most dissapointing hop ups ?

[adamskii]

what hop ups have you bought that have turned out to be the most dissapointing ? what failed dismally after promising soo much? what did you buy coz it looked soo good yet also failed terribly ?

for me was a purple cflywheel and ally clutch shoes from gpm. melted the shoes and broke the springs within hours. worst $25 bucks yet.. lol

also I think the roll cage i bought was a lemon. 3mm rolled steel.. now has more bends in it than straights. another wasted $60

then there was the purple annodized steerting posts and steering arm set from gpm that looked cool until i realised it didnt have a servo saver... afetr installing it and deciding to give it a go.. ruining my hit tec mg645 within minuites.. another waste of both $30 for steering set and $65 for a new servo...

anyone else have a few lemons they wanna own up too ?

[Xjeepguy]

RcRaven rollcage.....Complete crap.
Anything aluminum related to the suspension. Nothing stronger than stock plastic or RPM.

[HPI_Savage25]

well I would have to say the HPI DUAL DISK BRAKES!! I used them and then they worked great did stoppies and all but it deformed the disk. I made a tread of it here somewhere, 1 side was about the thickness or a quarter thicker. Worst $18 bucks.

[Jeremy]

I agree with parker about the dule disk brakes mine ruined my bevel gears also stripped out my tranny case used them for like 4 runs then switched back to stock all goood now

[Mondragon]

Rc raven roll cage still have it never used it lmao, hot bodys threaded shocks pure junk, integraty steering plate soft as butter, jr sport mg servo ran it 3 times not even bashing, just running on the street, just died for no reason.

[Cajunbasher]

Just about anything that says Integy on it is a disappointment

The HPI dual disk brakes work well for me, but I don't use the brakes very much LOL

[polystyrene]

probably the proline 23mm hex hubs. never broke or anything, just really hard to remove. end up feeling like the knuckle arm will snap if i pull any harder!

Were they tight on the stub axle?

Lunsford ( Turnbuckles )

Hardcore Racing ( Titanium products )

Start w/ Lunsford. The buckle itself has held up fine BUT the titanium ball studs that holds the buckle in place snap right at the ball end where it meets the threaded shaft. To date broke 3 still use the setup. The only titanium stuff I use now is a High polished secondary skid plates. Heavy duty light weight, nothing looks as cool as polished titanium. Guy does an excellent job. Site F4I

HCR - the only thing I like from them is the titanium engine plate. It's the only item that hasn't screwed up on me so far. Super expensive and IMO a true money pit. TVP's , great design light weight but hit almost anything and those TVP's are heading for the trash can. The old saying ( I should listen more to it ) Sometimes more isn't necessarily better. I use to have 2 complete setups for my Savages. Saying how much I have dumped into all this. Hard lesson

[¯¯NI¯l¯RO¯¯]

hahaha..youre not alone Hop.in fairness with hcr their parts do look great for a showtruck

[Cajunbasher]

Were they tight on the stub axle?

I had them on a revo and they were very tight, had to pry them off. I forgot about these they do suck. You had to be careful when you tighten them, if you got them tight it would snap the hex pin.

[Curt]

i'd have to say the worst hop up was a venom speed meter, total waste of money, looks great and it give you bragging rights, but it doesn't work for ****, i had to set the whole thing up several times before it would even come close to showing the correct speed. Most of the time it was telling me my savvy xss was doing over 250 mph, utter toss!

And i agree with the GPM stuff, its all ****e. and gpm stuff i had either didn't fit right or broke/bent on the first run.

[Curt]

:hammerpoke:
use your head and drill them out a bit

[Maxx-Savage]

I personaly havn't had any issues with the dual brakes they work great for me. worst thing's gpms fuel tank guard never could get it to stay on and also gpm shocks are garbage. also ive never had any problems with integy id say that they make decent products.

[polystyrene]

Were they tight on the stub axle?

nah, i put them on and i can get them off, but if i put my wheels on then run for a bit i cant get the damn things off, they just get stuck. I think i might try to widen them slighly to make them looser.

