hi i want some advice.
i have got a kyosho inferno 7.5 sports rtr. and i this its crap. so im selliong it and want a new buggy. im looking at the hobao hyper 7 TQ mach edition with he 28 engine rtr. or the hyper 7 rtr. what would you suggest? someone put me onto the ofna jammin but its out of my bugget unfortunately. this buggy will only be used for bashin, no racing, just pure fun and dont want it to keep braking like my inferno does.
thanks alot.

Both of those are more physically reliable than the Inferno, but there is another option which is better again. The Hyper 7 PBS RTR. Virtually indestuctable and about the same price.

thankz alot. where could i get the pbs? i found it on a few websites but it seems to be alot more expensive than the over 2. i can get the hyper 7 rtr for £245, the hyper 7 28 for £290, but can only find the pbs for £335, which is over budget [&o]

by the way did you mean the 21 engine pbs or the 28?

The TQs good. I had a MP7.5 and swapped to a hyper. I bought the kit and stuck a different engine and radio in so i can't comment on the rtr but so far it seems much mure durable than the kyosho. I dont think the bigger engine will do you many favours, If you can find the .21 cheaper just get that. You will pay a lot more for the PBS. if you're paying that sort of money just get a hyper 8.

thankz. i can get the hyper 7 TQ RTR witht he 21 engine for £242. is this a good price?

It doesn't sound a bad price...I must admit I don't know the list on them but the TQ is a good buggy and most cost more than that for sure. It will even race well if you decide to later on. I just dont think the bigger engine is such an advantage If it is a good .28 (which I doubt) then it will wreck the drive train and they rev out less than a .21. I do recommend buying CNC chassis braces (£10 ebay) if you're doing big jumps down the BMX track.

cheers m8. it wud b the mach 28 engine if i got that 1(any good??), but now i will probably go for the TQ 21 RTR. thanks for the advice i will make sure i get the suggested item from ebay.

The Hyper 7 PBS comes with the Hyper 21 8 port engine, a reliable mill when treated right, look at www.microtechracing.com for a deal.

I have checked the stock and there's 1 left there, Note that you will really need a decent servo for the steering to get going properly, but all you need is in one box, car, radio, engine and starter box. I have 2 of these (1 basher and 1 racer) and after 3 years they are still both going strong.

cheers for that m8. unfortunately my budget will not stretch this far.[&o] so it looks like im gonna av 2 go for the hyper 7 TQ RTR or the TQ 28. out of these two which one would you say is best? thankz alot.

I hear you there, but please be aware that both of those will require a steering servo too as the stock ones are P A N T S, still out of those thr TQ RTR is better and if you get the latest model then you get the stronger chassis too.

thankz m8. does this look like a good deal 2 u? http://www.jespares.com/catalog/prod...oducts_id=1040
what servo would you recommend, where can i get it?
thankz

y not save enough $$ and get a better one,u might regret ur purchase in the long run..id rather buy what i kno is best than buy one coz its what i afford..id choose the pcr or the pbs over the hyper tq..

you make a good point. but i only want it for messing around with. and fromwhat i have hear the TQ is good enough for my needs.

i double posted sorry

oh what about the ravager is it also out of your price range?i think the pcr or the pbs are priced lower than before now coz of the hyper 8...ithink u are downgrading from your mp 7.5 or maybe there is not much of a difference if u took the tq...

i cant find a ravager for sale in the uk. any ides? but the pcr and the pbs are still too expensive. [&o] and i dnt think i could be downgrading/ i had it 3 months and all in all spent £540 on it.

can u buy here in the U.S. ?try the bay for a used but hoppeup one or check rcu market too

i can get them on the net in the u.s but i am not sure how much they are really costing as they are in dollars and would imagine that the shipping rate of getting it sent here would be quite alot.

Listen believe me when I say the TQ isn't downgrading from a MP7.5 RTR. The 7.5 RTR is a POS. I broke a wheel, wing and bent a chassis within 1/2 hour of use and i didn't even crash it badly, just a couple of big jumps! to get it to the standard of a TQ it would have taken a further £60-100 not including the broken stuff or the intial cost of the buggy. If you want to know what I upgraded on the TQ let me know but in my opinion just get chassis braces, a NiMh receiver pack and a steering servo and you will have a good buggy. The 4 port engine .21 is not bad for a RTR and by the time you need more you will probably be looking for a new engine anyway. If you want a little more from it you can always pick up a nice tuned pipe off ebay and it will fit straight on your next engine so is not wasted cash. For the money it can't be beaten.

thankz m8. yh i will be interestd in the upgrades as soon as i get it. what steering servo would you recommend i put in it? and do you think £242 is good? http://www.jespares.com/catalog/prod...oducts_id=1040 i no wot u mean about the 7.5. POS! i broke 3 wheels, snapped a shock, killed the standard steering servo and melted the spur gear all in 1 week of road and field use! i have got a vantage racing carbon fibre top end exhaust. is that good enuff?

all the hypers on one page, the .28 is actually slower than the pbs. save that little extra and get the pbs, you will not regret it!!!!!!

£242 is a good price but it'll be nearer £300 when you have bought the rest of the stuff.
I Don't know about the pipe but its probably better than the standard one I use a 086 which is cool. There are loads of servos about but the sanwa (airtronics) ERG series are highly recommended. I just use a JR 577 at the moment which is adequate but not awe inspiring. On the engines I have an OS RG.21 but the TQ will use the hyper 4 port and the PBS the hyper 8 port. I recommend doing a search on here and look at tuning, as some people have tuning issues with the 8 port. the PBS has adjustable steering and a laydown servo for lower C of G. the steering isn't an issue for me because the TQs C-hub is more accurate than the more adjustable PBS. and the gravity issue won't affect you if you're bashing.
Choice is yours bro

thankz agen m8. im gonna go with the TQ RTR. then as soon as its on order im gonna get the ova bits for it. thankz alot. and heres the info about my exhaut
