HoBao tanks usually have a fuel filter copper element in them. This gets tarnished/corroded over time. I just ran into this issue after reviving my hyper 8.5 after 10 years on the shelf...

Bought my god son an arrma Senton 3s. We have had a good bit of fun with it so I decided to revive my old hyper 8.5 nitro buggy.

Getting back into the swing of it right now. Been trying to dial it...

RE: Hyper 8.5, What do you think??

As was said above this post, wait for the 9 to come out in a few months. It'll be better than the 8.5 from the looks of it. It'll also be better than 90% of the buggy designs out there today, IMO.

RE: *** OFFICIAL BUYING BUGGY NEED ADVICE THREAD ***

Hyper 7 TQ is a great kit for the money. Ton's of spares for cheap on Ebay. Some of the Hyper 7 bits work on the 8.5 Pro and vice versa (Diffs, Wings, Wing mounts, etc...). It's definitely not a bad...

Without reading through 56 pages of this post - I'm lazy - I'd like to know if there are any plans for 3 Channel Surface Modules (I race 1/8th Buggies)?

TIA! ;)

Well, if you are patient, you can get most of the key bits on Ebay for super cheap. At least, you could in the past. There seems to be less Hyper 8.5 Pro Kit Chop Shop operations running now a...

RE: Official Hyper 8 Thread

It's probably 'worth it' to get the second car as a spare parts doner. Cheaper in the long run, I'd think.

RE: *** OFFICIAL BUYING BUGGY NEED ADVICE THREAD ***

Bob,

Try trading that 1/10 RTR for something you'll need on your future 1/8 Scale Buggy. What 1/10 do you have?

The P5X series of motors are benchmarks when it comes to ease of use and durability. They are some of the best motors out there for club racing, and you'll never ever regret buying one.

RE: hyper 8.5 questions

Titanium turnbuckles and hinge pins all the way around, I believe. Lighter weight CVDs. Better chassis bracing too. Longer engine mounts.

If you live near a Walmart, you can get a decent heat gun for around $20. Check the interior painting supplies section. They carry a souped up hair-dryer for removing paint and wallpaper.

RE: Using a heat gun to break in..

You want to heat soak the whole engine (To the degree that it is possible) with the heat gun. Taking care that you aren't putting too much heat on the surrounding bits (Battery box, for example).

RE: Ok, so...

I'm in total agreement with Raycer X. Xray kits are 'quality', plain and simple. They really set the industry standard.

RE: nova P5XS idle.....

Make sure your throttle servo and linkage is setup properly - I.e. allows the carb slide to close all the way down to the idle screw (Fully returning to create the proper idle 'gap' in the carb).

Get the Hyper 8.5 if you are planning on getting the Hyper. The 8.5 has a slew of improvements that make it much easier to drive, and it performs better!

RE: Violator or Turmoil?

If you are only bashing, then either of the two you just mentioned are fine.

However, if you ever plan on racing it, don't bother with either of the two you mentioned.