As for gpm and integy parts, i agree they are below the standard of other parts, but if you compare the prices your paying for lesser parts. I myself had gpm alloy knuckle arms and chubs on my savvy and they worked fine, no breaks bends or anything. you get what you pay for though. I did have integy piggy back shocks aswell. they leaked quite a bit and werent that great. managed to punt them onto someone else though! :) :) :)

[integra]

TO ALLL PROLINE 23MM users......Proline had tolerance issues a while back when they first started to make the hubs....if u call them they should send u a new set of work something out for u....mine were stuck on for a couple months b4 1 of the nuts backed off and the wheel came off...Forcing me to remove the other 3 to find very disturbing things....

I bought a steel spur gear ,didnt like the pad set up first thing,and i didnt get a hardened clutch bell, stripped the bell teeth rite off,went back the stock>

[LogS]

Robinson racing SPur gear and clutchbell..
well the clutchbell is still ok i guess.. spur gear wobbled from day 1 cause of a bad machining i guess and now it ahs 3 chipped teeth.

going back to stock.

[mikeh]

HPI dual disk brakes - Did not work as well as the stock brake.

ANYTHING HPI HD (Heavy Duty) is crap! I got HPI HD outdrive cups for the drivetrain and they actually wore out faster than the standard ones! Worthless!

Engine Buff from here:

umm ok First of all...HD outdrives are WAY better than stockers....i dunno how u could possibly claim that......second of all...."UNBELIVABLE RC"...how could u possibly belive it would work...MG did u not read the Product reviews....sheesh :eyecrazy:

[arisking]

Hahaha Unbelievable RC. You can't believe that they have friggin' E-NOS!!! Electric NOS c'mon. But as you said nick, good for a laugh.

-Josh-

[Jeremy]

I have all hd stuff all around not even a bit of where on them at all after 2 gallons !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HPI_Savage_06]

the HPI dual disk brakes are the best i can say stock just arent good at all it doesnt slow me down (but who needs to slow down anyways haha)

worst parts i ever got....Adj upper arms they all broke on me one at a time and im talking about the adjustable part which is made out of metal...huh??...yea thats what i said

[mikeh]

The unbelievable RC reference was just a joke.
But I was serious about the dual brakes and HD outdrives. This is just my own opinion, but I found that the stock brakes worked fine, and the dual ones wer overly complicated and tended to lock up - which is not desirable. The stock ones work just fine and are easier to tune for personal preferance.
The HD stuff is chrome plated. That is the only difference I can find from the standard parts. They did not outlast or improve anything in my experience. It seemed that the chrome actually made them more vulnerable to wearing out. I wish now that I had kept them so that I could post pics, but the slots for the dogbones were ovalled out terribly and I used stock outdrives ever since.

[Mondragon]

Thats Funny I used unbelievable RC buff on my T-maxx and it turned it into a savage!!! it worked perfectly fine for me?!?!??!

Yea I have snapped every dogbong that was stock, With the hd ones I have yet HAS ANYONE SNAPPED A HD DOGBONE just wondering ???

[integra]

snappped about a dozen regular and HD bones....the HD's snap...the stockers bend...then snap.....so imo stock bones are better....but the outdrives are totally the opposite.....HD's are MUCH better....i dunno how this guy thinks they aren't....

[Jeremy]

I have yet to break one time will tell I gess That weird b/c all my stock dogbones have snapped (if there was anything that could break I new u would have broke it)

[integra]

Proof enuff....those are alll HD's cept for 1 stocker

[smeyers2]

Here is my 2 cents on the HPI Dual Disc Brake... I was leary of trying it as I did read the negative reviews.... such as the brakes locking up. I gave them a shot and they are working fine for me. I did not even install the little springs that some use to keep them from binding up. The stock brake worked fine but I rounded out the hex hole. I don't think I will be able to that with the steel dics (LOL). I am not experiencing lockups unless I apply full brake, which will lift the rear wheels off the ground. The dual discs are working perfectly for me. Have A Great Day Everyone !

[Jeremy]

My hd drive cups wore out quicker then stock(the ones on the tranny)
the dog-bones show no sing of wear tho,after like 5 gallons, I have bent a couple but not snapped any

[Savage89]

Id have to say the worst for me was the Venom Failsafe it worked good for a few runs then started putting on the brakes for no reason and even with the truck 5ft in front of me i couldnt get it to go. i tried changing the batteries to see if the problem was cause of loss of signal but didnt do anything. The truck ran perfecly fine once i took it out

[Jeremy]

to this day I don't run a fail safe

[Outlaw]

I just picked up a Venom fail safe at the recomendation of the HS guy. ALso got the Ofna micro for a another truck. I have heard aproval and dissapointments about both of them.

