HPI Cup Racer 入手!

上星期買左架Cup Racer淨車，對呢架車都有D fantasy，設計好似好多變化，好想試好耐，但呢度好小comment就算有多數都好差，不如就試下。

架車就整到六六七七，發覺有D怪問題，唔知淨係我定架車quality。

1) D 鑼絲六角粗牙(膠牙)個六角批位好似比平時 "雙星, HPI, Take Off....." fit 好多，有D要用D力先入到，反而D金屬牙無呢個問題。
2) 又係鑼絲, 2.5mm, 3mm, 美制4/40都出現係佢既身上。
3) 尾波箱隻傳動鈾連住 Bevel Gear 16T入粒bearing 要強力加粗暴先"park"得入，但係前波箱同一位置又無呢個問題？
4) 四條萬向頭~Axle shaft要非常用力先入到轉向杯個bearing位，有小小緊相信要D時間令佢自然損耗。

另外想問下玩緊呢架車既師兄，你地係唔係用返原裝油壓？係咪一定要換彈弓？我睇rctechD外國人話好多都換TRF落去玩。
早前有師兄提及佢好多嘢都mount係upper deck, 係咪body roll大左？容易cup?

仲有隻珠差其實都幾順，設計同pro4差不多一樣，係隻牙換上金屬。
牙差如果用佢條最硬既彈弓，效果都有直sub90%，用我扭有D痛。
外國有人換上Pro4頭直用，啱位無問題，換言之佢既頭單/珠差都啱用，換有真係輕盈好多。


遲D再post多D相

i couldn't found on their website they carry the drive cup (center shaft drive cup) or Axle shaft (the universal shaft) anyway, i may order some option parts from HR.

The hard spring and hard anti roll bar should not make the car spin as i know a little knowledge on setting, did you check the front and rear suspension parts and damper can move up and down smoothly? make sure 4 wheels is on the road when you apply the corner and turning, what tire are you using now?

i still searching any shell can fit on the cup racer, the Tamiya mini cooper is too short in the front, not fit.

Any cup racer player can tell me what type of body you are using now?

    Well, after a few crashes....... had to replace it with stronger parts.  The drive cup is GPM's, and the steering hub is HPI's!  Anyway, I've tested the car again today (no crashes today lucky), the stand up shocker set up seems to be better. May be I have used a hard anti-roll bay, the car became too stiff and spin out all the time. I'll change it with a soft one and see how it goes!!

Hi Gavl, here are some of my pix, not as good as yours!!
I thnk I might copy your idea!!
I'm go ...

nice car! mine's only put the TRF damper and front alum. drive cup, and i found many option/set up parts on your car which is very nice, did you change the axle shaft and drive cup from plastic to alum.? what brand is it? and what about the steering hubs, are they from HPI or Jet racing?

awaiting for your test drive report.

我買左隻Tamiya Abarth, 點知係225mm(架cup racer 用TRF damper唔啱落225mm個setting)，而家都唔知用邊隻好，有無好介紹？

ching用咩殼呀?
cup racer d 殼真係幾靚.  車款又特別.
將會出o個個bmw 2002 真係勁正!

攪掂晒，上埋電子嘢，用住有碳試下車先，希望下星期可以上JV試車(但要噴殼先)。

    Yes, I think you're right, what you have done could be better then mine (Tamiya shock).  The HPI shocks are too thin!! Will post some pix later!

The IFS (front shocker) setting dose not work very well, I've just changed to vertical setting, will test it tomorrow and will share some thoughts after!!
