Yes stock shocks was almost funny to build. I believe Schumacher RC has dropped the Mission FT now. Bad, because the low kit price was attractive and got a lot of people into the hobby as their first rc racing car.

@@B2Humla Definitely a little bothered by the loss of the FT as a Kit. Fortunately parts are still available, not that it breaks all that often. It's a sturdy platform when used appropriately. Plus I purchased a myriad of spares when I bought the kit. I'm pleasantly surprised how durable it has proven to be.

It's a sweet little car 😊

I used only the stock engine and pinion. It ran good with the right glow plug. I later converted it to electric, but I sold it later. Today I got a Serpent SRX8 1/8 nitro buggy. Will post some more nitro videos later when I got time. Also a Mugen 1/8 track nitro and a Serpent 1/8 GT nitro I will test this summer I hope.

@@B2Humla sweet I’m intrested in the serpent aswell will be good to see some up close vids of it fella. Happy bashing

Thanks. Will test new layout next time. This location is in use so we cant make a permanent rc track there.

@@B2Humla Of course. I understood. I meant making a circuit using chalk and cones, like you did. I was just advising how to improve the circuit for the 1/8 car. It needs speed (and the aerodynamic downforce that comes from it) to work well. At low speeds, it is very hard to control. It has very little grip. Once it gets up to speed it turns and brakes much better.

Not sure what you mean, but thanks anyway.

Thanks. I just hope the videos can be of some help to others.

I love rally cars. Had a HPI WR8 some time ago. For rally and some off-road I maybe prefer a short-course type of car. They also got some bigger wheels. Like the Team Associated Pro4 SC10 or a Traxxas Slash 4WD.

Close to city Bergen, in Norway.

Some stiffer (higher shore grade) rubber tires is used outdoor on asphalt. So I guess the part number can be the same, just the shore grade is different. Indoor on carpet shore 28 is common, with tire additive. Outdoor stiffer rubber so about shore 32-34. Depends on temperature and some heat up the rubber before the race. Additive may be used if the race rules permit it. This video has some tire part numbers, see description th-cam.com/video/7qSoaO2ezbk/w-d-xo.html

GRP GTH03-XM3 or some GRP rain tires if more grip is needed.

It's running ok, and tuned for high speed (lean). I like the sound, nitro engines scream 👍

Thanks

Yes and no belts so can drive it on street roads also

Yup@@B2Humla

Any issues with fitting that Body?

Thanks 😁

Excellent car. Just buy some spare belts end pulleys. Small rocks can break both belts and pulleys.

I bought the 989E for 50% of new price just before the 990e came out.

Thanks!

Yes but I had to test it anyway 🚀

That is a steal! Hard to find spare parts to this car so drive it carefully :)

@@B2Humla i havet spare parts going in The buying process

About 3.85v each cell, so storage voltage. With 8000mah batteries.

@@B2Humla ok kool thanks

The tone is good, the frets not perfect but ok. Intonation is ok. I believe a used Ibanez Jem Prestige or Premium is maybe better buy, but I wanted the Jem777 look for a low price.

@@B2Humla ok then thank u

Sold long time ago as I am now more doing racing, onroad or buggy.

Hi. All good. For the price I still think the neck is good. But quality control from China is not always great. 👍

Thanks. Nice if it can help some. I just show my experience with the RC hobby.

No I first used engine warner. Then start and let it idle to about 80 degrees Celsius. Then run slow for a few minutes until about 100 degrees Celsius where the engine can be tuned.

Agree. I've also seen the contacts almost come off while driving. So agree that the safest thing is to solder straight on.

@@B2Humla I learned the hard way 😂

I had trouble to get the engine to run good, because I used wrong glow plug. But later with correct glow plug it did drive good. I have a few videos later where I drive it more. But it is converted to electric now. Sometimes I drive like a baby, that is also legal 😀

@@B2Humla Found them and have ordered a few things ! Thanks for your reply 👍

Yes is looks to be a good car for a good price. I just uploaded a new video, electronics is now in the car. Have to wait for some warmer and better weather before I can do some speed test and driving.

I use air filter all the time. I used what HPI call the new and some better airfilter, but I did not notice that big difference. The car runs excellent with this 4.6/.28 HPI engine.

Thanks! I did find out the internal ratio so that was why I deleted the message. Will soon build my HoBao VTE and start racing 👍

@@B2Humla ok, i have the manual here and just had to look it up.

@@BlackMetalRC85 My Hobao Hyper VSE on a 23t pinion on 5s its at 90mph on 6s 126mph

@@twilliamrc4wd thats not bad.

The VS2 with the big long black HoBao 2000 kv brushless motor and with the provided hobbywing 150 amp ESC on 6S can hit 60 mph stock out of the box .
