Heyo all!
So I got my first Hpi about a month ago, always wanted one, a Vorza S Truggy, she's insanly fast (for me anyway) and really nice to drive, however it's also really easy to break?
I bought the upgraded version with the 7075 alu, thinking it'd be more bashable and could take a roll over or two, however on my first run she did one flip and the whole rear end just exploded, so I took it on the chin and bought spares, repaired and took it out again, however this time being more cautious, still flipped but only a small one and pretty slow tbh, and still bent the rear shock tower, for what is supposedly better aluminium and a bashable truck it feels more like a chocolate teapot!
When you always wanted a certain brand and it responds like this, it makes you not want to stay with the same brand anymore.... I don't want to go off Hpi just because of this, So am I doing something wrong? or are the rear shock towers really that weak?
After recommened optional parts for a rear shock tower,
And new springs/shocks as she sits too low and too soft. Any suggestions?
Many thanks,
JG
