Status: offline 		Watch out for the fuel tank posts (which crack easily), king pins (tend to back out), and potentially leaky diffs (easily fixable with Kyosho Diff Gaskets). Other then that run it and have a blast. Be sure to post pics. I remember the days when it was brand spanking new.

Status: offline 		The main thing to watch out for based on my experience would be the front knuckles.. Make ONE THOUSAND PERCENT sure your steering linkage and then radio settings are PERFECT.. And don't forget to threadlock the screws.. MANY people here in Germany anyway have had problems with those screws into the knuckles stripping out, or just outright breaking them..

J-blaze, you took my advise and tried the Kyosho ones I take it. Have they worked out for you?

Status: offline 		not yet, i ordered 2 sets though. i was using the ofna/jammin ones which are about 1mm too big/ they work for a while but i'm going through gears in the diffs like crazy, no leaks tho. i check mesh, fill to the right spot, check mesh again, used longer screws even. every gallon or so one of my diffs blows one of the large internal gears, just flat. this last weekend it was the rear during qualifying then the center went at the start of the main. i'm gonna redo all 3 for this weekend to test, then rcpro race in 3 weeks. woohoo. i'm gonna do some lightening this time on the st, cf shock towers, turnbuckle chassis braces, hyper 7 front upper mount. we'll see how it goes.

Sorry to hear that. Your blowing diffs to quickly. If you blew the center also, the kyosho gasket won't help for that one. Wierd. This has been my first season on my Hyper. Haven't blown any diffs yet. And I have been hard on my hyper.

hi i have a question too, i still have the standard flywheel but with the standard one i cant use a bump start because it's to small do you guys know a bigger one that will fit and start with a bumpstart?

I'm currently using a kyosho 34mm flywheel. I know that you can use the one from the Hyper 7 buggy. It depends on the starter box too. I was using a dynamite starter box before I went to the ofna truggy starter box. Now I have no issues starting anything. You can also use a flywheel from a Savage X too and its way cheaper! When using the kyosho or the savage X flywheel I was able to start the truck with my old starter box. Hope this helps.

Status: offline 		yeehaw!! i finished my hyper st lightening and it is crazy. i got some cf hyper 7 shock towers on ebay for like $30 and then used hyper 7 chassis races and front upper mount assembly. i took out the shock towers, braces and center brace (also lowered center diff for better mesh). i haven't weighed it yet but performance wise it ran like a deer on crack today. i burned up a servo but i'm going back out today.
