One of the local racers I know just got a Hyper 8. He told me his motor mount screws hang past the chassis on the bottem .90 mill ? Has anyone else noticed this?

.90 mill? So less than one millimeter?

He must have some of those fancy digital calipers

Don't know yet, but I will soon. Sounds like something one swipe of a file could fix.

got mine from my lhs for $419, not to bad but it took a week longer than anyone else.

So if I get the front and rear arms,suspension towers it will all bolt up with no problem. Just need to know I'm new to buggy so I don't know what changes over.

How did you ever jump to that conclusion??
The arms and diff cases are very differnt between the 2 cars, not even close
the towers will not work between cars either

The Hyper8 is not an upgraded hyper7 it's a mostly all new design

it is an ALL NEW design. they have been designing it for two years... nothing like the H7...

lol

Well from what I was reading they were the same just a lighter chassis and things like that I found the parts on ebay and since I only paid $25 for my hyper 7 pbs hell it was worth a try.

Wow,
someone gave you some costly, bad information

the h8 lower arms are about 7mm wider @ the diff case, good luck getting them to work
and the h8 shock tower holes won't be even close to lining up with the hole in the h7 diff

Well I didn't buy anything just wanted to know, but glad I have you guy cause I'd really be mad if I would have bought that stuff.

i have run 6 tanks threw the hyper 8. all i can say is SWWEEEETT!!!!

So, what kinda engine should I toss in this? I do plan on racen this buggy, so power is a big thing. The biggest badest engine out there would be great. OS 30vg in this maybe? Still needs to be legal and all, there is a rc pro series starting in a few months, I got the buggy, now for the power. Thanks for any info.

The rb s72 has big enough balls for the hyper 7 that i have and my boss just put one in his hyper 8 and it rips i spent all day at work getting it put togeather and tuning it it was awesome

So are starter boxes a must for buggies? Even if i dont plan on racing it right away?

did your H8 come 80% from factory?

Ok, you talked me out of the OS .21 and into the RB Concepts
World S7 II X3 .21 Engine. $309.95 plus s/h, should have it by wednesday, hope I get the buggy put together by then. Oh, Im hopen this was a wise choice of power plants, Im sure it is though, anyone know the specs on this hp/torque? Thanks.

yes it did i expected to have to put it all together but it was nice
and i am glad to help with the engine situation

RB concepts doesnt publish power figures, but they are very strong engines. the WS7 X3 is a great motor. and u dont need an engine larger than .21 to get the best power. the WS7, C5BB, V-spec, P5, 421B, and others easily out motor most anythign else made. dont believe any of the power claims in the ads.

good job on your choice of engine. enjoy

.90? Thats 4 times the size of what these buggies are built for. These buggies take size .21-.32 engines. .90 is made for helicopters and airplanes.

He is saying the screws stick below the chassie .90 Mill. He is not running a .90 mill engine.

I used the screws that came with it and they didnt stick down that far

ahhh, it finally showed up at my hs today. after two weeks of torture. one word, errr actually two, BAD *****
i sat there lookin at it for like an hour just trying to take in all the details. guess my hyper 7 just became a bashin buggy

Well, I got the hump and the transmitter all in the tray and the lid closed. I'll get a pic posted here as soon as I find my camera, I think my mother took it to take pictures of the tornado damage done to here house. I seen the pic Klaus448 posted, and I noticed hes running a jr system, Im running a spektrum and its just a bit smaller than the jr. So far so good on my buggy project. Quick question, what nitro % should I run? Im thinking 20%.

i broke my ws7 2 in on 20% then added a head shim and ran 30%.
i need to hurry up and finish my h8 for next weekend. but my rb is allready broken in.

crusher i finally got to race mine this weekend with a s7. this thing handles great!! i just need some
practice to get used to it. i can drive this more agressively than i can my kyoshos. it can handle a lot
more speed threw the corners than im used to. its just awesome!!!
