thanks wright, what about springs? you ever try using different spring combos or is it a waste of time.

Stock shocks I used SP2 dark blue fronts and light blue rears.

Big Bores I use Mugen white fronts and light blue rears.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Casey

What is every ones favorite pick for big bores on this buggy and does it need any parts other then the diff brace to make it bullet proof?

FrankBlack

The BB's of choice atm seem to be the jammin bb's off the x1crt, i use em and love em, but when there is more springs for the hyper st bb's that could change. I havnt added anything to mine to strengthen it (i will be using the +2 brace when my fr2 chassis ever arrives), ive done mods to improve things, thats it.

Yep, Jammin BB with Mugen springs. I will be running mine this weekend at the RC Pro Series North race. This is my first "big" race, though the entries are about the same size as our summer racing series races. The competition should definately be tougher though.

Looking forward to the H8 with FR2 and BB, will see how the driver fares. I will let everyone know how bad I am at driving on Monday nite.

Thanks,
Casey

hi wyldthing

how much did you have to turn in low side needle on your rb s5 to get good acceleration off the line .i have my temps between 240 and 250 .i turned the low side in about half a turn from factory still seems sluggish off the line after idling for about 20 secs. i pinched the fuel line and the engine rpm increases a bit and dies about after 4 secs.

Well guys, I just couldn't get the H8 to handle like I wanted. I tried some different stuff I the car just didn't want to settle down. I took a friends Mugen out, ran faster with it my first time driving it. So I bought a Mugen.

Hyper 8 Pro is for sale.

Good luck with the car, I know it is capable, but I just couldn't find the right set up for me.

Thanks,

Looks great!!! Are the tires something new?

FrankBlack

Doesnt look too bad at all, is it as strong as the crowd pleazer?

Im shocked wrightcs77 All the $$ you have poured into it, good luck with the mugen man. If you dont get rid of it by the time you specified ill diffenately be interested in getting the king headz mount off you and a few other things.

We havent released them yet, but they are part of our upcoming line.

[FrankBlack] -Thanks! Im sure if you order the "HD" version it will be plenty sturdy. Besides that Proline doesnt make a Hyper 8 body

FrankBlack

Are you sure about that?, im running the crowd pleazer 2.0 for hyper 8 pro now
