Which Hyper Buggy?!?!
 

I hear Ofna's Hyper Series are good for racing ( and also not to expensive). I was debating between the Hyper 7 PBS or PCR. It looks to me like the only difference is the servo positioning (lay-down -vs- up-right) Am I correct? Which is better for speed and turnability with durability? Will take any input ;)!!! Thanks in advance

Hyper 7 TQ Pro ARR - almost ready to run. Comes 80% built and just needs radio gear and misc operating field tools.

Has a hyper .21 8 port engine and a stocker pipe [aint bad ...]

if not that car - get the Pro C-hub version ... 22* chubs.

The PBS version is very durible!!!!! Comes RTR with a Hyper MACH .28

RE: Which Hyper Buggy?!?!
 

I was actually look in at the old version of the PBS because .28 engines aren't race legal. Same car--different engine ((^^In reply to FIREFIGHTER7^^)

I've heard the TQ is a great car but its $449. Alittle more expensive than the PCR and (the OLD) PBS (which is OK) but then when you add the cost of Radio equipment... That's way over my budget (I don't exactly have a job). Ive also heard that C-hubs' Kingpins rip out when racing. One guy I talked to said he tried every company's hubs but they all did the same, so he ordered the PBS front end conversion kit.(He'll tell me how it goes) Do your C-hubs rip out?

i have a hyper 7 pcr with the ofna picco .27. its the fastest thing i have played with. its the toughest too. i sent it 20 feet in the air off a tiny ramp and landed probably the worst way possible and only bent 2 little parts. 2 of the pivot balls on the front end. they didnt bend that bad. i swaped them out with the ones in the rear and it was fine.

OOOO[X(] Thats a good Idea. Way to save money:D

RE: Which Hyper Buggy?!?!
 

Same problem. Couldn't finish a race without the kingpin screw ripping out of the knuckle. The dogbone would pop from the outdrive and my race was done. Tried the Ofna CNC knuckles and kyosho knuckles. Currently waiting on the PBS parts to arrive.

I don't know where you were looking but I got my TQ for $220
The TQ is the basic version of all the hypers. What you get is a no frills but workmanlike buggy. I've had no probs with the front end as yet, but have heard of knuckles breaking. Either get a few spares or a set of CNC'd ones for a bulletproof buggy

I was looking on tower hobbies at the TQ Pro. WOW $220! thats a great deal

RE: Which Hyper Buggy?!?!
 

you can buy my pcr if you want. comes with everything you need. check out hyper 7 pcr for sale!

RE: Which Hyper Buggy?!?!
 

Just saying to SKITZ0721 the guy above my post (JonnyMac) said he got his for $220. We were looking at the TQpro though

RE: Which Hyper Buggy?!?!
 

thats cool. never hurts to offer. The tq is still a great buggy. thats a great price but you're still going to have to get everything to get it running.

RE: Which Hyper Buggy?!?!
 

ok nvm this thread has gotten messed up...But thanks for your help guys

RE: Which Hyper Buggy?!?!
 

THE PCR IS WHAT YOU WANT. ITS THE SERVOS, DIFFS, BRAKES........LITTLE THINGS LIKE THAT. i think the pcr has a longer chassis too.

RE: Which Hyper Buggy?!?!
 

Yeah thats what Ive decieded on. The PCR seems like it could compete with other buggies while I still have money in my pocket:D

RE: Which Hyper Buggy?!?!
 

The only thing I would recomend buying in the PCR is a heavy duty metal gear servo. My friend had one and hit something and the wheels jerked to the side and stripped the servo gears.

RE: Which Hyper Buggy?!?!
 

I think my truck has metal geared servos for both steering and throtle so I might just switch the throtle one with it but it might be kinda low-torque. If it is...theres always EBAY:D

RE: Which Hyper Buggy?!?!
 

A quick question for skits... what would the longer chassis do?

RE: Which Hyper Buggy?!?!
 

It handles better on the rough stuff. It doesn't get tossed around as easily by little bumps. It jumps better. little things like that. its not a huge difference but it is noticeable.
