My Hong Nor Scrt-10
 

Hi guys just thought i would make a thread about my new rc. I got this 2 weeks ago ( haven't run it yet).I will be reporting on all the progress,adjustments and upgrades on this thread so stay tuned :)

With my Hong Nor i went for the castle creations Short course edition Brushless system.

So i opened the box, it was all rather marvelous i send my shell of to my Sponsor ( outlaw graphics to be painted ), should be here soon.

And there it was the Hong Nor! so shiny and lovely ( not for long lol)
It looked fantastic! quite big too.

I found it was a bit difficult to adjust the motor but thats all. The motor mount was giving me a hard time. Stabbed myself with my hex driver 10 times lol.

Running with a spektrum DX3R PRO.

Please comment and enjoy :)

Pictures will be posted tommorow.

Just got some news from my Sponsor. I should be getting my body shell by Monday :)

My sponsor send me some photos of my shell :

CHECK IT OUT!!!

Thanks.

I also had my first test run today. And i have to say its fantastic!! It handles so nicely. The amount of power is just huge!! I am really happy with this car. The brushless system doesn't even get hot.

It drifts around corners beautifully and again the amount of power is just amazing!!

The Savox 1257tg servo also works very well with this setup.

I could do with raising the ride height a bit but that's all. Got a little damage on my new bodyshell near the rear ends :( but its not to bad.

Other than that its AMAZING!.
I am really happy with it so far. I have found nothing wrong with it.

Just ordered myself one of these battery packs:

Thanks

Battery has arrived today just need to get the connectors soldered up.

I also bought this cover thing for it so dirt can't go inside.

Going back to Germany for a while next week and i am taking my Hong nor. But my bag isn't big enough ( i'll have to use my Mums lol)

Thanks

I just finished running this near the SWISS mountains. I went to Switzerland from Germany. It was fanastic!! The Swiss have some great natural made rc jumps lol. Also great fun running this in Germany.

The new battery is amazing lasts for quite a while.

The esc got hot because i added the overcover, so i did order a fan but it got lost in the post!!.I'll order one again once i am back from Germany.

Thanks

Just arrived back in London and here is the bash report:

I bashed this thing in Switzerland and Germany and it was sooooo much fun. Didn't break a thing even jumped a 20ft jump once (very scary). I ran this in mud,sand,grass,and on the road. Speed is brilliant and its a great basher on mud,sand and generally on dirt. It didn't do so well on Grass mainly because i kept my ride height quite low.

2 days before my flight back i ran it again in Frankfurt. And i lost 2 body clips and i lost a wheel nut, which stopped play for me.

Overall very happy with this :)

Thanks :thumbsup::thumbsup:

So i thought i would treat myself before my GCSE exams lol and bought many things yesterday.

Castle creations MMM 2200kv Motor and Esc combo.
Castle Creations 1/8 motor fan.
Proline Trenchers tyres (4).
Proline Renegade wheels (4).
Proline Tyre glue.
Turnigy 4s lipo battery pack.

Will let you all know when they arrive and when there installed.

Thanks :thumbsup:

Hi mate.
Glad your enjoying the Hong Nor.
Why did you change from the Castle sct combo to the mmm combo?

Cheers
Dave

Hi mate, Loving the Hong nor. I changed because the SCT system was lagging a lot of power. That car is basically a 1/8 and that system was really not up to the job. It also cogged a LOT. So i thought i would go crazy and buy the MMM and 4S batterys :thumbsup: Also got some new wheels and tyres just because i think all that power with the poo stock wheels will do no good :thumbsup:

Just wanted some feedback on the sct combo as im running the losi xxx sct and in the process of getting a Hong Nor sct and was looking at the Castle sct combo.

Cheers
Dave

Honestly Dave, Get a 1/8 system. 1/10 = big no no. Either get the Turingy 1/8 or Ezrun systems from ebay or Tekin,Mamba monster.Or you could get this

http://www.castlecreations.com/produ...x_pro_sct.html = best of both worlds ( not pc world ) lol.

CANT WAIT TO TRY 4S MADNESS!!!! lol.

Thanks and Enjoy your Hong nor. Its a GREAT,GREAT bit of kit.

Cheers mate and thanks for advice.

Dave

Anytime mate :thumbsup:

Also just ordered up the 1/8 castle creations fan for the motor. But its coming from the U.S so might take some time :thumbdown:

All my stuff has ARRIVED!! :woot::woot::woot: pics/info coming soon..

Also ordered some Aluminium 12mm hex because of the powerful mmm system on 4s!!

I also ordered a spektrum receiver voltage protector cause my steering servo wasn't working with that power.

EVERYTHING HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY FITTED!!! just waiting for the Receiver voltage protector and some more velcro straps.

Let the pics do the talking.....

My paypal balance has been used and abused!!! :D:D

http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/a...k/P1090608.jpg

:) marvelous

http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/a...k/P1090610.jpg

I cut the side of the battery tray in order to fit 4s and added foam. I think its looks REALLY good but the pics make it look rubbish!

http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/a...k/P1090614.jpg

Just a few things to do like neaten up the car a bit,add the voltage protector,add receiver case,add another velcro strap and find a suitable place for the switch.

Comment and Enjoy :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks

Good work Nasir, lets see some videos of the thing in action :thumbsup:

Coming soon :) Thanks mate:thumbsup:

Today i dremeld the battery box and took the foam out it was annoying. And i got my voltage protector :) Everything done just need 1 more velcro strap.

PICS COMING.

Ok today i dremeld the battery tray to make it smoother and removed the battery cover hole things.

I also dremeld the side guard so the battery could sit in a better position.

Enjoy :thumbsup:

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Fan arrived just before the test run tommorow!!! :woot::woot::woot::woot:

but we have a problem :cry:

The fan doesnt fit because the caseing of the motor is SOOO large it touches the esc plate and it wont allow the fan to fit :cry::cry:

but with my genius German brain power (:thumbsup:) i cut some bits off the fan and made it fit PERFECTLY :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Everything is done.

Pictures coming very soon,and test run is tommorow!!!

Thanks

So first test run but no video :cry: im sorry guys i got caught up in the 4s moment lol and forgot.

So how did it go?

It was very,very fast. Car did a backflip when i braked lol. I had issues with the motor mount, but thanks to some new screws+ lock tight all is fixed.Pinion came loose. Other than that a very fun and cheerful car to drive. Feels to powerful for small parks lol.

VIDEO WILL BE COMING SOON I PROMISE. :thumbsup:

Thanks.

Cant wait to test this out when the snow arrives here :)

So no video :(

I do however have a reason for that.
My motor mount is bust :(
and i'll be getting a new one very soon. I was going to get the ELITE rc motor mount but that costs like £60.00 !!!

Thanks.

Dav.p on here sold me a marvelous motor mount all fitted and working awesomely :)
