Double brushless Hobao Hyper 8's

[Janezki]

Here's couple of my Hyper 8's, one built for onroad and the other for offroad.
(well the onroad isn't quite finished yet, but driveable already.

The offroader:





Running with MMM, NEU 1515 1.5Y, Tekno RC elektri-clutch, mechanical brakes & 6S lipo.
Short video from the first run can be seen here.

Just some tarmac testing, didn't want to get it dirty just yet because I have to do some adjustments...

The onroader:





This one needs some kind of body posts - have to fix something up.
When finished should look something like this:



Running with MMM, Tekno NEU 1515 1Y and twin 2200mAh 6S lipos in parallel.

Video from the test drive here.
(destroyed two slicks... :P)

I really like your onroader. Great vid man.

[What's_nitro?]

Spin brakes..... I like both cars!

[Janezki]

Thanks guys!
The onroader is so fast that it frightens me, hence the "emergency" braking - even though it wasn't going full throttle yet.
Have to find a bigger spot to do some speed testing when I get the body on it's place.

Here's a clip from today, jumping the buggy from small ramp plus few speed runs.

Nice builds ! I especially like the on-road body,Looks killer on the buggy.

[Janezki]

It's pretty nice - allthough it's originally for rallygame, but this one's for street only.
Brainstormed the body posts today.
At first I thought I'd order bunch of different posts and see what would fit the best, but then I decided to see if I had any suitable/moddable parts in my storage and yes - the rears are Savage long posts and the fronts were modded from a part of Rustler/Pede wheeliebar with double buggy rear posts.
Attached the Revo Exo-Carbon wing too...





The rear is a bit "blank" at the moment, have to see if I could think of something.
Also, the suspension travel will be very limited.

Hoping to have a test run tomorrow.

How about a fake exhaust tip?

[Janezki]

Yes, I was thinking of exhaust system of some kind (sticker/pipe), but that particular one might be a bit too bling for my taste.

[Bondonutz]

I agree, Using the LED is a bit much. But the tip alone would like pretty decent ?

[Janezki]

Buggy was sold away just after those two test runs. The buyer was very eager to have it, so I (probably) made a good deal.

I haven't yet been able to make a decent run with completed onroader.

[Janezki]

Had a chance to drive the onroader properly last weekend and what a speeder it is!
Need something to support the front of the body at high speeds though, a foam bumper maybe.
Because of wind resistance the front does "bend" under and hits ground (and tires), mayde a nice big crack to the body already...

Very short driving video can be seen here.

Have you heard rc car tires screaming before?

[snellemin]

Nice vid man.

My tires scream untill they explode.

Damn dude! That is one badass onroad buggy! Looks and performs awesome!

Cool, that looks a lot like mine but your wing is much cooler than the stock one, also I notice that you changed the bonnet grills between the photos and the video they look much better now how did you do them? I like your wheel and tyre choice too, I was after some black Hockenheim style rims myself but couldn't find any, I even bought a white set and tried to die them but the die didn't take and I was left with a set of white rims with off-white patches, who makes them? and what tyres are they? they look just the right size to fill the arches, as you may see in the pictures I have tried road rages and medial pro tarmac2 with the body, the road rages overfill the arches and are unbeliveably F&*^ing sh1t tyres as well and the tarmac 2s are awesome tyres but so low profile they look a little lost in the arches.
