$66 Ofna 8 Hyper already Converted to BL
 

yea thats right baby. (hope i am not biting my own tounge here)

after that i got a lipo and charger. my first lipo and i am stoked. yes, i know it looks a bit dirty right now, i will keep you guys posted on its reincarnation as it goes. just sold my emaxx and got this to start new memories with. DickyT introduced me into his MBX5 and i got hooked. this last sat when he left, i stripped my emaxx down, put it on ebay and within 24 hours it was sold at the buy now price. very very cool.

anyways, i am not sure if i need new springs, shocks, etc. i will find all this out HOPEFULLY this friday when it arrives. if not, then on sat. i need to strip it down, change shock oil, diff grease, etc. hope it all gets back together without an extra screw. :lol: oh and i definatly need to get a battery tray. this guy used 2 electrical boxes to make a tray. i am sure i will let it be for a week or so while waiting on mike.

here are some pics that he sent me for your viewing pleasure.

wish me luck people!

Good score! I have so much rc crap I try to resist even the best deals. I can't bring my self to sell anything.The GF is like WTF shakes her head and goes back up stairs. Could be worse.

thanks bro. i am so anxious. maybe a bit more anxious to get the lipo. i have been using SPC 7 cells, just blew one cell and converted both packs to 6 cells. still fun but i have used DickyT's trucks often and the lipo is just sooo much better.

same thing happens to me. i just tell heri sold a bunch of stuff to trade out for sometihng new...

No sh--. I had one come out of my E maxx, it pulled a battery bar off and the cell burst. I figured it was time for lipos. Got a slab of ceramic tile and mini grill top for charging, and $8.00 ammo cans for storage. Good luck! I'm sure we will see it soon in one of DickyT's vids. Keep us up on the progress. Always fun to watch. I just got a x1crt. Way different than my E Maxx. The maxx if fun but the x1 is badass. That buggy will be a rocket.

I recently bought a hyper7 now my traxxas stuff don't get used very often anymore.

I'm in the same boat as you. Barely even held a Lipo but I am gonna make the switch with my buggy e-conversion as well. I plan to pick up a Lipo for my crawler to while I'm at. What charger and Lipo did you go with?

Looks like you found a decent buggy to start with. :yes:

He was running mechanical brakes?

i got the hobbycity 5000mah 20-30c 4s lipo with some charger for 200 bucks. should be here in a few days. i dont know why he had those brakes, i cant seem to justify it. would be cool to play with it and see what i can make it do around corners. i need to get a decent steering servo first thing though. and the obvious battery tray too.

i will definatly post my own pics when the buggy gets here. then more after its bath.

Mech brake for the front tires and motor brake for the rear?

I think this quote describes a lot of us around here. :yipi:

tha5150,
Nice score on the cheap roller!

Sweet! Hook us up! Always see your stuff in DickyT's vids. Good to have someone to bash and vid tape with.

i just got a macbook and trying to figure out this iMovie thing. looks so simple but i havent used a mac before. anyways, i will post up some vids from our saterday 20 min of fun in the parking lot at dicky's house.

question though.. which battery tray should i get? there is a Losi tray thats cheap, but works. DickyT says i have to countersink some holes or something? not sure if i should go with this one or the more expensive one on here.

please give me some advice asap. i need to order this today. the Lipo and charger should be here tomorrow or the next day and i have no way to secure it.

option 1

option 2

oh and this is my battery so you can see the size i need for option 2. i think it is smaller than the tray though. how would i make it stable in the tray?

clicky.

whats the size of this?

will a 160mm battery fit ok in this? and this WILL work for an ofna 8 right??

Except I only have a 1 story house so I just get stared at...hard
