andy_ls26 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Hi Ladies and Gents, Been snooping around for a bit so I thought it would be time to introduce myself and ask you expert for a bit of advice. Had a Sand Rover years and years ago then bought myself a Tamiya Gravel Hound a few months back to have a play in the garden. I now think I'm ready for the Nitro stuff and after some model advice. Looking on here and eBay I've narrowed my choice 'I think' down to either a secondhand Kyosho Inferno or a Hoboa Hyper 7. Anyone got any for's or against's each particular model ? The Hyper 7 seems a little more supported ? Any help would be appreciated. Cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcsammy Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 welcome to the forum out of those 2 definatly get the hyper 7, it has much better hop ups and spares backup and is alot more popular so there will be more people to help you with it they also come with very good and reliable engines, the only thing you should do is replace the stock stering servo with a high torque metal geared one as the stock one is rubbisha nd will break very soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcsammy Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Whats the difference between PBS, TQ, TQ Sport & Pro ?? over heres theres basicaly the.. TQ sport...basic rtr buggy comes with the 4 port .21 engine TQ sport mach .28....same but orange and with a .28(this engine can not be raced at some clubs) PBS...pivot ball suspension, better for racing as there is more adjustability with the PBS it comes with the slightly fater .21 8 port and the pro UK which is kit i think and either comes with no engine or with the .21 8 port...this has all the goodies on for racing basicaly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesChatz Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 although doent come with an engine Oops didnt see that. Oh well at least you have the chance to run it in, and know exactly what its been put through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_ls26 Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 well despite a lot of useful advice from you all I went for option 1 The second one although had a lot of spare parts it did'nt have an engine, receiver or air filter hose thing. Spoke to the other guy and he assures me its all ready to run and is as new. He said its got a good new 'Siro' engine in it and comes with starter box as well. He also said he'll through in a few spare shells and bit and bobs so we'll see what turns up - all for the sum of £250 including postage to my door. You'll probably all tell me I've been ripped off, but I'm happy with my purchase (so far) and can't wait to get her running . . . . . will keep you posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
