Oh How Original Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Well I kind of have my heart set on a Hyper 7, as something to just thrash around in my local quarry, but what are the alternatives? Not on a budget as such, but not going to spend daft money on something that will no doubt end up broken. Need something quite tough and rugged, with spares readily available. Sorry mods, if this should be in the Wanted bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraggs Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 think Hyper 7 is a good choice mate, Plenty of cheap spares easily available, strong,tough, loads of upgrade/hop ups too quite a few for sale around the forum and Ebay at reasonable money too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jev1985 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Hey mate i'm still a noob but if its a buggy you want and a bomb proof cheap to fix one you are best off with a hyper 7 even if you have to take the plunge and buy new. plenty of threads all over this forum singing their praise means you probably can't go wrong.

Oh How Original Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Aye I know they are good like, and I'm actually bidding on one at then moment on eBay, but I was meaning as like a back-up, but not the same car. But don't want to go like Hyper 8-9 etc....

scotty1986 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 id go hong nor mate bu tid go for a truggy if your going over very rough ground as you can have it sat higher than a buggy and the big wheels will also help although ive just got a hyper st pro and it looks well built and are supposed to be very tough,, but with a hyper or hong nor buggy or truggy spares are available very easily and aint badly priced either. im sure whatever you decide on will put a huge smile on your face anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well out of the Hyper range I'd go for a 7 just for bashing, with either a MAC 28 or Picco engine in it if you want extra speed. Reason I made this topic is because with so many makes out there I just wondered if there was another good buggy. Had an eBay search of Hong Nor and couldn't find a second hand one. And also Kyosho, but again, nothing really about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forbs Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 would you not go for the black? people have been telling me they have no end of problems with the 28 i don't know what to believe to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 would you not go for the black? people have been telling me they have no end of problems with the 28 i don't know what to believe to be honest Unless you had a standard one ported and polished? It depends if you want mad speed, or strength and things, plus if you're only using it for bashing, you don't want to pay like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 What about a gv Rex x or hunter, they're built rock solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
