Yea dawg, you've never seen them shootin' up? :lol: :lol:

ok, so FINALLY my pin holders came in... I went to put my fried MMM in the mailbox this morning, found that the mailman that never came saturday came sunday, and delivered it(stupid new mailman...) I should be up and running by monday next week(only because i am leaving for manchester NH on wednesday)

Hopefully you brought the pin holders to school.... i can have the hyper reassembled tonite for ya' :)

Well, i finally get the hyper running, and it was amazing. i took it down to the ramps down the street and was havin lots of fun crossing from ramp to ramp. Whoever made the ramps keeps making more, and i found a brand new one there today. A 5 ft kicker ramp. So I launch my hyper off of it, and it topped out around 12-16 ft in the air before i landed perfectly on the downramp! Unfortunatley, that was the end of my fun. Later I think the pinion is loose, but it is not. there is a chunk the width of the spur gear where the pinion was eaten down to nothing! So it was time to call it quits, and so I just shifted the pinion so I could drive it home and not carry it. On my way out, i deside to hit one last ramp... but the hyper said no, and i should have listened... Mid-air off the ramp, the front right wheel flew off, and now I cant find it! Im going to look some more tomorrow, but if that doesnt work, does anybody have a spare stock losi 8ight 2.0 rim with a fake bandland (fagland) tire on it?

IDK but something tells me I'm missing something...

Spur gear got hungry...

That's unfortunate.

Haha, funny.
I just took it out, and inspired from your story, I took it to the BIG concrete ramps (in the sidewalk... There's trees next to it, so it's a BIG stump), and snipped the little dip that they didn't repair (everything else is repaired with black tar, except this 2in gap), it flipped, cartwheeled at least 7 times, and almost hit a car.

I was standing on the sidewalk, with my mouth open.
The car stopped, looked out, parked, and started watching me.
I took it back, (it drove back actually :p) and looked at it.
No damage, except the skid plate came loose from the steering cover, so the front was going forward and back, no biggie.

Take it off the next ramp, land it, I love this, have not jumped real jumps (besides curbs) in a while!

Couple times, I land perfectly, I'm a happy camper, and only 2 more people have came by, stopped, and watched me.

This land one, I had a bad feeling. I clipped the tree, it spun sideways, hit me in the leg, and skidded in the dirt.
I felt bad.

My LiPo was all dirty, my wing has scraped so much, there's dirt instead of a wing, and more little stuff.

I was done for the day, did some more speed runs while I walked up my hill, and finished my run.

I'm happy, and I forgot too look for the missing screws.

Oh well, time to go shopping! :]

Since I had some downtime, and ive lost $20+ in pinions in the past 2 days, I created a pinion guard for my hyper. it is basically a plate that sits infront of the shaft so that if the pinion comes loose, it cant fall off the shaft and be lost forever!

Lol, I'd be quite pissed if I lost over $20 + in pinions in less than 2 days. >_<

I have heard of people going thru 600 dollars worth of lipos in 2 runs...

I have probably thrown aways 2-3k worth of lipo cells by now... Luckily most were not mine.

.....
Jesus.


That's a ton of quality lipos! :lol:

That wouldnt even make me mad. That would actually make me laugh and want to come to rcm to figure out whats going on.:lol:

:gasp:

$600 would make me cry. :oops:

at least whoever did learned a valuable lesson about lipos... on another note, i have videos! At the end of the last video you dont see the hyper again til it falls out of the sky... It landed on all fours(like a puma), but it still hit the ground kinda hard... all that happened is that it unvelcro-ed the mmm and rx, and desoldered a wire off my deans. i was back up and running in 5 minutes!

Well, as most of you know, my MMM detonated, and took my RC-M lipos with it, but fortunatley I will be able to race with using some of ben's spare lipos and my MM/8L setup!

keep the thread alive buddy ............