[DOOBEEWHA]

Just about anything that says Integy on it is a disappointment

The HPI dual disk brakes work well for me, but I don't use the brakes very much LOLAmen to that, bro. Except, the MSR-8 Shocks. (and that's only if you plan on taking the time and responsibillity to get the proper hardware to mount them properly).

[ikesavage]

Rc raven roll cages are junk they bend so easy so I GAVE it to my buddy.

[puckamahow racing]

the worst for me to date is the aluminum steering upgrade tryed with and without the servo saver total garbage no matter who makes em

the dual ss brakes are horrible as well eat em like candy


but these new big bore shocks kik butt!!!!!

[Rebel Savage X]

The integy piggy back shocks I have one that is slightly bent and hanging up the front end right now. Aluminum skid plates front and rear I spent most of the time bending them back out from the body so I went back to plastic. The rear exhaust that didn't fit the X. And the stainless roll cage doesn't take landing upside down to well but I am going to take it to work and mod it.

[]-[0pa]0ng]

Most disappointing hop up: My wallet, never having enough...

HCR - Hard Core Racing. As long as you didn't bump into anything you were fine. The cost was very expensive. Crzy knows all about HCR.

[groovethumper]

Let's see.....
1. Integy tank guard, broke during a very mild, and I mean mild roll over. Body on!.....garbage.

2. Integy adjustable upper A-arms. Was letting my buddy drive(he's the better driver). It was really wet grass we were on....anyway, he was pulling a high speed drift under the bleachers...it was a magical moment.....then coming out of the drift... WHAMM into the leg of the bleacher with the A-arms, left side. Cost us a bulkhead, shock tower, upper hinge pin, two shock shafts, one blue spring, a set of arms, and both braces. Integy sucks rocks.

If it had been made of plastic, I would have saved me More than 60% of the cost of that carnage.

3. Hate to do this but.......HPI Racing Stainless steel dual disk brake set...how do you keep the pads from coming off? Answer: You don't. I don't know about you guys, I sanded one side of each caliper, cleaned properly glued the pad on with CA, clamped, let set for 24h. Have good breaking for about the first five minutes, really impressed. Then? Nothing. Not to mention that the screws that came with it just won't stay where you set them, and I tried everything.

4. Any hobby store that sells junk products, fuel etc. You'd think they'd throw a newb a tip or two. NO, they just sit at the till and smile.

Peace.

RC Screwz stainless steel screw kits. Pretty but not worth it at all. I still swear they're chromed butter. In south Texas we would say they are caca.

rep ya

[oregonmud]

I would have to say the worst upgrade I ever did was the GPM alloy steering unit. I could never get it to fit in my truck right.:stickspank:

[benny]

my most regretted upgrades were the integy aluminum clutch shoes(they lasted 4 tanks!!!!! IT SUCKED) and the hpi aluminum duel disks they worked great till i went to replace the brake shoes and the disks were warped. but everything else that ive dropped into my truck has worked pretty well except for operator errors have ruined some things on my truck

Very true. Rc Screws are the worst screw I've ever used.

[Crash]

I dont like to bash mfg but, everyone else did. lol

INTEGY tie rods, the ball joints became incredidble loose in the first gallon

[AllanQ]

+2 on the RC Screwz. Have spent a lot of time, and cutting up my hand, to get these things drilled out. Hmm maybe I should use my pit gloves I have in the tool box. just might prevent me from slicing up my hands.

[Chris]

Hitec 645MG servo. Highly touted by many for its' function and price.

Turned out to be the slowest servo I've ever owned. Shame on me for not looking closely at the specs though. :duh:

hahahahahahha

[Grumpy1822]

GPM slider clutch, Axial beadlocks

[Shanty]

For me it's been the RC Screws screw set. The quality wasnt there and I ended up throwing it in the garbage. I guess that really it, usually I do my research before buying upgrades, the one time I didn't it ended up screwing me, I have learned my lesson.

[Jeremy]

Do you have a link to that screw set shanty ?

Here you go Jester.

