RE: hyper 7 rtr
 

it's good, it's reliable and the hyper .21 is the fastest engine made.

Ok it is a good buggy a bunch of guys run them at the track parts are easy to get. The HYPER .21 is not the fastest engine made but it is a very dependable mill.

Good buggy very dependable
I have one but selling to go with a X1 CR Pro
Hyper 21 is a great engine if you put the OS 20 E carb on it
with that it will hold a tune very well

for the local track here my buddy has his geared with a 12T clutch bell and it runs very good
i like the buggy alot but just wanted to try a new one

fast track times will always come down to the driver though
good luck in your choice

Its a reasonable buggy, a bit on the heavy side, better on smooth tracks than it is on bumpy tracks.

Most people will say its a tough buggy, but its like most things, if you crash at speed something will break, but spares are cheap.

I have run a hyper 7 and my son still does he has a Hyper 7 with a pro uk chassis only thing he breaks are servos[>:] and he does hit things when not supervised (he's only 9 years old), I used to suffer from bent shock towers, broken shock shafts & C hubs, but you will expect this if you hit something.

The other thing I have noticed is the suspension does not work as well as other buggies, it seems that the arms are on the short side and I guess that's why its better on the smooth stuff. You get a lot of sag on the front and rear, so you have to go with a lot of spacers or thicker shock oil and heavy springs, which does not go with bumpy tracks. IMO

RE: hyper 7 rtr
 

I made a list in another topic of the things I should have bought when I started, (because alot of the RTR parts failed right away). The list is based off of a hyper buggy. I am not a racer who demands the best parts, but these are items with a good feature/price combination. It is going to be a higher investment up front than what an RTR kit costs, but you won't need to uprade as much later.
