Default Please help me identify my Hyper 7

Hey y'all,

Will you please take a look at these pictures and tell me what version of the Hyper 7 i have. I just bought it used and cant tell if its a pro, pbs, tq or a hybrid. I'm pretty new to buggies, so any help woud be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

PCR? Just a guess...it's not a stock PBS, that's for sure... Do you know what parts have been changed? Anyway, tbh, it's a Hyper 7, that's all you need to know. It's not like PCR parts won't fit on a TQ sport or vice versa, it's all interchangable.

Thanks. Are all the chassis the same? what do you think about the extended chassis? Also, where's the best place to buy parts for these? RCmart.com?

ebay is the best place for hyper parts. Rcmart sure does have a lot of stuff, but you can find anything they have and much more on the bay, and save yourself a ton of delivery. The Hyper 7 is still arguably the best supported buggy on the market in terms of spares and hopups etc.

ya, with the exception of some front end parts for the PBS and C-Hub, all of the parts of a hyper 7 are interchangable between one another. s like foxy said, all you really need to know is that its a hyper 7

Ok, so what are some good weight saving tips? I just ordered some carbon fibre parts: shock towers, radio tray, etc. Where else can i lose the ounces?
