Upgrade/Revamp of my Hyper ST! - 10.24.2008, 09:37 AM

Hey guys, I thought I'd share my mini-project with you. As you know, I have a already BL Hyper ST. I'm going to upgrade it to make it more race worthy, and save some weight as well. I'd get pictures but my camera is being stupid and saying there is no memory card installed. I've set it up to run saddle packs in the rear, hopefully balancing things out and making my wiring cleaner (you'll see). Plan is to use my 600XL, MM and 4s lipo Neu Energy 3200mah, 30c. What runtimes do you think I'll get? These packs are short enough to mount so they don't hang over the edges of the chassis. Here's how I plan to set it up. Saddle packs in rear, motor in the front, left corner of the truck, MM on top of the servo deck, and RX in a t-maxx rec. box next to the servo. All the servo, ESC and BEC wires will be taken care of with the RX box and the battery wires will be guided in a creative way so that it turns out to be a clean setup. If I cleaned the hell out of the truck, and I've got to say it looks great now! I'm ditching the stock wheels and tires, and going for some PL LPR premounts or HPI Nubz, in the same fashion. I found a great deal on some NIB white premounted Nubz, and I think I'll pick those up. I'm going for racing on this setup, and I'm trying to save some weight, as well as upgrade anything you think would be necessary. Bearings? I'm definitely getting a new servo, can you point me in the right direction? I can't find any CF hopups for the Hyper ST, maybe you can? I'm also looking into a new motor. I was thinking a 36-70 medusa or something else, but I'm going to stick with the powerhouse 600XL for now. Also going to put a 1972 Chevy C10 body on it, painted midnight blue. Should look very nice!


Get me back into RC!
