My Hyper 7 Pro with a Picco 0-1 and a 80 oz of torque servo handles pretty well. With street tires i can do donuts with it and never flip, I can climb curbs and it jumps pretty well.

I am still gonna upgrade my servos to faster stronger servos (115 oz torque at .06 seconds) for both.

I drilled out the pistons according to a site online, and they said run 25 wt rear and 20 wt front oil... well im running 40 around and im thinking of going to 60 and 55.

Its very durable i think, Ive hit stuff my rs4 woulda been decimated. I hit a curb, not straight on, but on an angle and it did a complete barrel roll and landed on its tires... so i tried it again and i did about 8 flips in the air, landed upside down... flipped it back over and kept driving

She likes posing for the camera:













I bought the car used for 300 bucks.... The chassis isnt too bad of shape and I filed that hole in the bottom.... Im going to get my dremmel on it make make it real smooth.... I had a hard time hitting the hole.... lol.... So i first opened each side about 4mm then as you see, I filed it out so i had an easier time with the wheel...worx like a champ
