3 adjustment holes on the steering plate and which hole to put it the steering arms in? I have them set in the middle hole for now.
