Barry, I tell ya what would make me happy, short of impounding ALL radios at ALL races, would be to buy Hyperdrive front bumpers by the lot! LOL You're a good man, Barry and thanks for turning out a quality product! OHHH, I know what I need! Either a front bumper like they run on those fighting robots or one made of solid steel! Maybe an new production idea? LOL

I've got a weird (weird for me) problem. To get my toe set correctly, I've managed to completely bottom out the adjustment on the rf which in turn has left my rf arm sitting cockeyed. And on the lf, the thing is adjusted so far out that the ball cups are barely hanging on. So no doubt, my caster is probably something stupid. But I'm not sure how to correct it.

Awesome, Joe & Barry. This is the kind of response that is expected from a reputable company such as Hyperdrive. Way to go.

Hey Lisa,

I do not think you have your servo mounted properly. I have posted some pics of how we install the servo to give you an idea of the tie rod angle and such.

I just wanted to say thanks to Joe and Barry Hill at hyperdrive for making an awesome car, I used my SSE pro 2 and got my first 42 lap run and first win at classic hobbies asphalt track. Thanks guys!


Joel Biro

Concrates Joel! Glad to see that you are running good!

brooks

Thanks Brooks, you need to come up here and race, no caps though lol

erock-didnt make it to track tonight!! I'll send your shades on Thursday!!

Ray

Question, I have the finishline spring steel t-plate w/ the short arms on the back of the plate . How is this t-plate mounted? there is a real short arm on one side and a little bit longer arm on the other. (this is the offset plate). dose the longer arm go to the left of the car or theright of the car?

Tony, that looks like the way I have mine mounted.......but I'll take another look tomorrow and see if maybe something is wrong. Could be.....someone turned a radio on and I'm lucky to still have a chassis in one piece!

Hey Lisa,

One thing to remember when installing your servo is to make sure the servo saver is lined up with the 3rd body mount hole in the chassis. If this is done then your tie rods should be really close. Also make sure the servo saver is straight/up and down. If the servo or servo saver are not straight then that may lead to you tie rod problems. If you run a split caster (4 RF and 2 LF) the right side tie rod will always be just a tick longer. The more caster you run the more toe out will increase. So you will have to re-adjust your toe.

If you have any other questions just holla'.....................

Hey BigDog,

If the t-plate has 2 short arms then the shorter side goes to the right if you are looking at the pod from the top. The longer of the 2 on the left and the shorter on right.

I have enclosed some pics for you.

Thanks, I have it mounted that way but I had to make sure. thanks again Tony

Hey Lisa,

Are those sway bars up front?

Hey Bigdog what you building? hmm....could it be .... :)

Yes it is!

TQ'd 2nd and took 2nd overall in the Stock A-main, field of 50 cars...

Thanks

Tony,

Gotta an idea for ya,with these pinions so big now we need a pinion caddy for them,LOL.

The Kyosho is the best case I have found to store pinions.
Then just get a small black marker and you can write the gear numbers below the pinions.

Take a look at the pic, its the one on the bottom left, holds 23 pinions.
I believe sizes 28 - 50 in PRS pinions.

We need something for even bigger than 50 now.

At BMS.....we use from 50-56 pinions on stock, s/s & 19t

hey guys i have a racer down here in florida that has a 510 he is looking for help with a carpet set-up for stock and or 19 turn..carpet track is close to the snowbirds in size and has less bite of course. no paragon allowed...thanks for any help you can post the set-up here or email me if it's a secret,lol katf1sh@earthlink.net

katf1sh heres a link from the other hyperdrive tread. http://www3.sympatico.ca/tqcells/setup.htm I would like to help him out but never raced on carpet. FOCAR #4 will be my first.

help i just got a 9000 1/12th scale and I need a set up to start with i need it all shock locations front end plates wheel base?????????????????????????? I am going to run it on flat CRC carpet

Hyperdrive guys where's the love????????? help a brother out.

hello help me out here

Hey Dave - I don't run any 1/12 scale. I would suggest you email Barry on the Hyperdrive sight and he could point you to one of the guys that runs 1/12 scale. I wish I could be of more help. Just not that much of the little ones being run in my area. Didn't want you to keep hearing your own echo.


Steve Downs

thanks man I'll do that.

If you talk to Barry ask him for Tom Postalwait's #. I know he is pretty much the top HD guy when it comes to 1/12 oval and is always in the A-main at big events.

Start RF 18 spring- 3 degree caster- 2 degree neg camber

- LF 18 spring- 1 degree caster- 1 degree pos camber
- Foward holes middle position.

-T plate short holes spring steel medium.
-Center shock mt long holes, blue spring small shock
-Side shocks mt 2nd hole out on cross brace.top mt inner holes. Blue springs 35 wt oil sides 40 wt center.

Hope this helps.John H (HHH).

Triple H thanks a bunch I also go a e-mail from barry hill between the 2 setups I think I'll have a fast car.

Hey Triple H are going to the birds this year?

I hope too.But i am in the process of buying a house,and getting married in less than two months lots going on.

man you can kiss the rc stuff good bye. lol best of luck

I just picked up a PRO 2 Shorty and a 700 EASE. I'm ready to start painting some bodies, before doing so wanted to know what wheel base any of you use for Stock/19T flat carpet oval racing (I run tracks usually a little smaller than Snowbirds)?. My old chassis I ran about 10.5".

Do most of you deliberately mount your bodies forward or towards the back to adjust downforce on the front wheels or pretty much use the body template for the front wheel placement?
Thx
Tom

Hyperdrive TQed and Won Stock..With Jody Miller at the wheel ...With a New Track Record ...And TQed and wins Mod with a new Track Record with Jeff Helms at the wheel ...And wins 19turn with Steve Downs ...Good Job Guys ..

Congrats to Jeff and Jody. And a big thanks to Barrry and Joe Hill for making Hyperdive the most tuneable cars to ever hit the track

Who's got the Pro2 "shorty" chassis in stock ready for delivery ?

Thanx

Henry E.

Try RC4Less, Its been listed there.

Any word on when the Spec car will hit production and possibly even a price range? I've been talking to JB about getting this class started and I'm anxious to try out the car!!

Lisa

Barry mentioned that he is still working on the car.......may be some testing at BMS in the future....

Thanks, William! Congrats on the great run last week.....the track was sluggish this week! Are you going to Asheville for the NORRCA race?

Lisa

Can someone explain when to use the three different front end plates.
Outer, Middle and Inner? Do you ever use different ones? Meaning Middle and inner, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Can someone explain when to use the three different front end plates.

Thanks in advance As a general rule the wider the front end is the less steering the car will have and vice versa the narrower it will tend to have more steering. It has to do with the leverage over the weight mainly the battery. Using different width locaters on each side skews the the results. For instance if you were to place the left front at its outermost location and the right front at its innermost location the car will tend to rotate very hard especialy from the center off. It really depends on what type of track you are running on as to where you want the front width and skew set at. I'm sure if you tell us where you are running myself or one of the other HD guys can help get you pointed in the right direction.
