Rtsbasic Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 It's a hyper after all.what they like mate was looking into getting 1 not long ago Its a really nice car to drive! Not sure I'd want to treat it like my Hyper 7 but I purchased it solely for racing, and it seems really good value for money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean.b Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Yeah I'm yet to hit an actual track just bmx tracks etc and I do tend to bust the 7 enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoothybb Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Well finally got round to putting my Frankenhyper7 together! I think I count parts from 5 different models so far not including chassis and random hop-up parts. Still need a centre diff, fit a centre CVD, mount esc and radio gear then it's testing time and tweaks to make it handle sweet. It's only taken about 2yrs of collecting random bits. Still got plenty of room to play with layout thanks to the longer chassis: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoothybb Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Leopard 2650, not sure on size. It's only gonna be running on 4s for now. I have a Turnigy 1900kv sitting unused but thought I'd try for a bit more speed from the Leopard first. Yeah the rx box was just to fill some space on that side lol. Bit big for the small rx I've got to go in it. Might end up using it for onboard storage, sweets, ciggys etc. It was originally gonna go on a nitro hyper but hard to squeeze in. With the longer chassis on this, it looked a bit empty without it. And yes, it's been a long time coming, still haven't tried the shell yet but have been patiently waiting changing plans, it'll be strange when it actually moves!

Smoothybb Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Got a kinda of cheap land rover-esque shell which I was planning on using. Also have a ford F150 shell to try as it's in better nick. Just waiting on spur now and we can get running!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arron99 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Has anyone got one of theses threaded balls spare? pretty please. Holds the hyper 7 diff/chassis brace down. And a stripped bolt head means I require a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimus Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I may have one. I'll have a look when I get out of bed... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimus Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Right. After rolling out of bed I found that I don't have a spare one of the part you need, I did have some spare but I must have used them all when I doubled up the chassis braces on my hyper. Sorry bud...

Arron99 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 No probs. Thanks for looking. May be a hint just to buy the aluminum braces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoothybb Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 So the frankenhyper's maiden went so so earlier. Nothing destroyed/on fire was the goal and almost managed that. Less than 2 mins before it threw off a tyre and loosened another. Maybe shouldn't have kept going and then I would still have some shiny chrome look wheels. They might be salvageable Must work out what I glued one wheel with as that seemed to survive fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoothybb Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Anyone know how to repair a cvd? Seems the power of the leopard motor was too much for it. Hoping I have a dogbone that will fit as not sure how else it's gonna run. Well, it did keep running, FWD only but not as quick and then the steering came unscrewed so eventually had to to stop. Shredded a tyre properly this time. Am thinking it might be a bit much............................ Don't be soft!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optimus Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Forgot to update mine on here: It's pretty much finished for the time being. I still have a couple bits to and I have an idea or two in the pipeline but I'm not in a rush anymore. Here's my first build thread, feel free to have a look:http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/198223-my-first-build-thread-yup-another-hyper-7/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huktonfonics Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) I've added some GPM bits to mine recently, had to remove all the pink anodising, but the gpm stuff is cheap as chips so thought hey, they must be better than the stock towers and braces. Will find out in due course. Also put some Hellfire shock springs on the shocks, which made a huge difference. (3rd pic down) Also started converting my ST. Still waiting on pinions, mbx6 side guards, cnc uprights, cnc knuckles and front and rear spiders, Blitz receiver box, and some stiffer springs for a set of big bore shocks I'm going to rebuild for ItThis is as far as I've got so far Before After I tried out the hyper 7 sides till my others come, they fit ok, but stick out the side of the shell. Probably won't be able to finish this for about 2 weeks, depending on international shipping. Time to build the nitro st I have sitting as a roller. Got a force .32 or a picco p3 to put on it. Going to flog it to fund a savage flux hp Edited August 26, 2014 by Huktonfonics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are looking good. I think you put the guards on the st the wrong way round though. Looks like it would be slightly narrower if swapped over. I deffo need some stiffer springs on mine. I weighed it the other day and its 4 kilos! Apparently I can get white springs for mine which are stiffer but by how much I do not know. I need to measure my springs to find out what else fits. I also need some t-bones too. ....and your brushless st lol. Edited August 26, 2014 by optimus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
