i must admit dave has done a good job with the new car. winning it in our raffle , going home and putting it together only to come out first race and win is amazing! nice car and a great company...thank you for the raffle prize..i think dave is happy as well? lol

left turner, I am sorry about the problems with your kit, if you are the person that talked to my dad Friday evening or Saturday morning, he sent you a shock mount, but I am not sure which one he sent. He misunderstood and thought you did not get one at all, so he may have sent the graphite mount. As for the shock, we used CRC clicker shocks for a while, but people were still pitching them for the HPI shock, so we dropped the price back on the kits and put the Associated VCS macro shock in the kits. They were the cheapest think we could get, that way when someone decides not to use it they did not pay extra for something they were not going to use. All the team kits come with the graphite shock mounts now and have for at least 8 months.

I hope this clears up your problems and I am sorry for any trouble.

thanks

I have noticed over the last few months that carpet racers are going to the short version chassis. I recently picked up a short adrenaline. What changes are typical to the shorter chassis should I look into besides just the wheel base?

I have a vintage STX... does that count?

hi everyone,

thanks trip

to the top

Hey Zinger, I run stock on a flat oval just about the same size (87-90ft).

I agree with Triple H on most of what he has there, the only difference is as follows:

-LF lower arm position; inner and -- RF lower arm position middle, short wheelbase
-Center shock 50wt, silva silver 3rd hole up
-Pod straight up
-Tires(all BSR) left side--whites, RF gold, RR grey

Hope this helps!
Rudy

thanks rudy

i still luve my hd best car i have ever had hope to keep on having good luck with it

tommy

thanks for the pic

Thats a interesting picture, kinda curious as to why he has shims placed between the lower a-frame and steering block? minor ride height adjustment?
Donnie, I feel the same about my Hyperdrives :cool: See Ya! at Pooler :thumbsup:

The shims under the steering block lowers the ride height.

I'm looking for the symmetrical bottom plate for the 0700 with rear steer 1/4 amd 1/2. What are the part #s? Thanks. I really love my 0700!

0700 symetrical part # BP-7010
0700 1/4 degree part # BP-7055
0700 1/2 degree part # BP-7060

Hyperdrive :thumbsup:

those part numbers are for the "L" shape t-plates.

the part numbers for the symmetrical bottom plates are:
std BP-7065
1\4 BP-7070
1\2 BP-7075


thanks

what class u running down there flash?

What advantage is there to running a symmetrical bottom plate?

Whoops as always Barrys right sorry bout that :p Still Luvin my Hyperdrives!
Donnie, I,m running Nastruck so I can beat up on my buddy Kevin :devil: if my son doesnt get to come and race I,ll run stock also, taken care of three cars is just to much fun :lol:

It seems to me that running the symmetrical t-plate is more common plus a few more choices than the offset style. Nobody up here stocks the HD t-plates. Over here all you see is AE and a few KSG. MY local tack only has 3 HD cars running here. I wanted to try a spring steel one this year and see how it changed the handling.
Thanks Barry! I need to send you some more aluminum parts to anodize red for my 0700!

sse pro2 all together took it for a test run not to bad ,time to set it up. left front lifting a little bit what should i do?right front spring stiffer or rear right stiffer? :confused:

Which setup did you end up trying? Triple H's or Racin Rudy's?

went more with triple h

How much LR weight are you running? Is this a track where you have to lift off of the throttle in the turns?

very tight track, left off in corners all the time

Try running the battery foward one slot. & mabey go one step stiffer on the left side spring.try sucking the left rear in a little.

Hey guys just wanted to give some props to my buddy Joel Biro who took down the year old 19T record at Classic Hobbies last night. Joel blistered the track with a 60 4:01.3 run.

Joel was on a Pro2 shorty chassis :thumbsup:

Pro 2 shorty setup for coyote hobbies ????????????anyone

Looking for help on setup for a 700. Front in middle wheelbase and rear short (10 " wheelbase). Red front springs, blue side springs, copper silva center spring. Offset pod, 3 white. right rear gray BSR tires. Front in middle position both sides for width. Rear track width 8"
1/4 degree rear steer. Track 120 ft. oval with new ozite. Looking for more front end grip. Any ideas on possible changes. 4-cell stock. I have tried 3 pinks and a purple but
it seems to drag the car down too much. Thanks for any help

REH,what is your car doing?Where Does it need to be improved?


Here's my flat track set up.

Wheelbase:Med in front short in rear
Width: front end all the way left,line up LR with LF 7 7/8" wide in rear
Springs:red LF,green RF,Blue LR,sliver LR,Associated silver on the center
Tires:3 double pinks and a double purlpe RF
HPI center shock 50 wt with a #3 piston
offset pod with a .063 bias cut off set t plate
no rear steer
shock mount all the way forward with the shock mounted 3 holes from the top-you will have to use a 39mm HPI shock shaft
protoform hd Monte Carlo with a big thunder wing for 19T and a small one for stock

Bob, most of the the problem is center off. The car pushes on exit.
Thanks

Rod,

Tom (Toledo) here, try setting your Front Right caster more up right, that should help with center off push.
Tom

Also, either widen your rear track or narrow your front track.

Bob, most of the the problem is center off. The car pushes on exit.
Thanks
Try running your batteries all the way back.This transfers more weight,could help with the tight off.Also the Monte Carlo body willl help if your not already running it.I switched from a Bandit Taurus on Saturday and picked up two laps on a 210' flat track.

C'mon now! two laps just by switching bodies.

Aleady run the batteries all the way back and I am running a Bandit MC body. Also have run Protoform body. Thanks

Pro 2 shorty setup for coyote hobbies ????????????anyone
I ran at Beaver, PA before which is real similar to Coyote's dimensions.
Let me dig out my setup and email it over to you.

Can you accept Microsoft Excel files, cause that is what I save my setups in.

Send me an email to eric.hutkay@beldenblake.com

REH. In my opinion...with the set up you listed your car should be very VERY loose, I say this mostly because of the white right front and blue left rear spring. I'd say there is something bent or binding in your car. Make sure the rear pod moves freely side to side, the front compresses smoothly and caster settings are good.

Maybe you mis-typed and actually have a white right rear and gray right front.

Tommygun43, No I didn't mistype, both fronts are whites, right rear gray, I have 0-degree castor, left front, 1.5 degree castor right front. If something is binding or bent I can't find it.
