Mini Inferno Threaded Shocks

[Icon]

Just incase some of you guys want a "cheap" up grade for your mini inferno,
WHS has got Hobao 1/10 touring threaded shocks which will fit your mini inferno.









I would drill another damping hole as i find the stock (one hole only) abit too stiff.

Also as the 1/10 shock is a tad bit shorter then the original rear shock, I change the location of the rear shock mounting from the default hole.

so how much you paid for the shocks?

Tell me abt it... but no way i'll go brushless. Abit too exp liao. Might just pop in a new motor.

then cannot tell u about it leh....hehehehe. for brushless, i spend about 190 in all to get it to work, pinion and servo included

try the hop up motor, add more cells, that should help too

I guess max is abt 9V before i fry the ESC. Just did one short spin with it with fresh AA alkeline so that is abt 9 V and the speed sucks. No way it will jump.

Which brushless set up u went? I assume you had to change all the electronics meaning Reciever, ESC and Steering Servo.

190 isn't that bad if it was for the lot.

the BL came with the ESC at 165 (mamba 6800), the pinion i got for 1.80, the servo for $27.......rx i have extra liao. so it came to about 195 (sorry, not 190). battery i have lipo which i got from mack. but that was for my minizilla, so its a cost incurred long ago.

I started this car with fresh alkaline, dun last and freaking slow....

Hmm.. ok... will go read up more on brushless. That might be the way to go. Abit ridiculars on a mini though but hey.. that is what RC is all abt. LOL. Thanks mate.

WHS=Winnie Hobby Shop.
AKA(Also Known As) Swan Model, Elite Model located at Orchard Plaza. Everyone must know where she is cos ..hee... her price is one of the best ard.

HoBao is a brand. They make the Hyper 7 1/8 scale buggy and the GPX4 1/10 Touring car.

Can take 9.6V from a 8 cell pack. Faster, but cannot compare with BL. The X-Speed oni add <5kmh extra so I would not be bothered with it.

These are on-road shocks leh, not really suitable for buggy. Springs will be too hard. Maybe you can use back stock springs and see. Drilling another hole in the damper piston will certainly help to reduce shock firmness. Another way is to use lighter shock oil.

Yup if you look carefully i used back the original spring. But the rear is still too hard as the shock is now a tad shorter thus the spring are pre loaded. The front is fine as the stock spring up front are shorter. I believe using the stock front spring on the rear would solve the problem abit.

So still looking out for aftermarket spring that can fit the rear. WHS currently don't have any.. well don't have any that i can see anyway. Who know what lurks in the corner of her shop. Muahahahaaa..
