TOPIC:

i got a HPI e 10off one of my friends, will post pics ASAP
2 sets drift tires
1 set sticky foam
foam front wheels
1 set 'v' tread tires
spare center drive shaft
ball bearing upgrade
2 batteries
transmitter
2 shells, honda nsx, lambourghi merchilago

used my lrp esc and rz motor in it, so much better than the original, and also thinking of making a jump/rally car. e.g putting custom shock towers and 85mm adjustable alloy shocks shocks

Looking forward to seeing some pics

I'm not familiar with the e10 ... but looking at it I think the nearest Tamiya equivalent would be the TT-01 chassis... with that in mind I think getting a significant amout of extra ground clearance isn't happening, but if there is some "droop" on the suspension (i.e. if you take the shocks off as a test & the suspension can be angled down a bit futher), then longer shocks could gain you 5-10mm. Bigger wheels might gain you a similar amount, so a rally car (rather than a true offroader) is possible. Not sure that either of the shells are that appropriate, but a with 'roo bar, lights, & sponsor decals they could look the part

Nice one! Cool bodies too.
Didn't HPI start out as a brand making hop ups for Tamiya?

Tbh, 85mm shocks sound like a lot. My semi off roader (TA01-TA02 Hummer) has 65mm front and 70mm rear...
That car has longer suspension arms compared to a regular TA01.
Anyway, I'm sure you'll make it a great runner! I'll be following...

here are some pics
fried my lrp esc by driving in wet terrain, put it in a bowl of rice.
put in the old esc, great acceleration










esc is taped down, ran fine that was lust temporary



pic were taken on my iphone not fancy dslr

If you got the extra parts with it the motor can be swapped to the front end to make it a drift chassis.

Looks very cool and capable. Nice shells!

Its got a fast metal geared servo in it, so drifts easyer with grippy tires
Drives well going to slowly upgrade parts in it
Thinking of getting a cheap brushless set up for it

If you go for Ezrun, I'd look for the combo with 60A ESC.
They're not much more expensive but it'll have a bigger safety margin and you could upgrade the motor if you like.

as the title states my esc that got fried in snow and put in rice works now, just need to resolder the plugs back on

the same friend who found the wild one, found a traxxas tq am transmitter, which works perfectly, the only problems are:no battery cover and its a bit dirty
