Not to hijack your thread, but I've got a couple questions for the 9e owners. What differential oil do you run, and what brand (theres so many choices). I also would like to know what body is a direct fit, if any. I have searched around with no luck. All help is appreciated.

For the diffs, 5-5-3 front to rear is common I believe. that is what I am running.

For bodies, if you want something that fits tighter, you can try the Hot bodies VE8 body, and mount up the Tekno mudguards for a nice fit from what I have read on RCtech.

+1 on the diff weight.

Cain, I have nothing on my schedual Weds(clean slate!) I will be getting your chasis done 4 U.

Thanks!

Funky, I like the angled rear arms, also I've never had any problems with the rear end.

I never had a problem with anything other then the front arms. Good to see them making improvements, but I will hold off on upgrades for now. With how fast they seem to make changes the parts will probably be updated again before my racing season starts again anyways.

yeah, thats the bad thing with all the fixes, its great they are coming out, showing they are not just sitting on the issues, but, at the same time, its kind of hard to keep up with them too.

I am going to just keep running the vehicle I have in its configuration with my spares, and upgrade when needed, or, must buy another car when they release the latest spec version with the upgrades present. By then, the car probably will be ready for a refresh.

I broke a front arm, nothing else. Ben beating the shiz out of it too !

I like the CVD boots .

I like em too. That is one of those areas that you know would last longer with grease (some manuf. suggest it) if only all the dirt didn't stick to it.

Not to ask a newb question, but will these come with all new hyper9e's or will you have to buy them as upgrades?

Don't know. Hobao right now is doing running changes pretty much, so I guess we have to wait and see. I was one of the real early adopters who got the shocks that have a tapered end. Haven't seen anyone else with those in the USA.

I need to buy some extra F&R arms, maybe I should wait a few weeks ?

Does the JR 650 high torque servo fit on the hyper9e? I picked one up and it seems that it does not fit to the servo horn.

Probably need a different servo horn for the right spline.

stock horn is for futaba servos

+1 if it's grey

Yep, I stole a JR horn off my other buggy. Works fine now. Thanks

looks purty.

Wheres the hardware to hold the top of the shocks on ??


I broke a front arm last trip out, keep forgetting to order some new and back-ups.

Yeah, I had to take off the shocks to change the oil so I kinda forgot to put them back on.....


Snow is almost melted here in MN....so tempting to dip MMM in waterproofing stuff..

BTW I looked at your album of "my shit"....you have got some nice shit
