robbo, you have to break the engine in yourself. it'll say the right way to break it in in the instructions. for fuel, use anything from 20%-30% nitro.

Or you can use the heat cycle method, which seems to be more popular these days. [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/article_display.cfm?article_id=397]Click here[/link] for details.
I use this method on all my engines (though I here it doesn't work so well on STS engines for some reason)

here pic's of my ofna hyper 7 body .. i painted like the paul coalman pro racer hope you like it..

another pic

Yeah its nice, I would have gone a little easier on the stickers myself but it looks cool.#
Post us a pic when its on the buggy. [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

[8D]hi . jonnymac i don't like to use a lot of sticker's . i will post pic's of it when it's altogether im still waiting on the air filter and gear box but i got the rest of the part's . im looking for a few part's like servo for throtle and a glow igniter and a fail safe and temp gage i know sound like a lot lol but im trying to find these part's used from some one . thank's .

nice paint job junebug. i also try not to use a lot of stickers, usually i just put the stickers on the wing.

I also think the body looks real good!
I was reading in the may issue of rccarmagazine about the hobao hyper st truggy and they wrote that they took alot of parts from the H7. front and rear carriers, center, frt, rr diffs, except for the pinoins they have few gears to adjust for the larger tires. this even makes it easer to find parts.

dammit cant see pics

Hi guys I just got a hyper 7 tq rtr mac 28 eng, while running it in i just ran it very rich and slowly leaned it out every tank of fuel while running in i was off and on the gass but never at full rpm,I used 10% nitro 1lt. The car seems to be going well but i just read where you are suposed to get the eng temps up while running in, my eng never realy got hot. So my question is now i have already leaned the fuel out a bit and have put a lettre of fuel through the car should i still try and get the temps up before reving my eng harder

Yes. I would also recommend a higher percentage of nitro. Get yourself some 25% and start the break in process again (you won't have to do so many tanks this time though, don't worry), return to factory settings, run one tank at idle. If it doesn't get very hot (over 200 needed), then lean it a bit and repeat the process. After the first tank which reaches 200+ let it cool (with the piston at BDC) and then start it up again. this time put it on the ground and run around at medium throttle, again looking to get the temps up over 200. After 3 or 4 tanks of this, you can start tuning. It won't take long.

ok ta ,hmmm how do I know BDC

Remove the glowplug and look into the hole, turn the flywheel by hand until the piston is at the bottom of it's stroke. Now take a permanent marker and mark the flywheel where it protrudes from the underneath of the chassis (some people scratch the flywheel so they always know, but I think this is unnecessary, after a while you get to know just by feeling where bdc is, so I use a permanent pen just so I can see it during break in).

ok thanks alot ill get on to it

also try 25% or 30% nitro.

didn't get any part's yet..

[8D]hi . thank's for all the comment's on the paint job . i got the diff case yesterday i just lack the air filter tube so my body will fit . i will see if that part will come today lol . thank's .

how do you guys like my my paintjob? its my very first one. its for my hyper 7.

I have bought a PCR Pro and I was wondering is there a one piece motor mount that I can buy for my buggy? I was told that Nitrohouse.com has them for the PCR, but I didn't see them. If any one knows where I can purchase one please let me know. Thank you in advance for you'll time and concern.

i guess you like the gavedigger monster truck lol nice job...

nice shell townsley

Are those flames stickers or did you make them yourself? I really don't care for skulls but, that shell does look good. I can't paint even if my life depended on it, everytime I start to paint it seems I always screw it up somehow lol.

very nice body man!!(the car body[X(])

got my air filter today... just order a temp gage and fail safe and glow starter ...

wow the H7 runs so good now she is run in BUT im having trouble with the pull start, I pull the starter rope but it doesnt always grab and turn the motor over it seems to be getting worse the rope just comes out and in but does nothing, so guys can I fix this and how Ta
