Correct Arct1k - you were the guy I was thinking of running both setups! Cheers for that.

This is my first conversion as well - so trying to be mindful about what I do.

So - seems like there are positive benefits for going both ways with the batteries. Obvious simplicity for the single battery, but added benefits in going for x2 lipos. Hmmmm.....need to think about this more I think.

As for diffs - 100K in middle diff and it still unloads? Damn.

I have read posts all over the web about different configs relating to diff oils (specific to Hyper ST mind you). To be honest - seems like opinion is all over the place! I have seen positive reviews (front/middle/rear) for 5K/20K/3K, 5k/10K/3K, 10K/50K/3K, 10K/100k/10K etc etc. Some people putting 140K+ into the centres. All over the place!
Did my head in actually. Settled for 10K/60K/4K for my Hyper Pro. Also bought a bottle 20K in case 60K was overkill.... Maybe I should have gone higher tho? Time will tell.

As for motor protection with the middle diff flip - I read somewhere that Mugen MB chassis guards fit nice onto the Hyper ST, so I ordered a set. They widen the body and provide impact protection as well as higher edges to prevent debris from getting into chassis.

Trying to cover all the angles I can with this car....bound to miss something though....

It all depends on just how much power you are putting through the system. On 3S and 4S the front diff really doesn't unload all that much. Its crazy the power jump from 4S to 6S. Thats really crazy. I can control the power now without much of the software aids in the ESC. But I couldn't track it on 6S. Its just too much power. Though I make take it to the local track and set the TQ limiting to .6 or .7 and see if I can control it there. Would be funny to blast down the straights like mad. Except the end of the straight is a brick wall.

Truthfully I've been having alot of fun with my Mini 8ight. So much so that I'm considering buying a Mini E-Revo VXL so I have that too at the indoor track.
