RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
Went into HPI web site today and realise that the HELLFIRE SS is been put under Discontinue. Why is it so.... Is it because its not a good Truck or wat?[:o]
|
RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
HPI EUROPE still continue HF SS & MT2 SS+
http://www.hpieurope.com/kits.php?lang=en&cat=n-off Due to the HPI USA also discontinued the MT2SS+.... I think HPI USA will switch to sell RTR version trend ......... like Traxxas. |
RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
He is going to bring to my house this weekend. I am pretty sure I am going to buy it. I talked to him yesterday and he said it runs and servos worked. He just wants out of nitro trucks. His loss is my gain I guess. Looking forward to chattin with you guys, with all of your tips and tricks. I promise I won't be annoying. Thanks for all of the replies.

Check 4 bent braces, chasiss, shock towers and worn diffs. Let us no how she goes!
|
RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
seriously? you're telling him to check for issues for $75??? I'd say take it and run, for what you're getting it for, you'll be able to afford to replace anything that's jacked up on it.....
|
RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
i have a quick question for anybody. how long does the diff oils last in the diffs cos they are brand new and i have only run the hellfire twice and all the diffs are emty.
they leak a lot through the shafts, i have put them together properly with grease. it just seems a lot of maintinance. i payed £80 for my ss on ebay. you have a bargin and parts are cheap on ebay aswell |
RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
kyosho p6 orings should stop the badly leaking diffs caused by the standard orings.
|
RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
Yes, kyosho p6 O-rings, no leaking at all!!

[img][/img] sorry GTR ... steal one of your pic..:) Open the diff up by removing the 4 screws that hold the crown gear/spur gear to the diff cup and check oil. Only 3/4 fill the diff cup with oil. Are the 2 screw heads stripped? If so you can dremel a slot in top of screw and use a straight head screw driver to remove screw. |

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
Afraid not, I just had that one race then got my first Job after uni down in London. Down here there is nothing, and I'm also working 7 days a week so not even finding time to bash! Hopefully once I'm a bit more settled here I will try to find a track and maybe try some weekend racing again. At the moment its a shelf queen on my wardrobe collecting dust, and I can't bring myself to sell. A shame but there's nothing I can do about it yet!

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
I am having some problems with my clutch bell overheating due to the clutch slipping. I have just done the port mods to the 4.6ho and also some other mods to the crank and sleave while I was going (realy made the engine impressive). I have upgraded the clutch bell to a 16 tooth to get good topend speed and slow the wheel spin down a bit but the standard clutch isn't handling the extra power from about half throttle on. Would I be better going to alloy clutch shoes or what would be the best shoes to use? Is there any other tricks I can try?

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
Hi guys, i need help[&o]. was running my hellfire yesterday. After awhile i felt that there is a loss of power,thinking that it might be the over heating that causes it, ibrought the car back to pit . After awhile i cant fire up the truck.Then change to a new OS no8 glow plug and it can be fire up. After runing for a while it dies off. and cant be fire up again. Change to a new plug it fire up and dies off again after a while......Check both plug and find that its not glowing any more. Look like every new plug i pop in will only fire up and then there goes the plug.
Wat is the problem with my sts engine? could it be the plug? have i blow my engnie? am running to lean ,i can hardly see smoke trail, and my car is very powerfull, it about 2turn from close. Please advice. |
RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
So wat can i do now?
|
RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
ORIGINAL: boo_saa So wat can i do now? Normally you will hear a pop sound when it make a full cycle, during turnning by hand, when the piston about to reach the top you will find it hard to turn due to compression. If it fine, then you are safe. Look at the engine manual for the high end niddle, turn half a round to one round anti-clock wise to make it rich. Start the engine, and start to tune again. If there's nitro spill out or shoot out form the pipe, it too rich. lean it by turnning 1/8 at a time to get the correct position. by the way you can study this link as they teach you how to tune. But this is just a guidline, different engine have different character. Cheer http://www.himotoracing.com/index.php?main=faq |
