Default Hyper 7 weak points

In the new year I will be getting a Hyper 7 TQ Black and I want to stock up on parts that I am likely brake, what are the parts do the hypers go through the most? I know from the days that I had a Savage I went through loads of pull starts difs and spur gears.
Also I have heard that the engine in the TQ Black needs more maintenance, what is meant by this.

Well man I have a hyper 7 Tq black edition and I must say i beat on it. And the only thing I can say is go to nitrohouse and get the paulcoleman racing parts. And stock up on tires and wing mounts and wings. And always keep some extra crown gears and clutch bells. Thats pretty much it. Most of the modern buggies are pretty well built.

It's a solid car.. I would stock up on turn buckles and buy a nice servo.

Buy some spare center chassis braces, also the long screw that holds the rear brace in place.

I would also get an extra motor mount and a rear wing. The mount won't break, but the bottom holes will eventually strip out.

Hope this helps.

My friend has one. I would buy a stronger steering servo (the stock one is pathetic), spare clutchbell/shoes, and obviously get quite a few glowplugs as those go very fast during breakin.

good luck

Thanks guys,

Will all the parts for the Hyper 7 fit the 'TQ Black' and does anybody have an exploded diagram for it?

Cheers
