Ok fellas, I got the Oni Kyan Arm set installed today here's the pics I also have a question as well.

Here's the front. I don't know if you can see it or not but the toe on the front of my E10 is completely screwed (it looked the same before the A arm installation). It's toed out a mile and looks plain garbage. How can I fix this??? I might see what front end upgrades I can do and see if I can find some turnbuckles at the hobby shop.


Here's the rear.

Nice work looks good, all i did for mine was fitted some turnbuckles & rod ends


But the best way is, see the carbon bit on mine, well replace that with a turn buckle, its the easyest way ive seen

I came up with the same exact solution today while piddling around in my garage. I found an unused Traxxas turnbuckle in my spares box (a part that came in a turnbuckle kit I bought that isn't used on any of my Traxxas trucks) along with rod ends and ball links. Found a couple of screws popped it on and adjusted the toe a bit and man she's perfect now. Tracks nice and straight. The front end still has a little bit of play in the links but I set it up so with the car's weight on the wheels my camber and toe comes out where I want it.

I could not believe how much negative camber this thing had in the stock form before the adjustable arms. It was near 3 degrees neg. No wonder my tires were wearing out so fast. I set the camber at 0 degrees so I can get an even wear of the tire.

Hi all, does any one know of an alloy steering linkage available for this?? as ur aware they are very flimsy and in need of an upgrade! but cant seem to find one anywhere! all they seem to do is the plastic ones!! the ones im on about is the one that comes in two legths, a shorter one for touring and a longer one for drifting!

Also Can you recomend the best alloy upgrades that are worth an upgrade as i am just looking into upgrading all the flimsy plastic parts to strengthen it up and make it look smart!!

Hope you guys can help!!!

hey guys. i have a sprint 2 but after a few crashes and parts breaking ive decided to start from scratch again. i had a 12.5t brushless setup on the sprint 2 and it was pretty quick. just wondering if i got an e10 and moved all the motor and radio gear over would it be at the same speeds? sprint 2 is belt driven, would it make a difference in a shaft drive car?

thanks

phmaximus

dont know of any alloy linkages... sorry

I dont think the e10 would be as fast, and handle nearly as well, but it might take more punshment. personally i would upgrade the sprint, overall thay are better.

Biggest problem ive found with the e10 in a crash it does not take much to crack the chassis & its a pain to replace

I was wondering if anyone could help me out.

Ive got a hpi e10 with Blitz 15t motor,sc-15 esc and 4600mha battery and if you apply full throttle it jerks and slows down but if you back off a bit it gose again

its only started doing it yesterday then came right and now its doing it again

hpidrift

does it happen close to the end of battery life? mine used to do that too once the chargegot real low.

Lawler

Na fully charged, still cold and even with the standard motor and esc back in it

hi , what way is better for drifting ( puting tha motor at front or on the back?)

Lawler

In the front is better for difting and rear is better for grip

phmaximus

Sounds like it is "cloging"

it caused from the motor trying to draw more than the supply & there is simply not enuff to give.
there is a few ways u can stop this, one it to try a lower tooth pinion (reduced inital current flow) or get a battery that can supply more

Guys!!!!


Any advice on What tyres to use for drifting??? i bought some hpi drift tyres but with the 15t motor, when you apply the throttle it just spins up as the tyres are like solid plastic with no grip at all!!!

Need sonme help!!

doe's anyone know where i can get aluminum bushings becuse i went brushless and melted the plastic ones and is there a better diff gear due to that i also stripped out the plastic gear in the diff and what would be a good gear set up what size gears would you guys recomened for speed/drifting

CarGuy7a

You've got the right tires. Just need to work on the throttle control. You can't just blast it wide open or it won't go anywhere. You have to ease into the throttle to get the speed up and then start sliding it around.

CarGuy7a

Most people use bearings for the diffs to replace the plastic bushings. Not sure what size they are though.

As far as the plastic pinion diff gear, I'm not sure if there is a metal upgrade. I guess just go easier on the throttle and stock up on the gears.

Lawler

You will probly find than if you go bearing you wont strip the diff pinion due to the fact that when the bush melt thats when you strip them

Thanks for the info i put all new bearings and2 new diff pinion hope fully it will last plus i loaded it with black grease

phmaximus

"black grease" whats that??
I use tamiya ceramic grease

billdozer1983

My Feedback: (27)

phmaximus
