Winter build Hpi 5b

[Mick Boomer]

Got my heart. Obr 32ss with balanced crank. Waiting on carbon fiber chassis and parts. Going with carbon and titanium with everything I can. Im stoked

I can already tell I will love this build

 

[Mick Boomer]

Forgot to mention sticking to stock plastics alongside the carbon and titanium. Looking for a good lightweight battery that fits the stock box. Ideas?

You might be the first round these parts to run a balanced crank! I'll be watching this for sure

Well I don't think the balance crank will do much other than less vibration. However the harmonic vibes at higher rpms in a non balanced application can result in less rpms in a non balanced application.

Ever ran a dremel and notice more vibration at a certain rpms than less vibration at other rpms? That’s because there not precision balanced. Best way I can explain it. Harmonic vibration robs horsepower.
Now for bashers like us does it really matter? No. But I said fck it. Im not skimping. In a light build like Im doing, Im going all in.

You should do a titanium chassi that would be cool

 

[Mick Boomer]

Uber rc carbon chassis is just under 400 grams. Nearly half of stock and its strong.

yeah I get what ur saying but the carbon is already done here titanium with carbon in it would be more unique I would say. But it’s ur build so whatever puts a smile on ur face is the right way

 

[Z.hb71]

titanium will weight more then carbon, cost a feck ton, and nobody makes one. waste of money to me. nice build either way

 

[Mick Boomer]

Really the only titanium im getting are the hinge pins and lay shaft.

cogratulations . 32cc SS + pipe rcmax. it looks like a very good combination. I wonder how it will go. I hope you were lucky with a better piece of SS engine than me)) Didn't the engine with the FS steel clutch come to you? ....I would go run the engine break in with 1/25. for sure . due to bearings...

Great build
I did a carbon build years ago with all the proline carbon parts that used to be available and had the carbon body from rhino racing
The buggy was lighter for sure
I never did run it though and ended up selling most of the carbon parts
Think I have the rear chassis plate, gear plate and side braces left in my parts stash

 

[Mick Boomer]

Im going uber carbon chassis and all the bonehead carbon parts.

Nice engine choice. Should be a nice build.

Nice one of the engine choices I was considering with a Bart pipe. Can’t wait to see yours run to help nail down my decision.

 

[Mick Boomer]

But you’re not using a obr 32ss with balanced crank so mine is different

I was looking to do balanced crank ceramic bearings all the upgrade options. 32 or 34 or possibly 40gt but don’t I think I want to spend that much on the 40
