MIP's, I have 5 spares

Wheelbearings, I have not taken one of those out since I redid the rear axle with cut brakes.

The grade 8 bolt problem is solved aswell.

As for my diffs, like I said before, with 3mm ring gear bolts, I would LOVE to see carnage there. I have run 3 HP through them before with the jumbokongs with MASSIVE ABUSE. I have NEVER broken one since. They just have to be shimmed correctly.

Supersteering is on version 3.0.
I'm not f'in around anymore. Wait till you see this sh!t!!

I've seen plenty of MIPs killed by a friggin' Titan motor. and that 3025 will make base jumping easier. No more bouncing off the cliff, just air:-P :-P :-P
Can't wait to see super steer v. 3. good thing you did'nt spend 100 plus bucks on a tg servo that is not as strong as it should be

Default Kick@$$.... Damnit!!!


Kick@$$ its here!!!


But it seen the WheelChair and that scared it to death!


Not even 10 mins into trying to program it to crawl, it started making a noise, and it got loud QUICK!

I don't know if it was damaged in shipping or if it was a defect.

One of the magnets dislodged itself from the housing!

Waiting to hear back from JRH now...

HAHAHA, I'll have to hide the 'Chair from the ladies I guess...

Well since the motor is out of service, I'll just have to FINALLY get them monster ends done.

I already cut the mounts off the front axle and have a gameplan on the new setup.

Figured out the spacers, just need to get rid of this headache so I can get buildin!:neutral:

Here is a sneak peek into SUPER STEER 3.0!!!
The future is here!

I'm talkin FOOT POUNDS!!
Bye bye RPM knuckles!!!

I'm sure your motor will be fine, I don't think my mailman likes me very much...

These are top of the line motors from what I can see... This one I got was either like I said, bashed around by the men in blue, (even though it has a fragile sticker on it) or it was defective.


I looked the thing over pretty good, I believe it is a great quality unit.

Wish the bearings were a little larger, but I'm sure they be just fine.


My luck has been the worst lately... Murphy's got my a$$ targeted

Your motor will rock, you will like it!

I have never run a 1/4 scale servo, I read too much of gear stripping.

With the motor I used I would say the entire setup excluding the cables weighs about 2 ounces... its actually pretty light!

The motor that came on the thing weighed a pound itself, Just don't need THAT much power.

looked like a motor that would KICK @$$ in a LARGE powerboat!

Lock to lock on this setup is about one second.

Nice, 2 oz's isn't bad at all. I figured it would way a lot more. I can't wait to see it in action again in person.

Well, Hyperion has let me down twice now.

So after talking with JRH for a bit, i believe we found a suitable replacement!

More on this later!
