Having made both recently, the vacuum forming table is much easier to make than the mold

Cain,

Any updates on racing with the Hyper 9E?

Yup, thought I posted here for forgot.

This time things went better, much better.

I ran the Neu 1512 2.5D/F motor combined with a Mamba Monster ESC fresh back from Castle.

Went with a 15T pinion as that is the smallest that will fit. with the spacer however that RC monster makes, you could run a smaller pinion (maybe 1 or 2 teeth) if you dremel the lower fin.

Anyway, first heat and second heats didn't go so well, tire selection was off. The Hyper 9E from what I can tell is very sensitive to tire selection. Things I could get away with on my RC8 the hyper 9e wasn't having it. I am running the Hyper 9 setup on nitrohouse.

3rd heat I ran different set of tires but work on driving smooth. Also paying more attention to attitude of vehicle off of jumps. The hyper 9E really responds mid air to how you pitch the wheels. I have seen the pros do the wheel pitching thing to straighten out, but I found I could almost make the vehicle come off a jump and land at a 45 degree angle.

So, were are in the mains now, I qualified 3rd in the B. This time I went for my soft tire, the JConcepts blue compound double dees. I wasn't too sure on how well they would perform, but I figured the compound may stick better. Boy was I suprised in a good way. The buggy was on rails after that. It felt very planted and true around the track. I was up on the field pretty good till I lost the pinion for the second time that day. Would have bumped up to the A main.

From what I can tell, the pinion seemed to work free of its blue threadlock, maybe the heat on the pinion had something to do with it? Motor temps and ESC temps were fine, about 150 - 160 on the motor, and 120 on the ESC. battery was about 105, and this is with no holes drilled in the body.

All in all, highly impressed. This vehicle is money. period. Just keep in mind that its very sensitive to tire selection. And I think the stock ofna oil may be a tad light. Other than that, simply awesome. I also broke no parts, and I did nose dive a few jumps pretty good too.
