Hello,

I have a Ofna LX Comp, and now i want to get into racing. But i'm looking for something under 400, and has alot of hop-up. I was thinking of the Hyper 7, is that any good. And is their any thing also that is close to comparison to the Hyper 7.

THanks,
Shawn

Hyper7 tq kit about 225$

OS RG 110$

This must be the cheapest way to get into racing.

Or you can get the Hyper7 pbs.

But going for a kit would be better.

I was thinking of the Ofna Delta Force 8 port .21 engine, since it has about 5,000 more rpm and has about .4 more hp, but how is the engine?

os rg is the most reliable engine and best bang for the buck around there and it has got alot of low end power. quick is what you need for small tracks.
that is what it seems like everyone is saying in the forums

Well, since it is the winter, that gives my about 4 months to save, and i have a Smartech, and i took all the radio stuff out, so I can get a Hyper 7 tq for about 240, then the O.S. .21 for about 100, and then put the Smartech stuff in until i get some money for a Futaba or JR. But how many .oz do i need in a steering servo, because i have a Traxxas 80 .oz with the Smartech radio.

You need @ lest 100oz. of torque. For a good reliable inexpesive servo go with the Futaba s3303/ 120 oz of torque .20 speed and only 37.00 bucks from Tower.
