Hyper 9E

[Marvin]

According to the speed calculator, you are geared for 41.7 mph, when the Lipo is at nominal voltage (3.7V/cell), though when at 4.2V/cell, the speed is at 47.3mph.

I would say you are slightly overgeared. Try dropping to a 13T pinion instead.

Or, with the 1600, try a 15T pinion, these both get you to about 39 mph on 18.5V, and just under 45 on 21V.

I always gear for just under 40mph (like 38-39) when at 3.7V/cell, and my Medusa is so cool, I could put my hand onto it for ages, and it would be fine.

Ran the buggy today with the 36-70mm 1600kv motor, 5s., 14/40. Was absolutley amazing to run. Speed, torque and run time were exceptional. Temps were down quite a bit too, 140-150 degrees on the motor, ESC and battery just warm. Now if I were only a much better driver this thing would be unstoppable.

I've always liked Ofna/Hobao products and now I will only run their stuff. How cool would it be to see them do a Hyper 9-Te?

What differences are there suspension vice between the hyper 9/9e and the ST ?
Other than the wheels
Could I just get the 9e and different A-arms and gear for the bigger wheels ?

No, it's a completely different design to any of the previous Hypers (including the ST). There's no way that putting the truck arms on would work, as the c-hubs and knuckles are not anywhere near the same design.

Sorry

Ooh okay
How wide are the Hyper buggy hex to hex compared to the ST ?
I can't seem to find any exploded PDF drawings of the two

[Marvin]

Buggy width is about 310mm. The ST is about 430mm wide, they are not even close.

Here are two pdfs:

Ah, got you back for my useless google searches earlier!
