That would be great! I am looking forward to watching the video.....maybe you could post up some more pics of it?

Got my car going....after sitting for 20 years or so.....with a Kyosho stock 05 motor, I wasn't too impressed....but it did roll!

Think of the drag! Think of the inefficiency! Think of the motor BB's! I absolutely love it - That hyperdrive tranny is the shiznit :D The things we were running bitd, eh?!?! :lol: But...but...it was new! And innovative! And quiet! Quiet had to be good....right? :mrgreen: I remember running one on ...

To be honest, I don't remember ever racing with that on my car...may have been just goofing around with it. I do have one on my HPI RS4....love the "stealthiness" of it....all belts, no noise......

I was digging around out in the garage and I found some more Voltima goodies.....the a-arms are the 2 degree toe-in ones.....



I forgot I was running a Hyperdrive setup on my stock class car....

Once I got the basic configuration down, there was very little I did to prep for one track or another. I had 3 sets of shocks (the BIG advantage of the plastic shocks....they were cheap!) that had light, medium, and heavy oil, and 2 sets of springs.

Don't worry. You're blowing new life into the thread. Is that a parma body? Very cool creation Heh...thanks...I have been on the receiving end of getting reamed over necro-posting.....didn't want to cause problems..... :lol: Yeah, that's a Parma body, got it back in the 80's to match my Little Brot...

Old Voltimas don't die......they just transform themselves into a drag chassis!





Ok, that's a bit of a stretch.....and I really am done hijacking this thread....

I used to have a plastic spacer I put under the shock piston to force the rings and keeper back into place....the washers shown works the same....

Shocks are pretty much a personal preference....what works for me may very well not work for you....I was a very conservative driver.....no big air, tried to drive as clean a race as possible, you can really move ahead of the pack by missing all the crashes..... :mrgreen: I don't remember having pro...

that's an awesome set of pics, with some awesome patina on those metallic parts! Hee hee....yeah, my poor Voltima sat out in a damp garage for 15 or 20 years..... :D I started working at Venture Hobbies just about the time when the owners Rich and Larry were getting started on the Voltima project. ...

And I really love the lower body with the gen1 top.

Wow....you know your vintage stuff! Yeah, those Robinson carriers sure made a difference in cornering traction, along with the Andys wide a-arms......

This is the body I used most all the other times....especially if it was windy....that other body acted just like a parachute coming off the bigger jumps.... https://i.imgur.com/mIKrn8h.jpg https://i.imgur.com/h8zqvM9.jpg https://i.imgur.com/SaCNOdp.jpg https://i.imgur.com/8OG08AQ.jpg I used the ven...

Ok, are you ready for a blast from the past, a trip down memory lane...blah blah blah? You have to know....all this info is coming from 30 year old memories, so please, don't quote me, and please do not sue me if I'm wrong..... I'll get the pics out of the way first.... https://i.imgur.com/nl4UnCt.j...
