Hyper 8 Buggy on 6s

[Mister-T]

Last week a nitro guy in my club just got his Xray 808, he told me that it was really light.

Put some better tires on the buggy today and took it out for a run. It is hot outside, 90f+ and I am running in grass and concrete. After about 10-12min I stopped and tempsed everything. Lipos very 110, esc was 160f and the motor was about 160f too. I think that I need better cooling, as the body does not really have many holes in it. I have a few space clip on heatsinks, I will give them a try on the motor. Not bad, and the medusa has enough power to wheelly the vehicle. I also have some road tires, may be a bit slicker than the crimefighters I am running. It has tons of traction on blacktop and concrete with the crimefighters...

This buggy is super agile, mainly due to the weight distribution. Turns on a dime, and has plenty of steering!

How are crimefighters holding up for you - especially on concrete/asphalt in a 1/8 buggy. They haven't become slicks in one run?

Suprisingly not, I have run them with a few buggies, and they are holding up well. I have some road rage tires on wheels that I can try, but I like mixed bashing, and the crime fighters seem to work well. Plus they were free from a friend...

Do you know if it's the M2, M3 or XTR compound? I have a set of crimefighters in M2 but have been afraid to run them on asphalt.

Also have a set of MOABs in the M2 compound and the are nearly shredded after 3 runs.

Not sure , how would I tell? Is it written on the tire?

Hmmm... Good question - maybe model number on the side of the tire.

#9014-00 (XTR)
#9014-01 (M2)
#9014-02 (M3)
