my buggy should weight about the same then as the battery pack is about 600 grams if I recall correctly. Do you have access to scales to measure each tire to see the weight load.

no just a digital scale I use when shipping stuff. My buggy also has the esc mounted on the chassis so its missing the top plate and receiver box. Dont remember exactly how much that weighted.

looking to get started in 1/8e soon, looks similar to what i would like to build, what kind of run times are you getting with this setup? I need to get at least 20 minutes . . . will be running with the nitros

6S 4300mah = 95.5W which is more energy stored than a 4S 6000mah pack, and I can now get 20+ minutes on with hard driving (winter is alittle less). You should have really no problem making 20 minutes with that setup and the appropriate motor.

wow that is lighter than i was expecting with a battery that size. with a 4s 5000 it would weigh about 7 lb 10 oz. not bad.
do you have any lightweight bling parts or is that box stock?

Can anyone confirm the springs out there that are for the Hyper 9E and there ratings? I looked on nitrohouse but the ratings look to be the same for the blue and white springs.

Here is the setup I plan to try next on my vehicle lesss batteries, big thanks lbckevin for sending me his setup:

Quote:

I am using the stock out of the box setup with the following changes....

35wt Associated Shock Oil front and rear.
White front springs ( middle)
Blue rear springs (softest)
I run Heperion 4s 3300 mah batteries using a Tekin RX8 speedo with a 1900 kv motor.
I am running the new J Concepts Gold Sevens tires.

For the diffs....all using Associated Oil

Front ....5000wt
Middle ...5000wt
Rear ......3000wt

I run indoors on a super high bite track. Check out Liverc.com and look under Orange County raceway tomorrow night...you will see 5-6 Hyper 9's and a few RC8's as well.

What kind of runtime are you seeing with the 3300mah 4S batteries?

we run 6-7 min qualifiers and 10 minute mains. My battery lasts the whole main plus 2-3 laps. We run on a 1/10th scale indoor track.

How hard would it be for Ofna to use the same color chart from one model of car to another. The CRT.5 is Grey = soft, Blue = Medium, White = Firm. I don't know about any of their other cars.
