37 Racing..The car looks NOTHING like an Assasian. And all the ideas on the car are pretty original.

There is already a 6 cell tray T-town...its actually 7 cell trays and 5 cell trays. You will understand why when you see them. The cars will be .095 woven.

Eric,I have heard there will be a conversion kit available.Will it use anty parts from the510?Also do you think the conversion will be available the same time the kit is?

EAMotorsports
09-11-2002, 08:13 PM
Yes HoopD1...There is a very very good chance their will be a conversion. But the only parts that you will use off the 500-510 will be the bumper and pod plates. And of course the front end, shocks and axle/hubs. Im not sure when it will be ready to ship though.

The bumper is the only interchangable graphite piece and the rear bulkheads are the only interchangable alumn pieces.

MIKE VALENTINE
09-12-2002, 10:41 AM
the 1/12 hopefully will bw cut this week. barry is trying to get a few done to run at the nat's at dr's place. they won't have all the features of the production cars but the most important ones. we need to test some of the funny stuff. things like new pod plates and other aluminum items just take more time to design and test then the graphite parts do. you will get the general idea what i'm talking about when you see the 1/10 and 1/12 cars. i talked to barry and he is really trying tohave cars for this weekend for sale. not 100% so don't go flying off the handle if there not at the track this weekend. just ask anyone theres alot of little things that go into putting a complete kit together. mike valentine team hyperdrive r&d:lol:

btw any one with $250 in there pocket just burning a hole you can send it to me. :wave:

For those that have been waiting (like myself) for a pic of the new car, Bruce at www.rc4less.com has the box cover pic posted on there under Hyperdrive kits.

From what I can see, its interesting but I'll have to wait till after the nats.

Do you run the new car as it comes (box stock) or do you use the adjustable caster blocks, adjustable shock mount, and the frontend center brace?

The car looks real good in the picture - lot's of adjustability.

sorry for off topic

i wish the 7005 wasnt so expensive :(

MIKE VALENTINE

TOME57 i usally run the stock shock mount most places, but like the aluminum one when running the short wheel base options so i can still get the receiver behind the servo. since you can run the shock mount back farther but up to still get extra force on the front end. i run standard castor block on the right front and standard or aluminum on left front track dependent. hd will have a new castor block soon, which i will run every where since it will also have the stock asc hole included. i always used the front end brace but now with the extra graphite adjustment pieces bolted to the chassis flex is reduced not needing the brace anymore.

id38 thanks

pepe i always run the 9102 futaba servo they do have a new digital replacement for it don't now part number

racinfella78 eric anderson was #1 and #3

bruce thanks for the kind words and all the help at sandhills i know it was a long time ago but never really did thank you. can't wait for snowbirds see you then.

i think the idea with the battery tray extending back by the cross brace is awsome..great idea with the tee plate spacer..car looks great..george rodriguez..p.s are both batt trays and top plates included in the kit??

Great looking car, but I`m still confused with the normal cars, looks to complicated for me. But nontheless a great looking car.

MIKE VALENTINE

rcer6x thanks, t-plate spacer:confused: the hy0700 will come with only the 5 cell tray and standard top plate. the 7 cell tray and offset top plate are optional parts.

FASTALJR any help you need, just come on over, me or someone will help.
:lol:

some more pictures for those interested.:wave:
hopefully the hd site will be updated soon.:devil:

there has been a few minor changes from the pictures posted above. theres more material behind the left front, to be able to run the 9102 stly servos, when using the short wheel base. also the front end adjustment plates are thiner the ones in the pictures were .095, now .0625 to match the asc silver washers. the battery tays also have a slot in the back for tapeing the cells if you split the pack but don't move them forward. the cover shown on www.rc4less.com should read 3 bumper locations.

MIKE VALENTINE
09-18-2002, 12:27 PM
who arron:lol: ok i'll call

also to add there will be rear steer available. i see that it's not mentioned. 1/4 and 1/2 degree lower pod plates. look for other goodies soon.

PHR
09-18-2002, 12:39 PM
there appears to be an aluminum piece with 3 holes in front of the botom plate in the pics...i am assuming it is to space the t plate from the bottom plate?...no more damn washers!!....cool..

MIKE VALENTINE
09-18-2002, 12:49 PM
the aluminum plate is a support, for the crossbrace. since the left standoff is moved toward the t-plate the cross brace was flexing more then i wanted. so the brace stiffens the cros brace. but hd will also be making t-plate spacers but not available yet.

MIKE VALENTINE
09-18-2002, 03:28 PM
rcer6x the washers under the asc t-plates are a great tuning devise. remove the middle one and the t-plate gives a softer rear suspension. the problem with full length spacers are that, and each t-plate is a different thinkness. .063, .075, and .031 for spring steel.

The car looks really nice, ALOT like another Oval chassis I've been looking at though. Especially the cutouts around the "normal" speedo mounting area. :devil:

The 0700 Car isn't anything like any other car that I have seen........I have owned several.......HD 510's,HD 0500, KGB, Adrenaline's, ADX (new car).........

I am sitting here looking at my ADX and the 0700 EASE.......I can see where it could be similar to the ADX (maybe the L3O too) but it is different around the speedo area.......

Well, gotta go and start assembling the 0700.......
