Mini Hyper ST
 

Anybody plan on doing a mini Hyper ST?

I really do not see the benifit of it over the crt.5. It may have better components... ut I doubt it is any better than a .5 with the rcm chassis and good shocks. Too small for me, I may even sell my crt.5, as i never play with it anyome. It wil be cool to see someone convert it!

yep im doing it at the moment..the hyper luurrvv bug

hyper 12 mini st..
monster mamba max esc..
medusa 36/50 3300kv brushless motor..(on its way)
zippy 3s 5000mah 20-30c lipo..
custom battery holder..
rc monster crt.5 motor mount..
hitec 5955tg servo(over kill but hey)..
spektrum rx/tx..
proline 1/10 gladiators,m3 compound..
waiting on black rims..
1/10 vw bug body thats been cut to the craphouse..

The body looks perfect!

Off body pics please! I want to know if the crt.5 mount will work on the mini hyper st

hahah lurv bug! xD

nice ride dude....yeh off body pics! lol

the only thing i prefer on the crt .5 is that the chassis is abit broader and the servo arm and batter box dont stick out :s

Looks awesome Rat! I love those bug bodies. Which body is that?

more pics soon lads..just waiting to get a few bits installed..

Nice, I've been wanting to see someone do one of these for a while. Luv my .5 and my 1/8 hyper St!

Very nice truck:yes: what rims are those? I like them.

Very cool.

thanx..they are the stock hyper 12 rims..

Really? the Hyper I saw off ofna's web site had black dishes......

Very nic! I think it looks cool:yes:. But some pics under the hood would be nice and also some comments what do you think about the car? I'm planning on converting an 1:12 Truggy and I think the Hobao looks really nice!

hahah thats massive!....the stock ones pretty near man. its pretty high (compare to crt.5) and is big enough no?

Pics without the shell please. Even if its not finished!
do you think you can fit hyper 9 shocks on this baby?


they come in white and black....same as the rear wing.

yeah its pretty big but it looks better in real life..the pics dont realy do it justice..as for the shocks..i have already fitted hyper st pro front shocks to the rear of it. no mods required. just need softer springs(anyone anyone)..as for the front shocks..hmmm..revo?jato? dunno yet..

i will post naked pics of her..just waiting on motor and to tidy up a few things.

i think for the fronts....you shold get a 1/8scale buggy suspension and treat that. Cut it and shorten it.

That will most probs work, ive seen this done on a crt .5

i think maybe it was mugen buggy suspension.

Its on the ofna forum. let me know if you want to have a look

ok ...just waiting on a few bits n stuff..

all fits pretty good..it comes in just under 2.6kg's...is that heavy or sorta normal??

i wont be running it till the weekend. when its all sussed out and cleaned up , i will try and get a vid..

I guess the question is officially answered, I know there is supposed to be a third ofna 1/12 coming. Seen it on one of the magazines, supposed to be a CRT.5 with pillow ball suspension. I plan on all three eventually, one racer on 2s, one with the RC Monster chassis and arms (Yup 1/10 Truggy) not sure on power, the last one will be a 4 or 5s monster Built for massive runtimes

Is there ANY appreciable difference between this and the CRT.5?

Nice pics. I really prefer nitro tho but good to see someone working on a mini hyper at least!

The crt .5 chassis is abit more broader. They should of put side gaurds on these little guys tho.
.....the steering arm sticks out too much.

I thought you put hyper st pro front shock on the rear? They seem standard.

Well so far i think the exhaust being covered it 1 pro, but you dont really benefit from that :p

these come in PBS and crt .5 with PBS hasnt hit the shops anywhere yet.

not sure if there is anything else...

Really nice! Where did you get the motor mount? Home-made?

cheers guys..im just waiting on front shocks..so i took the rear hyper shocks off..the motor mount is from rc monster..its the crt.5 mount..just needed to put some spacers under one side and coupla shims aswell.fits nice tho a proper mount would be nice(nudge nudge)..

gave it a litle spin inside last nite after setting up the esc..man she is a fast little thing..

ok ..bloody nuts..wheel stands on comand and fast..need a few tweeks here n there but very impressed..

You mean like this CRT .5 in my basement....

?? what u talkin bout

The pbs I think

yep pbs is crapola...took the luurv bug down to the local bmx track today..now i know its a little truck but man it rips around..was beating hyper 8.5's and other buggys untill the bottom pbs broke in half after a small jump...the other side has heaps of play aswell..so ive got a crt.5 arms comming..hopefully they will fit .(nuthing a demil wont fix).

hopefully hyper brings out some hop ups(c-hubs etc)in the future..

while im at it, what is the steering/servo saver like on the crt.5??wonder if it works better than the stock hyper 12 one....

The crt.5 steering rack / servo saver is a bit of a weak link in that car too. If you run stock buggy wheels and don't get too crazy it's fine, but if you run truck wheels and a over powered motor you will want spares. It also helps a lot to run the drag link in the inner holes on the steering rack. You loose some steering, but rack is a lot stronger. To get the steering back you can buy the aluminum knuckles that have 2 sets of holes. The inner holes get the steering throw back. I've also drilled inner holes in the stock plastic knuckles and this worked well too. In the end I spent the $ and bought the aluminum version. Its been great.

cheers go-ride...got a link to the ally ones?

i wonder if you could mod a steering link from another 1/10 setup??(grabs goaty and ponders)..

ok..update..the hyper 12 pbs system is a pos...so much play,its not good..so..i have installed the crt.5 front upper and lower a-arms and the c hubs etc etc..nice..all bolted up except for shaving 2 mm from one side of the lower arms(where the pins go thru)..

now i need 2x front universal cvd's...

where can i get hold of some??

does mip make some for the crt.5??

is there another universal cvd that is better??

cheers..pics when its complete


if anyones got any for sale pls pm me.
