Default is the hyper 7 strong?

i dont do much racing but i just bash on a course at my friends house with a few big jumps. i recently sold my nitro rustler because it broke everytime i took it out, my revo has never broke and i bash it like crazy doing backflips and having really bad landings and all ive had is a bent turnbuckle. is the hyper 7 strong like the revo or at least stronger than the rustler? im interested in getting one but dont want to invest in something that will break all the time. are a lot of parts readily available? thanks for any input

i see they are making hyper 8's. would it be worth it to get the newer version or are they not that much different from the hyper 7, again im not racing but want a strong buggy. will parts for the 7 be available for a good while to come?

Since the Hyper 7 them have made a Hyper 8, Hyper 8.5 and now the Hyper 9. I have both the Hyper 8 Pro and the 8.5 Pro. In my opinion they are very tough and durable. I have broke VERY few parts. Coarse any vehicle is only as good as the person that maintenance it.

Well there is a big difference between the 7 and 8. But they are both about the same engines wise. and drive train-suspension. the 8 has 16mm big bores the hyper 7 TQ has 14mm big bore. So there are differences.

Different chassis, servo tray, braces, motor mount, radio box and more. Lighter and more nimble. But, the 7 is still a good buggy, too.

If all you are going to do is bash any of them will do.
