bestyuk Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Hi all, I am wanting a tough 1:8 buggy with plenty of spare parts availability. I had an inferno ve which was great but parts were a bit expensive and harder to get hold of. My question is would i be better of getting a hyper 7 new or used and selling the bits i didn't need and getting an electric conversion kit. Or just getting the newer hyper ss electric roller ? Anyone know what would be better in electric form? Is the absima brushless conversion kit on ebay ok for converting the hyper 7 over to electric or are there better conversion kits? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jony nitro Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I like the SS e version looks ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreenByte Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I brought a Hyper 7 roller and have been doing a conversion for a while and I now wished I had got the SS-E. The only thing I wasn't sure about was how easy it was to get parts for the SS. I hope to get my car running for the first time this weekend and will give an account of my conversion - build experience and the cost on here soon.

bestyuk Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Cool, be interesting to see what the outcome is. What electric conversion kit did you use? motor mount battery tray etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catalin4u24 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 The SS looks good and being a HoBao parts are rather easy to find but the 7 is more durable, more solid. I don't know if you can fit upgrades from the ST or 7 to the SS, that'll be nice... Buying a nitro 7 means you'll have to spend extra on the conversion and a body shell too if you can't live with the hole left from the nitro engine in the body shell. If I were you I'd buy both , a new SS electric roller and a used 7 roller and see what parts are transferable to make the SS stronger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
