if your running the jammin shocks why use the mugen springs why not the red jammin springs. i've always found the mugen springs to be more springy than others

Just like with any other form of racing, if you don't try new things you're never going to get faster........So why not give them a shot?
I have the Jammin Red ones as well. I'm going to run the red ones this weekend and see how those do.

What do you recommend for bumpy track ? 450F - 350R silicone oil enough ?
I'm using the stock white piston disc .... and don't want to drill the piston disc.
LHS owner said to drill them to 1.4mm or 1.5mm and use thicker oil for viscosity consistency during final, 600F - 450R .

Anybody sell one piece Hyper8 engine mounting ?
I hope someone make 2mm lower engine mounting so the starter box can grip the flywheel better.

I had the same issue with my flywheel, so I now use the Jammin Flywheel on my engines. They are larger. As far as the one piece mount......I don't feel that they are necessary. I had the Jammin one on my X1-CR and I didn't care for it a whole lot because you couldn't access the back plate on the engine before removing the mount.
From what everyone said, drilling of the rotors makes the stock shocks smooth out much better. I never did run them that much before switching to Big Bores. I generally run anywhere from 20-30 weight in the rear and 45-60 in the front depending on how big the track is.

Hyper8 body is low profile. I guess better aerodynamics.

..... so Jammin flywheel should do allright. I would like to try Mugen Seiki MRX4 engine mount and MBX5 flywheel. Hope it works too.

Anybody care about camber for Hyper8 ? What do you offroad guys normally use for front and rear camber ?

-2 degrees camber is a pretty good starting point for both front and rear camber.
asw drilling the pistons to 1.4mm or a number 54 american drill bit will make the car slighlty more aggressive around the track i recommend running 1.4 pistons all around with 40 to 35wt. in front and in 30 to 25wt. in the rear. i would start with 40-30 thats what i run and i think it handles great.
panther i don't know what you mean by drilling the rotors to smooth out the shocks, but i have been running the stock shocks for awhile and have had no problems with them they are very smooth. but if you want crazy smooth add some associated green slime, my stockers are like butter.
as for a jconcepts bodies go all i can say is write jason at jconcepts.net and ask what they recommend they are very good about helping there customers and responding right away to emails.

I am running a kyosho fly wheel with kyosho carbon clutch shoes with 1.0 springs, I also drilled the pistons with a #54 bit, for the front shocks I am running 50 weight oil with kyosho sp2 dark blue springs, in the rear I am running 32.5 weight oil with kyosho light blue springs. The shock oil is Trinity

What springs and oil should i use with jammin big bore shocks on Hyper 8?