[HPI_Savage_RC]

The worst "upgrade" I have ever purchased would have to be the FullforceRC bearing kit. After a stock differential side bearing finally let go after 12 gallons of hard bashing, I purchased this kit for about 30 bucks, and replaced all of the bearings in the truck. After 1.5 gallons of fuel, I had blown 3 differential bearings, and the wheel bearings all had noticeable slop and inconsistent rotational friction. Switched back to HPI bearings, and haven't lost one since.

[PhillH]

RD Logics dual exhaust, absolute crap, at least the one I got, nothing lined up right, the dual tailpipes werent even close to being level with each other. It fit so bad that the whole reason I got it, besides looking to cool, was to keep the exhaust off the side of the truck and it leaked all over everything.

[The_DDub]

Axial Beadlocks. They are not built for bashing. Crawling and shelf-queen, OK. I read alot of people don't like the dual disk brakes. I wonder why, they are awesome, yeah, I had to replace the discs and pads, but I can make my savvy flip front-end over if I brake hard enough. They STOP the big *** truck.

[savageman46]

Integy titianium turnbuckle set=JUNK.

Switched back to HPI bearings, and haven't lost one since.

thats what you get for spending 30$ on a set of bearings. either get HPI bearings, or BOCA bearings...i havent had a problem witht he HPI bearings i put in my savvy. i put traxxas bearings on the cb cus the lhs was out of hpi ones, and they fried with the ofna alu shoes.

so to add to the list, OFNA aluminum shoes.
HPI polished pipe on a LRP engine (works wonders to a HPI engine)
RC Screwz SS Kit

and for my buck, the Mid tank conversion. i liked doing wheelies, and i figured with a new engine and the right gearing it would still do them, and i am running 14/49 and it wont wheelie anymore.

[Larsenracing]

I have to beg to differ on the OFNA Alu shoes. I have 5 sets of there shoes and all have held up very well. I also have had numerous problems with the HPI bearings. But everyone has things last differently and wear out at different times.

[Dreadnaught]

i blew up a set of ofna shoes in less than 3 tanks. didnt get hot, was shimmed right, free spinning cb. just broke the ends right off.

[Larsenracing]

Really I have atleast 5 gallons on one set and probably atleast 1-2 on all the others except for one set which maybe has a 1/2 gallon on them. They all still look fairly new. Which springs did you use? they make a few differeny weighted ones as well, one is blue and one is purple.

[Dreadnaught]

i used the blue shoes, and the silver springs.

[Grumpy1822]

GPM roll bar and the slider clutch were my two biggest disappointments.

[HopIt]

I think the 3Racing graghite brake disc was the most disapointing for me.......and the most disasterous. When I hit the brakes it just kept on rollin....until it got wedged under a huge metal gate !......I still have nightmares about that now ! :hardlaugh:

[rc ch]

worst upgrade ever was when i bought a T-maxx Never again lol
A T-MAXX is no upgrade at all.. it is a downgrade of mud

[stellerrc]

Integy skid plates total junk bent every time, Integy MSR5 shocks bent hitting grass blades JUNK!!!! Only integy part I still use is the 6mm chassis they installed terribly and were a SOB to get right but now there okay and rock solid Downfall HEAVY!!!

[svtman]

id have to say the aluminum lower arms when i first bouhgt the savy they broke at least four sets of bulkheads the first couple of weeks. off they went and on with the rpms, no probs since. hot bodies shocks ive ran for the past couple years(had to get my money out of them)lol. stainless steel skids man what a joke they seem to add a couple pounds to the truck and sound awfull hitting the ground!!!!!

[rex_hvn]

Great Vigor Clutch bearings - all the LHS had so i just got them i ran one takn through them and they just disintagrated

Proline 23mm HEX - They have done kinda well but i pulled one of them of today and the pin has been moving inside and chewed it out. There was one person that said that if you call or something they will send out new ones if you could post that phone number or email addy that would be great

Way to fix your HPI X SS metal disk brakes - remove the pad completely so its metal pads onto the metal disk and they now work great for me

[Adam1973]

Not done any real hop-ups to mine yet except for the X-type radio box with the charge piont fitted. Will be fiting the led battery light soon.

I had a set of the Proline 23mm hex on my old Revo, couldn't get them off at all!!

