Default HB Pro Stadium Truggy!

Hey!

Starting a thread on the "HPI Hot Bodies Lightning Stadium 2 Pro truggy"

I own this model, and have done for about a year now! It's proven its self a brilliant race kit along with the strength to be bashed as well.

I would just like to know whether anyone else own's one of these brilliant kit's, and would like to know what setups you guys run too!

I have never seen anyone else run the same kit as me so it just made me wonder whether is was the only one or not!

Also a picture or two would be nice too!

Ill start it off

Take care, Chas


Of course you may notice something a bit strange about this picture... ummm Yeah Crash maybe?

I bash one regularly, im in bedfordshire too







3S on each side, 6S in total



With this high speed bashing I have found a few weak spots and done some mods here and there, I found where the wishbone hangers attach to the gearbox, this can loosen and you end up with the wishbones wobbling about, so I made some new plates that attach to the geearbox in the same way AND also attach to the chassis for a solid mounting point.





Other problem I found is the front knuckles, they break too easily and come loose with that silly threaded idea. So using Kyosho hub carriers (a few quid), jammin CRT cnc hubs (£10 ebay) and MGT CVDs (£10 ebay) I converted the front end to use the T nuts from the CRT, much better idea as you can get a lock nut on the outside.
