I made this!
Boy o boy I can clog this this section up. I was looking at all my cars on the shelf the other day and realized, I own 6 rc vehicals, and out the the 6, 5 of them are custom built. The only one I own that has the actual chassis it came with is my losi mini8, which work perfect so why mess w/ it. I recentley purchased a hpi rs4 3 type ss off my local craigslist for $ 40, with a plan to convert it to electric power. heres what I bought.
then 15 minutes after getting it home...pooof no more nitro!!!! |

I decided to use a motor/ diff mount from another vehical just to make it easier to get proper alignment of the pinion/ spur gears, so I picked up one off an Axial exo and mounted it up.
I should have tried to get a spool of some sort for the ctr diff, but I ended up making one from parts I had kicking around, so basically I have no ctr diff.....perfect. With that sorted out I moved on to an upper deck. The stock piece was no longer going to work so out came the aluminum and tools. |

good job
I've done something similar on a vintage buggy chassis but the gearcases expanded and the bevel gears messed up the teeth on the diffs I hope your creation is a bigger succes |

Wow more than 200 views and only one reply, what no one likes my junk? Pretty excitable crowd here.@ mr ed, almost impossible to screw up the diffs on this car, the whole diff assembly sits in a mount that is keyed to the chassisin 4 ppaces, then attached with four screws.I have alredy run about 8 packs threw this car without any issues

I'm not posting a lot anymore since I'm not getting alerts on replies on any of the threads I subscribed to. It's been like this for over a year now and I can't imagine it's not hurting the sites popularity |

That car just screams 'give me more power!' those hpi nitro cars can handle tons of power, I'd be tempted on putting some crazy power system (castle 7700kv c/w mamba max) on 6s and make an entry to the hobbyking speed contest, you should have no issue hitting over 120mph with a hpi zonda body, but you'll need to reinforce the nose and sides and add some fins down the sides. I think its safe to say those chassis can handle more then that even...
