Hornet
Finally finished my Hornet
Integy Mini-T Rear Oil Shocks on the front w/Super Hornet A-Arms
Stainless Screws from RC Screwz
Made a radio plate
Full ball bearings
Stock 540 armature in a HPI motor can(stripped and polished)
Stock esc with: Novak wires, Deans plug, rewired so only 1 connector is needed to connect to the RX.
Aluminum ant mount

Re: Hornet
Thanks for the compliments ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
I find Deans connectors alot easier to solder when held with a clamp or vise.

Re: Hornet
Nice clean Hornet. The 3 GH/Hornet chassis we have as runners are still very enjoyable to run... especially all at once, like an angry swarm.
BTW I use one of these to solder my deans: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3928375
I use them for almost all my soldering jobs.![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Re: Hornet
Thanks
I finally ran it today, brings back memories,
a 3600 battery lasts a long time
We have one of those clamp units @ work, I just use a small vise, but I think your setup would be better.

Re: Hornet
What do the super Hornet arms do? Do they widen the front track any? It looks like the increase the wheelbase slightly as well? Thanks.

Re: Hornet
They widen the front track, and have a lower shock mount, those shocks would not fit with stock arms.losiXXXman wrote:What do the super Hornet arms do? Do they widen the front track any? It looks like the increase the wheelbase slightly as well? Thanks.
Wheelbase stays the same.
