Covers are good mate, could be slightly bigger i spose. I aint fully fitted it yet.

do you reckon they'd be easy to make? - my wife is a bit of a wizz on the sewing machine

[jtheg]

Yeah i reckon so bit of material some elastic and some velcro, but it might cost more to make than buy mate

I was thinking about kindly asking/begging/pleading with my wife to make me one out of the same sort of material and having a really good fit to it. Also having a vent on the motor side would aid the cooling - might be more expensive but could mabye make another 3 or 4 covers from whats left and sell them on

[Jack R8]

dont like your thread, looking at your conversion, makes me want to do another! lol nice build though dude loving the cf wrap

[jtheg]

Are i see good idea, you could make it fit perfect and have some slatts for cooling

[MAZ]

I'm looking at different types of plastic mesh to sew/glue into a square cut out by the motornor somewhere. Ideally to let a better flow of air, but still protected from the elements

Todays update:

This cnc piece arrived today:

Goes here:

Also soldered on my 4mm bullets to tidy the wiring up:

Got some shock towers covers on the rears too

And tried its 'COAT' on:

Quality slippers for crimbo too!!!

I dont have to worry about it getting wet mines all water proof

[jtheg]

Dont forget about your batteries mate! They love getting wet (not)...

Nice build!

[jtheg]

Receiver box is here:

[MAZ]

Is that the traxxas one?

Can you do a couple of pics with the reciever in it so I can get an idea of the internal dimensions PLEeaaASSEee?!

[jtheg]

Nope its a cheap arse ZD racing one from china

[jtheg]

[MAZ]

That receiver box looks good but I need a bigger one for all the wire I stick in it.

I still really like the shock tower protectors you've got fitted - I WANT SOME!!!! lol

[jtheg]

what wires you putting in receiver box should only be 2? shock protectors are vorza ones cut in half:-)

[jtheg]

New alloy centre diff mounts arrived today, hopefully they be a bit stronger than the plastic one that's opposite the motor mount:

Turning out awesome matey :-)

This is definately the Best Hyper 7 Build I've ever seen, And Ive read a LOT of H7 build and Conversion threads

The shock protectors look great, and will save grinding down those Epic shockTowers

And when the plastic of the protectors get worn down and tatty, its a cheap disposable replacement part.

Only issue I can see is the Top battery is going to be a Liability where it is, When it comes to a heavy frontal impact the only thing holding it in are the wires at the end, pretty sure that won't survive much.

Bad crashes are going to do damage to the battery terminal areas.

Yeah agree with Gorilla, this kick my H7e's arse. That said I have been having fun with mine for the last couple of months already

Hope you've got a pukka new uncut shell to go on this.

Both the batteries are heavy duty velcroed together and trust me it can only move if the bottom one moves!! (I hope!) I might put some lexon on the end just in case!!!

No new sexy shell mate but i'm thinking of buying one moulding it and making one out of fibre glass then using that as a master mould to make a perfect internal copy... well that the idea anyway

My second 5800mah nanotech turned up today too so thats another matched pair and all can be used on our 1/10th monster trucks

[jtheg]

Are the alloy rear hubs worth getting???

[DazzaClio]

Looking good mate is this going to end up being a shelf queen though ?

As for the rear alloys hubs why don't you use it and if and when you brake or damage them then upgrade them then.

I only upgrade if and when I find the weak points I don't bother upgrading if the standard does the job fine.

Thanks.

[jtheg]

Nope no shelf queen this!!!

Good ponit on the rear hubs but i meant the uprights, i only asked as i can have some cheap (ish)
