So what other rims will work with OEM fit for the Hyper ST PRO? And what offset?

I have Losi LPR wheels with 1/2" offset and Pro-line LPR holeshot tires. Bolt right up. Also cheaper then buying the regular MT wheels and MTR crimefighter tires from Pro-line.

would these work together for my hyper st?

PERFECT. The bow ties or the crimefighters are great. I have the holeshots tires but are really only good a groomed tracks for me.

Bolt right up perfectly and you will notice a BIG difference in handling over the stock tires and wheels.

Yay! finally cracked the gearbox open.

Cant see anything immediatley wrong which would cause the CVD to stop? Can your expert eyes spy the problem?

How do I tell if its shimmed right?

Cheers
If its binding up you would need to put a shim on the outside of the bearing opposite side to the crown gear. To push the crown away from the pinion.
Once you have done this put the diff case back together and screw the 4 large screws in and see if it still binds. If it does try another shim. Its trail and error till the diff spins freely.

ok, i got the hyper 8.5 c-hubs with 18, 20 and 22 degree adjstments. what does this angle on the steering do. i started with the 18 degrees and it looks like the outside tire turns way more than the inside tire. i'll have to see how it goes on the track. i just had to mod the inside of the arm so it would reach full down travel, the c-hub was rubbing a bit.

anybody? i guess trial and error then.

Sorry, I am not that technical with my stuff yet to help you out with this. I am still going by eye with my adjustments and trying them out.

RE: the hyper st PRO thread!
 
Just to let you guys know I found a set of foams that are stiffer than stock that will fit your stock ST-PRO wheels and tires. The stock set of foams is not molded and is way too soft and nobody makes a set of LPR foams seperately. My LHS is closing shop and has everything 50% off so I got a set of OFNA part# 81101 foams just to see if they would fit and if I had to shave them down to fit. Well I put them on and they work. It is a tight fit but if you work the foam and the tire it will go on. Now the stock wheels are tires are much stiffer and should handle better too.

RE: the hyper st PRO thread!
 
i used the proline ones, bit tight but work perfect. the 18 degree c-hub is making the outside tire turn more because i was running 2 degree toe-in in the front. now i can use some toe out and have a bit more control coming out of the turns, sweet. had the st out in a mudded up track and it ate up the clutch shoes, locked up on the third tank. gonna switch to the stock wheel and shoes and see how that goes.

Hi All,

At my brother-in-laws so I am logged in on his account. I got my Hyper ST Pro all setup with a JR 9000t for the steering servo and a JR 9000s for the throttle/brake servo. The stock servo arm for the Throttle that came with the kit is a futaba spline fit. I noticed, the hardway, that the servo arm is elevated on one side so the brake throttle linkages don't hit the servo box. My question is what other servo arm can I use with the JR splines? I got a Dynamite aluminum servo arm with both sides but it wasn't elevated on the one side and that is how I found this out.

Other then that the kit came together nicely. You can see Habao put some thought into this as this is some beefy truggy.

Thxs all,

Spikeitaudi

Anybody have problems with braking on there hypers. I have a PRO kit and my friend a RTR and the brakes always fade about half tank through a run and feel like they do not work anymore and cannot control the car in the air over jumps. If I let the car sit about 15 minutes then it has brakes again on my PRO but my friends RTR always has to be adjusted after sitting. I cannot even adjust the brakes to work right after they fade, adjust does nothing. Do you think it is just the servo not being strong enough. We are both running a spektrum 590 with 80oz of torque for the throttle and brakes. We both have spektrums and I know how to adjust the settings on them correctly because I have no problems with brakes at all with my ST-RR and Monsoon and buggies I have, just the HYPER!!! It is really starting to annoy us[sm=48_48.gif][sm=48_48.gif][sm=48_48.gif][sm=48_48.gif]

Hey Muggy. You must have shown up when I was in the bath room or something. I was there the whole time too becaue it was at my house. LOL

spikeitaudi 01-20-2008 07:29 PM

RE: the hyper st PRO thread!
 
80oz of torque isn't that much but I use the same on my revo and it provides plenty on my revo with front and rear brake. Now on the hyper ST I don't know. That is why I went with the JR9000s. Didn't want to worry about that.

zJatoRad 01-20-2008 07:36 PM

RE: the hyper st PRO thread!
 
the servo is not very strong but the hyper has breaking problems, my uncle's ST PRO doesn't brake at all with adjustments and he's using a Hitec 625MG (around 95oz of torque), but my dads Race Roller brakes perfectly, but he's using this: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/13087 and he's also using a Hitec 5625MG (130oz torque) He ran a 30 min main at our track without loosing any brake power.

vnmsgt 01-20-2008 08:08 PM

RE: the hyper st PRO thread!
 
I do run a hitec 645MG on my kyosho with 140oz. I have a couple of extra's and also a extra JR650 servo I could use and see if that helps. I hope so. It sucks running awesome for a couple of laps and then look like a total retard off jumps and stuff when I cannot control it anymore:D

spikeitaudi 01-20-2008 08:35 PM

RE: the hyper st PRO thread!
 
I just can't imagine the brakes being that bad, but I guess I will find out when I get it out on the track. Whenever we thaw out here in the northeast :)

vnmsgt 01-20-2008 09:15 PM

RE: the hyper st PRO thread!
 
They ARE that bad. I have never had this bad of a brake problem on anything I have ever owned yet! Other than that it has been an awesome truggy!

j_blaze 01-20-2008 09:41 PM

RE: the hyper st PRO thread!
 
i can't complain about the braking, don't brake much. i just use a little rear drag brake, full brake is only to bring the nose down, no issues yet. the truck fly's so good already, with just the little drag brake i still have to give it gas at the bottom to even it with the landing. still lovi'n the hyper, plus mine is the only one out here:D so far.
