RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

really nice bodies I like the first one a lot

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

ok tower has the ss kits in stock again. I need to make up my mind with what servos to go with, any suggestions?


help!

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

I was running the Hitecs, 5955 for steering and 5996 for throttle/brake. They worked well until the weather killed them. To be honest, you don't need the strongest servo for th/br. Use something with at least 150 oz/in and .12 sec response.

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

the 5996 is rated for 111@6 and .1 but the 5997 is rated 181@6 and .14 .

with this said are you buying 2 new hitecs?
are you buying a 5996 or a 5997?

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

Nope, KO Propo PDS-2368 and 2367. The 5996 worked well though, it never felt like it was straining to stop the truck.

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

so Dirby, what's your point? lol

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

I`ve just ordered HF SS kit from tower and I`m pretty new in truggy stuff so I`ll need some advices from you guys:

1. what engine and pipe?
I`m looking for LRP Z.28R Spec 3 Truggy Engine Non-Pull & Ofna JP3 pipe - what do you think?

2. what starter box? do I need another flywheel to use starter box?

Thanks [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

Hey guys, i'm having a problem with my rear shocks, i fill both of them with oil and then assemble them back, when I push them up and down the shock oil keeps coming out little by little each time I push them up and down, I think i've assembled them right, any suggestions? how do I purge the shocks? Thanks.

EDIT: I'm using the RTR version of the hellfire but i'm using the HPI purple aluminum shock caps, i've noticed that in the purple ones there is a small very small hole in them (thats how they originally came) and the stock plastic ones are totally solid, is that normal or are the aluminum ones should also be all solid? I've had this aluminum caps for a couple of months and didnt had problems before.

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

Does the shock caps have the bladders installer?

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

yes they are installed..

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

Does the shock cap have the washers p/n. 87545 ?

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

Hmmm, i've never seen that washer in there, I guess that's the problem, thanks GTR.

hmm, i can't find anything with that part number, not towerhobbies or ebay, GTR do you have a direct link of the washers? thanks.

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

agree , i dont know why the 87545 washers are difficult to find in the U.S online shop [:o]

You can contact the following Japan's biggest RC shop for check it out , they ship international.

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

Hey guys I'm planning to do a BL conversion on the SS kit, how does the Hellfire hold up? On another forum I heard about durability issues.

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

i've been racing the hellfire for 5 months now and to be honest, I havn't broke a single thing, I've snapped twice the front knuckles but thats about it. I think it's a great racer.

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

Thanks for all the good info in this thread guys!

I took the plung and ordered my hellfire ss from www.towerhobbies.com. Can't wait to build it and begin raceing! Man my two savages are gonna be jealous of all the attention the hellfire ss is gonna get.

I wonder how a sts d30m will run in it?
