alturner Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Been out today with the Hyper, and thought I'd do a review of the protective cover. The grass was pretty wet and muddy: However the cover did a cracking job of protecting the leccy bits, and the buggy is nice and clean inside: For the bargain price of about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack R8 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 wow that is good, think ill buy one where did you get it? ps then all i need is a brushless buggy lol, i suppose the temps were higher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alturner Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 They were a bit higher, but nothing worrying. Got it from ebay. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=181040656723&index=17&nav=SEARCH&nid=71332105463 Think they do them for other cars, but reckon the hyper one will fit loads of different buggies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOFX Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I've had one for a few years, works a treat . Worth cuttin a hole above the motor to let the heat out though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Might be reasonable for a 'light use' electric. Anything heavy duty, and certainly IC, I'd have my doubts - these need as much cooling as possible. Daz, I think you'd be better looking for some form of deflectors - my FG MT gets LOADED with mud when I have 'a little bash' outside the house and it takes me 3-6 days to clean it! Al.

MAZ Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 You guys tried Vladimir? He'll sort ya good. Is Vladimir the guy that was selling them on here awile back? Do you know if he still sells them? If he does, are they the same as the ones from ebay? I really want one for my Hyper ST too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 As i mentioned, cut a hole for the motor to cool There's also the minor thing called the 'tuned pipes' of these things - cover half of the vehicle. I remain open-minded but await photos of installations before I'll consider one. My FG MT gets roasting inside the shell, despite all of the open air. Closing these lower areas up may not be a good idea. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alturner Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) Urgh.. What, you mean use my own initiative?... Urgh... I think I seem to remember seeing a thread from Vladimir. I think it's his mum or auntie that makes them? and yes they're the ones on the bay. I'll see how close the hyper 7 one gets to fitting my st and get back to you if you could just use that one Edited January 2, 2013 by alturner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
