RE: Hyper 8 chassis tweaked / Driveshaft tweaked, PICS.
Yes the reputation does speak for itself. I like the hyper 8, and that wasn't even the point of the thread. Just damage....that was it, I almost wish it was my xray that had broken after all of this. Then I could at least defend myself rather than my friend.
I would post some from my xray but I haven't gotten any yet, I did chip a tooth in the differential running it dry....but the picture was so blurry that it didn't matter. When/if the diff strips away I'll post it up.
I'll be sure to post damage when it comes about, Although our cars don't break much. I have an awesome airplane crash video, but its over 300 megs!
46u, you seem to be the type of person that even if proved wrong, still wouldn't agree. This isn't the case, nor can it be proved. I'm sorry man, I'm not trying to hide anything from some guy on the internet by editing my post. What the hell do you think the edit button is for???? editing. If I thought hyper 8s were junk, I would tell you to your face. Since I don't, we haven't to worry do we?

yes, more pictures of carnage ridden buggies would be great... actually i should have a few pics of a certain 'caster zx1' and a 'wretched gs avenger' that are really true to form, bent chassis,broken wing mounts, snapped rear diff mounts, broken servo horns, this list could go on for ever.
what you think fingaz? the gs after-picture after a "bazooka" slamimng into it at full speed would have been good, or perhaps the caster when a gs was thru with it at full throttle, we're gonna have to have a camera handy at the next meet, even a hyper 7 might make it into the gallery...

RE: Hyper 8 chassis tweaked / Driveshaft tweaked, PICS.
mate if i took pics of all the damage i've done to my 7 there'd be 15 pages in this thread! and it's only cause the 7 is so tough that it's not 30 pages!!! all the damage has been driver error i would have to say though - can't blame the buggy...

nothing special in this pic but it's what i'm using as my phone background. i'd done clutch bearings in a qualifier and had the motor out to change them. when i went to put the motor back in i spotted this. had to laugh! so i raced with it like that - wasn't gunna miss 2 qualifiers!!

jeez, i had to look twice, thought that pic was of that wretched gs, but then i realised that the gs leaks are far more severe,
i think those gs avengers run grease in the shocks 'cause they can't keep the oil in[sm=lol.gif]... the o rings are an optional extra...
