So be careful on your gearing and on your 1st run I would monitor the temps to see what the side effects of the different gearing is.
Actually Robinson sells them in a 5 pack. But I don't know the pitch anyway I don't mind checking the temperature. I just can't find what Robinson gear I need.

So I would like to get the 15, 16, 17, and probably 18 teeth pinion gears. Other then HPI where can I get these gears? Does someone sell them in like a 3 or 5 pack? Also if I need to I will buy the Spur gears in different sizes.

What do you guys think? Thanks for all the help. Will I have trouble with this over heating?

All you need is the 18p.. I run 6s with the 18p, back to back packs..over 1 hour solid hard running. No overheating, not even a fan on esc. I do run a fan on my motor

I need the lower ones for the medium track I race at. Actually its more of a large track but the way it is figured smaller straight aways and larger jumps I need some acceration also. I only use the 4s batteries but have been thinking of getting more batteries... Do I have to change anything to go to the 6s? What batteries do you recomend? I was at an oval track and basicly was close to top speed all I had to do was let out of it for a second coming into the turn and get back on it and it and it be full throttle around the oval...

hey guys does anyone have the 112mm shock tower and 112mm shocks? I think you should go back to the stock setup and sell me upgraded shocks. You don't need all that stuff bashing

If anyone has an extra set of this extended shocks or shock tower let me know! in the market

Default What's up with HPI?????????

They now say the new to be released Vorza with the 2.4 transmitter will be another month in coming. Trouble is, they've been saying this for about 6 months!! I don't know what their issues are, but it's damn frustrating for we in the waiting. I wish there was a comparable RTR from which to choose, a little competition would get them off their behinds.

I bought my Vorza in July a couple weeks before they announced the new version... I was like damn it! But I am happy I did now! I also changed the am radio to 2.4 ghz so ya... I'd suggest finding the original vorza that should be on sale at a local hobby shop and forget about waiting for the new one... I even painted a nice new red body as you can see in my avatar. Vorza rocks!

Dont worry, the original Vorza will go down in history as a classic. Im glad to be a part of it, and this forum especially. great guys, and very helpfull information, and in that spirit, illd like to share a great source of very reasonably priced parts for us. some of you may know of it alredy, as hes a guy that has hung around on the D8T forum for many years. BrianR34. hes got a place on Ebay and ONLY sells D8, Hara, and D8T parts, cheaper than aywhere else, that ive found. do check him out.

Anyways, i need an answer fom those in the know, since i havent got my D8, and Vorza side by side to check, will the D8 Hara Center driveshafts fit the Vorza?? These ones here> (also from BrianR34) http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Hot-B...item27bf78374e

Thanks Peeps
