hello,all

had my rush evo for a while now, and want a hop it up. At the moment got:

- lightweight flywheel.
- harder springs.
- better air filter

what do you guys recon i should get next?

Failsafe is a good idea because it an save you tons of money when it comes to a runaway. The steps to hop-ups is safety, performance, and then cosmetic. Many people perfer to do it the opposite way like noobies. Just follow those steps.

ok cheers infinity

what do you recon just a cheap one then. any i dear what 1 will cost me?

InfinitySpeed04

I would go with a venom failsafe. Really good company. get it and you will never have to worry about runaways again. A venom will cost you 24.99 and tower hobbies. There are other ones but this one is really good quality.

have a look on www.modelsinmotion.co.uk, they have a failsafe on offer for 10.50 or something cheap like that. i got mine on ebay for 11 inc p+p, so thats always a good place to look

One of my first RC trucks was an original Rush and I still like running it often so I sure do not think they are a piece of crap! I do run my HPI MT racer and Savage more. Even though it is not really a hop up but more of a safe guard I would go with a failsafe as if you have ever seen a run away it is to late. I have failsafe’s on all my trucks. One run away cost me more to fix the truck then what a failsafe cost. As well as it ended my day of running that truck. Back then I only had one. All so a throttle return spring is a good idea.

Now for a hop up it is hard to beat a good pipe. On my Rush I have the HPI header and pipe and works well on my Rush. Much better then the stock pipe. There are some many pipes out there so it is hard to say which is best with out trying them all. It all so has to do with what type of driving you do.

i would say pipe or fail safe

crashing-is-fun

ok cheers all, think a might get a fail safe then.


about the pipe, i thought about a revo pipe would be good as its ment too be the secret of the traxaxs 2.5 massive power?

has anyone found a really good pipe for low to mid end range?(that goes with the rush)

Try it and let us know. Personally I think there are better pipes out there. It might have to do with the fact I am by no means a Traxxas fan. Just my opinion. Like I said I am running the HPI header and pipe combination and I am happy with it. I am not in to all out top speed as all I do is bash off road. Here is what I am running and some other pipes I would consider. All so please don’t shout.

As far as the HPI pipe being discontinued Towers has them. I do think whatever pipe you get will work better then the stock plastic one.

I have both the Ofna and the Venom fail-safe and they both work well. I all so have a Duratrax, which is going to be replaced with Venom, as I have had nothing but problems with the Duratrax!!!!

ok cheers nice one

The venom temp guard failsafe is really neat if it's within your budget. In addition to guarding against runaways, it will limit throttle percentage to a user defined amount based on a user defined temperature. It's obviously also a temp guage. I have one and have no complaints.

jneesy

i run this one on mine with the factory header it bolts right on and screams

[link=http://www.horizonhobby.com/Shop/ByCategory/Product/Default.aspx?ProdID=DYN6604]dynamite pipe[/link] this is what i've been runnin on my Rush for about 4 years, and it makes a whole lot more power across the whole powerband.

course, i paid a bit more for mine since it came with the header (i have an original rush and hated that stock header), but since you have the evo, your header is fine.

crashing-is-fun

hi again

mrnubs- the vemon failsafe is just pushing my budget on a failsafe but with a push i try and get one if its got temperature as well.

jneey-nice pipe, but what do you mean by screams i would like performance not a car sounding like a hairdryer cheers great pipe

tunderbird- great pipe also ,could you help me because i have found an identical "compition" pipe from dynamite and its looks exacetly the same as the post you did,only
that its called a compition dual chamber pipe.
what the differnece between the compition and the sports??[sm=confused.gif]arhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

cheers alothttp http://h1071118.hobbyshopnow.com/pro...p?prod=DYN6605

the competition will help more on the top end, it's a dual chamber pipe unlike the sport pipe which is a single chamber.

I linked you to the single chamber because it's better for bottom end torque than the two chamber.

crashing-is-fun

ok so am i right in saying single chamber = low end
dual chamber = high end?

ThunderbirdJunkie

My Feedback: (3)

it depends on the pipe, but with the dynamite pipes, i'm about 90% sure that's how it works.

crashing-is-fun

would you recomend getting dirt bonz jr or dirt hawgs or other tyres, i run on gravel, tarmac and some grass/mud.

i`m on a spending spree so not trying not to stop!!!!!!!!

ThunderbirdJunkie

My Feedback: (3)

if you run on any pavement but still wanna go off road, i'd recommend some Dirt Works tires on all four corners

crashing-is-fun

so dirt works for all round?


what would you recon for all out grip on gravel and mud?

ThunderbirdJunkie

My Feedback: (3)

all around use, dirt, gravel, mud, and pavement, dirt works work pretty well.