The twin disc brake kit... which one? the glass fibre one or the s/steel one?

RC Screwz... I have fitted a set to my Tamiya F350 HL, had them on for about a year, not had a single issue with them at all.

My S25 has had the rear hub carriers replaced with a set of (I think) Integy alloy ones. Again no problems with them yet.

[stellerrc]

Oh yes the RB innovations supercharger. Not so much that it doesn't work but more that the impeller inside the supercharger exploded into my carb and then well you know where that ended up yes inside the combustion chamber. Bad oh yea very bad!!!! JUNK!!!!! DO NOT BUY -10 not a plus. You can tune one of these but don't waste your time or money its just not worth it.

[geronimo]

A T-MAXX is no upgrade at all.. it is a downgrade of mud
this is no joke , i sent my father in law to hobby shop to get his first mt, a 4.6 to be exact, anyway he got there and and was talked into buying a t-maxx, sales person said it was a much better buy, we went back that sat and swapped it for the savvy, had a debate with the sales person, come to find out he had never driven a mt, he was into aircraft, :duh:... go figure.
anyway. worst hop-up was the venom fail safe, pure crap!!!!!!!!

[BiggC1981]

Man i got a pair of Integy body mouints an that was a wast.Went back to the stock1 the hold up alot better if u drive your truck hard.I will never buy anything Integy agean

[Judicator]

Hmmm for my Savy... I really haven't got anything i was disappointed with.
My Hellfire.. Intergy piggyback shocks, they couldn't take a jump for nothing...
The MT2... GPM shocks.... they kept breaking.

[dravage]

anything integy always bends whenever i use it so i just go stock or if possible rpm upgrades

[Jon]

steal spur gear. they cost more money then there worth, got to buy the spur then you have to buy another $15 cb just so u can use it.

[Squirrel]

Im not going to drop the name of the company but CF toe links. They are strong, look great, and all else. But, the cement/ glue used on them does not hold.

That and a New Era Wing mount. One wheelie and it tore right off. LOL!

[SwampDawg]

NEW ERA FULL RACE CAGES SUCK!!!
DO NOT BUY THEM THEY BREAK EASY.


Rant over.

[jmanglona]

it may not be a true hop-up, but every parma body i got ( about 3 ) is complete junk.

[SwampDawg]

not a hop-up but definetly on the trash-list:
anything thats is Tamiya.....their plastic is trash too. My clod axles , hubs, carriers, etc crack or break by stitting on em'

almost as bad as TRX plastic man!

[Scott]

I would have to say mine would have to be intgey msr5 shocks..There would be a shaft that would been everytime i took my savy out..

To this day i still use my stock S25 ballbearings cuz you can rebuild them by simply popping the shield off carefully prying with a hobby knife, clean em up real good with WD40 and repack em with All-purpose auto grease. Works like a daaaayuuuum! lol

RB Inovations Supergarbage....hehe!
better off buying a new engine and get real power (or) in the least port & polish your existing engine and get the same results as this POS S/C kit.

Steel spurgears: If you mesh right, Youll NEVER need this POS either. heheh

Venom Failsafe: I still run this thing since day1 a long, long time ago in a galaxy far far away. hahah!
works GreaT!!

[AZN dubs]

well i wanted some racing wheels for my project savage.. so i went with HPIs NUBZ racing tires with 17mm adapters and CV joints.
im not hating on the kit itself, but just one aspect that should be looked at. the hex nuts that attach the wheel to the hub comes off if you don't tighten it all the way, which really sucks most of the time.

MDF SPURRS WHEELIE-DRAG BAR its the wheelie bar im using right now and i love it if you want to grab one there at the MDF RC WHEELIE BARS ebay store.. great guy to deal with as well and the wheelie bar works awsome, dont get me wrong the hpi wheelie bar does a fairly good job but with only the one wheel your truck wobbles alot and can flip were as the spurrs wheelie bar has 2 wheels which greatly add stability and is adjustable so if you want blasting hole shots with no wheelies you can just turn it around and use it like a drag bar or use it the other way for wheelies all day long lol

WoW thats looks really strong, for a wheelie bar, I have the one with the 1 wheel from HPI, and ur right about it wobbling all the time.
So I think I am sold on this one, it seems like a no-brainer to get it.

Thx for the quick reply guy!!!
