i had the dogbone problem but mine was when i raised the suspension i found a slight bend in both of the bones and bent it back and have had no problems since

AsTheRushComes-my dogbones flew out during a race one time and it's not exactly that problem of the dogbones. the rear a-arms flex WAY too much so the dogbone can come out, so i had to get the aluminum ones from GPM, since then, no problem

AsTheRushComes · #**853** 05-29-2004, 04:43 PM

Thanks for the feedback. The dogbones only fly off when landing a jump and the A-arms are pushed upward. I'll checkout the aluminum arms, but I think the longer dogbones will do the trick. Oh, they arent bent either. I can't find the link, but HPI stated the shiny HD dogbones which fit the RS4 MT and Rush are a few millimeters longer to resolve any issues::::ATRC

I highly doubt the 2 speed will work. first, when you have a 2 speed you can't have a slipper clutch, and second, the 2 speed would only work on asphalt (atleast this is what HPI is saying, i never tried it out myself) as for the motor and mounts, i don't know. I would check to see if the engine has the same mounting dimesnions as a .15, if it does, then you can probably use it. if you can't find that out than ask HPI.

I also have a question. Whenever i just barely touch the boards during a race my servo saver pops off and i'm basically done. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

clodkiller · #**856** 05-30-2004, 11:58 PM

can you take the sliper unit off ?? for it to work because i think the unit works on the mt

clodkiller · #**857** 05-31-2004, 12:00 AM

i know the engine will its a small block but i really want a 2 speed if any one knows of a 2 speed that works on the rush send me a link ( the keepin it clean isnt a problem)
im gonna make a aluminum cover

clodkiller · #**858** 05-31-2004, 12:04 AM

OMG! I can't believe this happened to my Rush tonight. Fired it right up with a fresh tank and my new hpi racing clutch sprung and exploded my clutch bell and destroyed a new spur gear. I can't believe this, this clutch was supposed to be rugged enough to handle a few runs and it kills while idle. Is there any other upgrade options other than the HPI racing clutch? For some reason I don't trust the hpi clutch. :::::ATRC

ViperR · #**863** 06-05-2004, 08:48 AM

That's one of those cheap HPI cluthbells that are made of potmetal. You need a steel one. Duratrax makes good ones. That way, you can still use the HPI racing clutch that is a good one.

AsTheRushComes · #**864** 06-05-2004, 11:15 PM

Yea your right, it'd never given me any trouble before so I hadn't replaced it. I got the 15T HPI clutch bell but by the sounds of it it may eventually get replaced. The lhs tonight said they wasn't any other option for the clutch than what HPI had to offer. I thought that was a load and he reaassured me that if I really wanted to make I racer out of my Rush, than I might as well buy a TripleX-NT Adam Drake since im runnin the novarossi. Gotta love those guys!

AerialGunner · #**865** 06-16-2004, 04:36 PM

I need to know if that RS4 2speed WILL work or not. If not, Imma try it anyway. Just let me know what needs to be done. PLEASE!!!!

IT M U S T BE DONE!!!!!

AerialGunner · #**866** 06-16-2004, 04:37 PM

Last weekend my fun consist of two 18v DeWalt drill batteries and my toys r us Hummer from when I was 10
I was bored so i hooked up the 2 packs used a bungie to hold em down and ran the 4 wires to the conector. The Tourqe was crazy I would sit and spin if you peged the gas the tires were so bald the truck still only did about 15mph because of the super low gearing and after about 20 min the truck turned into a rolling smoke bomb and drove for another 5 min till the motor had fallen out because it melted itself out ot the holder. In the end it was all worth it to see the truck rollong down the street with smoke billowing out from under it.

I have a problem with my Rush and therefore a question. Whenever i go off a jump or push down on the rear end then it doesn't want to return back up to it's normal position, so basically i have 1/2 an inch of suspension travel. I have a swaybar and Hot Bodies T-maxx shocks with 30 wt. (associated) shock oil installed. Can anyone out there tell me what to do to bring my suspension back to life?
(I've tried putting the sleeve thing that screws onto the shock lower to make the springs harder, it doesn't help much because then it's really hard to push the truck down then.)

clodkiller · #**872** 06-26-2004, 09:19 PM

i would try replacing the o-rings and putting in new fluid. There could be not enough or just tons of tiny air bubles in it. only thing i can really think of

Radio Acer · #**873** 06-27-2004, 04:25 PM

that's what i would do, but the shocks have only gone through 5 or 6 tanks of feul, and i don't think it's time for a rebuild, if i somehow i find a solution, i'll tell you guys. but thanks anyway

EJS · #**874** 07-06-2004, 08:39 PM

Ive ran a gallon through my rush in the past 6 months. Now i dont drive it much because of problems with the radio. The throttle stays open too long and sometimes it loses range within like 5 ft. Im scared of having it runaway. I think the problem is the stock reciever box in the car.. Can i just go out and buya new one of these? or do i need to get a whole new setup? what are some of you guys running? FM? how much $$$ is just the new stock reciever? or a new system? thanks alot. I want to fix it for as cheap as possible. Also what servos are best for the steering in the rush? (brands and model names/numbers) Thanks

mrpj1972 · #**875** 07-07-2004, 07:28 AM

first off you didnt say whether or not you tried putting fresh batterys in your truck, so if you havent, you should do that first.

also how old is the truck? sounds like this could be covered under warranty, but be prepared for some more down time. hpi is usually pretty good with the customer service. if your going to replace it, your better off just buying a hole new system, but you can certainly find a stocker for dirt cheap. try looking on ebay, or even the message boards. people are always upgrading their radio systems. as far as a servo, stick with the futaba line for your truck. they are the most economical for the use that your going to need. anything that has bearings and more speed will be ideal for you. below are some links to some of the things i spoke of:

servo
radio, reciever & single servo package
radio, reciever & 2 servo's package
