After the first deformation whatever strenght was in the part was lost and the reason you've had to fix it 5 times is because it has lost whatever strength it had. It'll bend back into shape but will always be primed to bend again when enough stress is applied. The 'wet noodle' example doesn't fit this is material dynamics. and no, I'm no know it all, it just I've bent, re-bent and broken enough rc parts through the years to have an insight. Anyone who has bent an alloy a-arm or tougher still, a trunbuckle will know what I'm on about. It will bend again and it doesn't take the same amount of force that caused the first bend.

It can be argued that the set-up is flawed and what HPI should have done but there's not that much different from HPI's set-up than what you would see on a Xray XB8.

How did you modify yours WMF?

I made a jig and shaved off enough material on both blocks to allow the carriers to stop the turning to the left rather than the servo screw tab. This will also allow your saver to work. have you noticed how it will activate when turning to the right if you epa is a little high, but will not activate when you turn to the left because the servo saver arm is being stopped by the mount.

I think this is the reason behind 2 of my JR9000 series servo's have bit the dust?????

Well i just call HPI today. My new arms will be on the way as soon as they have them in stock. Sweet

where can i get a hellfire wing mount kit,i have been to 2 IHD's and all over the net but i can't find one

If you're wanting the HPI Wing mount.....well......youre gonna have to wait.
If you want a wing mount..Get the nugen wing mount, the wing stay braces,a proline wing,and 2 xtreme carbon fiber shock towers and wahhhlahhh

Go to hellfire and click on upgrade parts and the first thing you will see is the wing kit and towers.. This will come with everything you will need.
The towers, the wing, wingmount,screws,and wing stay,

Or you can wait and buy the BCE billet towers.. Lookin at around end of this month thru 1st week of june.

thanks for the the link[&:]

Where the heck are all of these BCE parts that I keep hearing mentioned?

I've been directed to some link on Horizon forums but all that shows is brief mentions of parts that may be coming out....

Where can I go to actually SEE and BUY these parts????

Go to truggyracers.com go to the BCE forum or pm nitrosense (the man in charge)

So it's just through forum posts?? Isn't there a web page listing the items?

His web site/web page will be ready soon.

Some older pics from a few weeks back

Starter Box problems.....Does anyone know which fly-wheel to use to get the hellfire to work with a starter box....

ofna flywheel. Go to www.towerhobbies.com type in ofna flywheel and find part number 10040. Will work much better for ya

Is this the same one that's on the CRT?

whats the deal, i have a blue ofna box w/chrome top and it works fine with the stock flywheel, you just have to take some time and set the pegs right.

We couldn't get my buddies to work so I called HPI and they told me we would have to change the fly-wheel.

that sucks mine worked ok i just had to mess with it for a minute to get it right but that was it.

Some boxes work and some dont,just depends on how far it will allow the chassis to drop and how high the wheel comes out of the box

What box do you use?

The Silver OFNA for 1/10 and 1/8 scale.

Has anyone tried putting a different body (different than the HPI Hellfire body) on their Hellfire?
In particular has anyone tried putting on an HPI Savage/T-maxx body on to a Hellfire?
I would dearly love to get that Hemi Cuda body on this thing!
