1/8 X-rider Mars/HKM-390 - hopups :-)


My X-rider Mars/HKM-390 - with hop ups.

One of my very best 1/8 motorcycle.
1. front brake this alone is the best hop up for the kit
2. 5160k brushless and ESC from X-rider is really smooth, don't really want to willy :-) stay planted and very fast!
3. Added motor heat sink.
4. changed to ZH crash rollers instead!
5.. Spektrum radio upgrade does help :-) using an SR3100 with DX4R pro.

here's some photo of my new Hopup bike with the ESC switch below the front fork neck for easy access.

I just bought one of these in the hobbyking sale , its seems a nice little bike.
Is there a kit for the brakes ? I can only find it as separate parts.

Yes hobby king has it separated.

You can get the sets from AsiaTee or Holeshot Hobbies

I think you would need to buy the servo and brake servo mounting separately. check the option manual from http://www.cx3rider.com

Hey yamar, where did you order the steering shock from? thanks, dave OOPs, sorry misread your post, thought you already had the steering shock. Front brakes are good option too! Let me know if you find some one to buy options and parts from, pretty scarce right now, hope it gets better.

Yes I would like a brake kit too, I think the best mod is to make a seat support to stop the body breaking

No problem with the body breaking on our bikes it never wants to fall, stable even at very low speed. heh....

Yes, not breaking lol. You obviously run on a smooth surface take it to a carpark and one little stone will send it end over end and break the tail of the body trust me I know
