I was going to try it on my buggy, but a pro HN driver advised me not to, because he tried it and the clutch beel moved closer to the break disc and gave him trouble, so his advice was to just go from 13 to 14 T clutch bell.

I might try the lightened 48T spur and diff cups...a lighter drive train is always better!!!

The cups would be difficult, but I might try "lightening" an old 48T drilling holes justlike the one in Nitro House. it's alwways worth the try????

BTW...I used to play pro ball in S. Amer. (Loved the time I spent there!!)

Just plain curiosity ...

Hey guys, I want to get your advice on something. I am going to try to sell my buggy, but I do not know how much I should ask for. Here is what is included:

-Jammin X1CR Pro buggy with a ton of hop-ups
-3 bodies painted by me, two in relatively good shape, and one basically brand new with Upgrade RC graphics
-box full of over $100 of spare parts, mainly suspension and drivetrain parts
-full spare screw set included
-a spare wing, matching colors of the newest body
-JP-1 pipe included

I will probably sell it as a roller without electronics or engine, but if someone make me a high enough offer I may include either my RB engine or servos.
For the roller by itself without engine or electronics, I am asking at least $375. I hope you will understand that I have put over $900 into this buggy to keep it in tip-top shape and up to current specs. Am I asking too little?

why would it not be competitive here and be competitive elsewhere? the driver makes the buggy, not the other way around.

the plastic materials for the hyper 8 were horrible, maybe they fixed the material issues for the 8.5, I just dont know or ever hear of the car, but some say it drives great, with lots of steering, just durability issues have turned people away from it, it cant take the abuse of the US tracks, at least you dont hear/see many in the US racing the HoBao line, so if no one @ the track is running one but you(that may not be the case) it would suck to not be able to get set-up help / parts support you need if need be.......gl with it though man, you know the x1 platform so well, sad to see you go as Im just coming in, seems like you were good for giving info.....let us know how it goes!!! peace Trevor

you are right, the driver makes the buggy, but not the materials that make the buggy hahahahahaha

thanks for the insight trevor. i have heard about the plastic issues with the Hypers, but i do not race on rough tracks at all. the highest the buggies at my track get off the ground is maybe 4 feet. i am not leaving the X1 on a bad note at all, it's just time for a change of flavor. i'm sure i'll come around to the Jammin again when the X2 buggy comes out.

the main reason why is the different style of tracks...in the us the tracks are a lot more demanding, and are harder on the chassis...
