Hyper 7 is a little out dated. There are far superior buggys on the market now. Hyper 8, kyosho 777 sp2, mugen mbx5,and jammin to name a few.

It's a good durable buggy. It takes more driver's skill than anything to win a race, so as long as you know your limits and how to tweak things to your advantage you should be able to make it to the A-main.

I just switched from a Hyper 7 PBS/PCR to a Hyper 8 Pro and the biggest difference is weight. The Hyper 7 with no electronics and no engine weighs about the same as my Hyper 8 fully loaded.

I have the Hyper 8 Port that I got from the Hyper 7 in my Hyper 8 now because it's a good engine with nice top-end power and a smooth powerband. This is helpful on really loose tracks(ie: mine) to make it easier to drive.

Ah, the power of marketing and advertising on the masses... The Hyper 7 is still a formidable club racing buggy behind the right hands, but most people think because buggies are newer and more expensive that they are far superior because they see it in magazines and they see the pros driving it. FYI, I have spoken with a few sponsored drivers that preferred their older buggies but HAD to run the latest and greatest from their sponsors.

I guarantee that a good driver with a decently setup Hyper 7 can still wallop 99% of club racers with Hyper 8s, Kyosho 777 sp2, mbx5s, etc.

Now personally I still prefer my Hyper 7 to the 8, I find that on the tracks I use the weight is a big advantage, Those lightweight jobbies just get tossed around on the rough stuff.

Just takes more finaggling with the setup

If I understood the question, I could answer it, but to answer it may cause confussion. So I'll lay down the average speed of this class.

Top Speed @ 40 (depends on gearing) (depending on surface) (depending on tyres) (depending on engine) (depending on pipe) (depending on chassis setup) (depending on allsorts, gradient, wind, skill, luck, other folk about, etc...)

Acceleration 0-30 @ 2 secs (depends on gearing) (depending on surface) (depending on tyres) (depending on engine) (depending on pipe) (depending on chassis setup) (depending on allsorts, gradient, wind, skill, luck, other folk about, etc...)

Lol, sorry m8. I was really tired when I was typing. I've got my hyper 7 now though, its awesome.

See ya
