lilllad83 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I've had a look around the hyper 7 conversion threads, and there are a few! Im wondering what motor mount you would recommend after having used them for a while etc as I know it's quite an old car, I've only managed to find the rcm, integy and ansmann mounts (no uk stock) are there any others I've missed that might be in stock in uk? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NABSTAR14 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 i would go for the RC MONSTER one mate there stronger than ansmann ones and not many people stock them in the uk unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilllad83 Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 cheers lads, Is the tc one not the same as the ansmann? Has anyone used a cc 2200kv in the ansmann...does it fit ok? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slugsie Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I have the Ansmann kit with a 2200kv HobbyKing motor and I'm very happy with the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Ansmann kit with a 2200kv HobbyKing motor and I'm very happy with the results. Did u have probz fitting the batts tray as I've seen a few people struggling needing holes drilling etc? If I got the rcm mount can anyone recommend a batts tray that's min modding to install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NABSTAR14 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 the ansmann conversion kit is meant for a hyper 8 so only the battrey trays needed drilling, the motor mount fits perfectley i also run it, its perfect havent had any issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpm racing uk Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 This should be a direct fit http://www.modelsport.co.uk/team-c-brushless-conversion-kit-for-ethnic-hobao-hyper-7-ansmann-virus-terrier/rc-car-products/369638 Also get a plate to mount your receiver with this kit I believe!

Slugsie Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Yup, I had to drill a few extra holes in the chassis. Not a great difficulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id seen that, I emailed ms but they said they've been waiting for a delivery for ages and won't have it in the forseable future :-/ Or i would have ordered asap :-( I have the Ansmann kit with a 2200kv HobbyKing motor and I'm very happy with the results. Is that the same size as the castle/Sirius 2200? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big turbo Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I used this kit Look at this on eBay: Brushless Conversion Kit for Hobao Hyper 8 w-Pinion Gear also SPRINT CAR c23710 http://bit.ly/NIsc4m You do have to drill 3 holes for the battery tray but it's really easy. Motor mount fits perfectly. You will need longer Velcro straps for 5s or 6s and the pinion is no good as its to small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugsie Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) is it the redish motor? Nope, blue. I think this is the same as the one I have: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HOBBYWING-XERUN-Sensored-4274SD-2200KV-Motor-150A-ESC-LCD-Program-Card-ME241-/270877044971?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item3f1187b0eb Edited July 20, 2012 by Slugsie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flash22 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 the ansmann one is plenty strong enough no problems with mounting a 1965kv hpi flux i got my kit via modelsport it only took 5 days from ordering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naymo Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I used the ansmann kit in hyper 7/virus mix, ive used castle 2200/2650 am now on leopard 2000 4274. although these motors do rub on the chassis due to being girthy the conversion kit does work very well. i have also changed the layout from ansmanns instructions, i will post pics when i get it out for its weekend run around:D Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilllad83 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Recon I'll get the ansmann setup then as u get all that's needed for the conversion etc.. I like the way u layed ur steering servo on it's side to accommodate the rx, where did u get the mounts for side ways mounting? Mine are just straight up posts, also what shocks are they as mine are adjusted with plastic clips, which pop out when landing from tiny jumps lol Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naymo Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Like i said earlier its a hyper 7/ansmann virus hybrid, servo mounts are from virus 2 as are the shocks. I had to drill quite a lot of the chassis but its worth ut in the end Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2 Edited July 21, 2012 by naymo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilllad83 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Nice looking job there m8, I guess there the ansmann chassis braces aswel.. How much did u spend doing the conversion roughly? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
