Ah, well you definately have more money than i
Id like to get a Spektrum but they're far too expensive.

When it comes to radio gear I dont like to skimp. Im even selling the stock radio from my hyper 7. I mean its futaba but do like the way it feels holding for a days worth of bashing.

Does the Spektrum use more power than an AM radio?

No its digital and better range and not as easy to get interference. 2.4ghz. uses less power because its digital

Hi Guys...............here's a couple of pics of my new TQ SPort "Black" edition as promised.................will not look this clean for long!




Under the bodyshell.........I love the polished pipe and the 3 port race motor should give enough power for some fun bmx track bashing!






Fitted a clear chassis protection sheet to the underside alloy/anodised chassis plate to help keep scratches and scuff marks at bay..........




I have only run 3 tanks through it up to now so I will be running another 5-6 tanks through before tuning for full power after break in.

After some initial set up problems and a few bolts that needed to be tightened it was pretty much RTR.

Throttle and brake linkages were poorly set up from the factory and had to have some major adjustment and tweaking to get right.

I also found that you need to check ALL nuts and bolts including engine as some of mine were not that tight from the factory, especially one of the wheel nuts....hand tight!

First engine start was a pig to get running as the motor was so tight - used the hair dryer method in the end and it worked a treat.

Hopefully get the rest of my motor break in done this coming week....fingers crossed........if not, definately next weekend.

Have fun!

I had pretty much the same problems as you ntyhobbies.
But now its broken in it starts on the first pull

Oh hi guys Ive just made a jumping vid on my Hyper 7 its here:

Its got my mates Inferno in it aswell if your interested[8D]

hey i have a ofna hyper 7 with a os vg 21 motor i have a bump box and its messed up what prts specifically do i need to make it a pull start or somethin i just bought the car it runs good but the bump box is all messed up could somepne please help me i want to drive this thing

I think all u need is a pullstart backplate for your engine and a pullstart doubley check thou

just get your starter box fixed

well the box is messed up i think i have to get a extension for my crankshaft or somethin llike that im really mad cause the wheel is messed up or somethin it wont turn the motor i dont like them boxes anyway i need a list of all the parts i need to turn it into a pull start or even a roto start i really apperiate the help if you guys have any ideas on how to fix this or get it runnin plase tell me

Please use proper sentences! It makes it sooooo much easier to understand, and people will be more likely to respond to your question.

What is wrong with the box? Saying its messed up really doesnt help, it could be something simple and you will be on your way.

If you want a pull-start (box starter is sooo much better and easier but each to their own i guess) you will need to buy a pull-start kit from somewhere. Your looking at about $40 just for that, which imo is a lot when you could just fix your box starter.

my pull start box is working fine its not grabbing the teeth on the flywheel and i used my friends box and it worked fine i want to have a pull start its easier and not so much of a hassle. so where can i get a conversion kit for it or what specific parts do i need to get it from the box to pull start. i know my backing plate goes inside the engine a little bit so i don't know if i need a extension or something
i'm new at this stuff

I have been looking to find this thread for a while. I can't believe no one has posted in it for almost a year!! I know the hyper 7 is a bit older but it still seem to be quite popular and is a great platform.I have had 3 of them now I'm down to just 1.
here are a couple of mine.

GJ finding this thread Yak, I had no idea it existed!!!

here are some pics of my Hyper 7 PCR Pro edition...

Bumping an old thread! Just picked up my Hyper 7 on a trade (RC18T) roller which I converted to BL using the RC Monster motor mount, Castle MMM/2200, running a 4s lipo. Anyone know if the "pro" bodys that come clear are already trimmed? I'm trying to find a decent body that doesnt have all the nitro holes cut in it. So far the buggy is really durable! Nothing broken through 3-4 packs of bashing around.

Also does anyone know the hierarchy for the springs? I currently have the BLACK springs on all around but I think I need to move to slightly firmer in the front but cant find any spring rates/compression. Thanks!

hey guys i like the twin engine mod so here goes i have 6 hyper 7 cars so i thought id mod one or two
frame is complete ill have to mod a lot of stuff it seams lol i am either goingh with twin collari 32's or twin p-3 .28 piccos has it been done before i couldnt find much info on web except a few shallow pics or vids ?? ant help would be appreciated

i was thinking of buying a ofna hyper 7 but would like to now if its good for racing at a track. also anyone now of an off road rc track around homestead fl.
if anyone now of a better buggy arond the $350.00 - 400.00 (RTR)for racing.

Perhaps a used vehicle of recent design would be a better choice if you want to race.

i was looking up the losi 810 u think thats a good buggy for racingits $420.00

Not good for racing. Although listed as a 1/8 scale, it is really undersized. I believe it runs a .19 engine and that should tell you something.

where can i get info/rules on rc racing im new to racing but i have some knowledge in rc.

I Just picked this up today in a best offer deal for $185....winning!!!!

my fincee and i are looking at picking two up for her and i, and were wondering are they worth the $288 from towerhobbies? and are they good for just backyard bashing and some fun with racing nothing to serious?
