DUBZN1 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 So which should I go for ? Hyper 7 ? Why ? Hpi vorza ? Why ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vr5fx Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Hyper 7. Hobao or Ofna are pretty robust cars. Especially Hyper 7/8/9/ST/SC Stick a set of T-bones on and they will take a pasting. Parts are cheap and plentiful, parts are also cheaper from Hong Kong. with the right brushless they go like stink. HPI is overpriced for what you get.

optimus Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I had fun building my 7. Spent a load of money but it was still like half the price of a new vorza. My shocks are in need of tuning though as it feels a bit soft with 35wt oil on but too slow to react with 50wt. I need to put diff oil in the front and rear too but doing that stuff is part of the fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimus Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Needs painting too but even with no paint its better looking than the Hpi. If you're bashing just get the hyper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3nas Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 If you have the money vorza without doubt but hyper 7 are just as good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayy Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 as a owner of both the vorza and hyper7 brushless, id go with the vorza its a tank doesnt need any upgrades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jony nitro Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Had both Vorza bar far the better car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jony nitro Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 The Vorza needs 112 mm rear shock with the Hara rear tower and few sets of springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUBZN1 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Well I had a hyper but I was offered a trade on it so I went ahead Put my 2650 motor in it but feel I need a lower kv to get full potential Or have I got that wrong ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jony nitro Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 4s is fine for 2650, 5/6s is lower Kv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUBZN1 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Might need a bigger pinion as 18t I'm running seems to top out quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUBZN1 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 I'm unsure , I've not had the diff assemble off yet but I believe it's standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUBZN1 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Super I'll get one It already has the 12mm shocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimus Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Considering how much the Vorza costs it sounds like a good deal if it was a straight swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jony nitro Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 112 mm it's need the higher rear tower, to go with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUBZN1 Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Optimus , it was roller for roller It has some silly rear toe for some reason and I don't like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimus Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Optimus , it was roller for roller It has some silly rear toe for some reason and I don't like it Ah, is that the one that was in the classifieds? Even as a roller vorza's are more expensive so really once you've thrown your leccys in there you'll have a whole car for quite abit less than you would have paid buying it ready to go. Regarding setup, I have no clue. How much toe / camber / front / rear would you run anyway? I think the shocks on mine are ok as a guy at my LHS said felt decent but it slaps the floor when dropped from just under a foot off the floor. My 1:10 could be dropped from much higher before slapping but the guy said this was due to the weight of the 7.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUBZN1 Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Yes it was Glad I've got another hyper to build though as I'm not so sure about the vorza yet I already had my electrics but if I hadn't then it would have been an expensive do Anybody else's vorza really noisey ? Like rough sorta noisey ? Going to pull diffs apart and see what score is inside them Yes mine bottoms out too !!!!! And my hyper didn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_seyfarth Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 The steel spur and pinion is what makes the noise from a Vorza. Nothing else should be making noises. It is normal with the toe on the rear. It is the same as with the race buggy D8 which shares a lot of parts with the Vorza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUBZN1 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Is there any blocks that have 0 degree toe in available ? It looks horrible and doesn't feel all that stable When I open the front and rear boxes , they were dry Greased them up and is a little quieter Center diff seems a little light on the oil so I'm goin to put little heavier weight oil in I think another set of springs would help it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
