Default RE: the hyper st PRO thread!

ORIGINAL: jaywax

I had another successful weekend of racing with the Hyper ST Pro. The truck turns on a dime and handles the rough stuff very well. I switched to a 13t clutch bell to give me a little more torque. Our track is big, but is has a lot of jumps coming out of tight turns with little run up. I had only a few minor problems. I did not put loc-tite on my wing mount screws and on my turn buckle screw that goes into the steering knuckle. They came loose, but were fixed immediately. This truck is really solid and is an excellent racer. I am curently running 7/10/3 in my diffs. Also, I have switched my brakes to WRD2 Carbon Fiber. They have great breaking power. Here is the link.

p.s.
The LRP Z.28R is a champ.

I really want to buy a Hyper ST pro.....I really wonder how it handles side by side with my Mugen... I find my Mugen to be floaty feeling and I have never quite gotten used to its characteristics...The mugen really needs to be thrown around to handle well, and i'm moe of a technical driver...From reports the ST pro is sharper handling then the 5T..... As well I am under the beleif the Hyper ST is easier to setup and dial in then the Mugen.... Apparently the Hyper Buggies were very easy to setup for newer racers..... I am good with motors, but chassis setup and handling i am pretty lost most of the time.....
