6 years old chassis and people are still buying, building and running those! That is a testament to what kind of buggies Hyper 7s are/were.

It won't look that good again. Black ano looks awesome and that front shock tower looks pretty fat! 4-5mm I would guess.

Be sure to seal the engine up good. Especially around the pull start. Get a starter box as well, you'll get tired of yanking that string in short order.

Are you talking about sealing the backing plate or the pull starter? Selling around the pull starter will not help anything as you still have the hole where the string comes out. Yes I agree get a starter box and I all so like the paint job.

I sealed around the back plate. Guess I'll seal the hole up since my pull cord broke anyways. Mine fired up as well but snap crackled and popped till I sealed part of it up.
