Wraithstorm67 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 hi all got myself a hyper 7 which I can't wait to break in but to be honest I don't like the battery holder and was wondering if there is a sealed battery holder which will take a hump pack Instead of the standard holder thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannymitchell506 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I've got a brand new tq2 and I can't wait to break it in either , I've just bought the stick pack which is supposed to fit better in the battery pack but it doesn't fit at all , I was wondering the same question what else can we do?

Anthoop Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) The older Hyper 7 has the battery outside of the box...and it will use a flat battery pack...the newer TQ2 has a box that will only hold a hump pack... Both the hump and flat battery are water proof...generally (and within reason)...you can put the newer (TQ2) box on the older cars and vice versa. Old style has two different battery mounts...one for a four times AA or hump pack and one for a flat pack...but the battery will always be external I've got a brand new tq2 and I can't wait to break it in either , I've just bought the stick pack which is supposed to fit better in the battery pack but it doesn't fit at all , I was wondering the same question what else can we do?

Oh and if you want to buy a TQ2 box then look up marderboy on Ebay... Edited December 18, 2014 by Anthoop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraithstorm67 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 I think the receiver space should be ok I use the dx2e receivers which are smaller than the hyper ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthoop Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Yes..I am old school. TQ2 box with servo plate/etc. from marderboy- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HYPER-7-7-5-UPGRADED-RADIO-TRAY-COMPLETE-FITS-AND-LOOKS-MINT-NEW-/261705410228?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item3ceedba6b4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro RC Nerd Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 This is my current battery setup. I actually switched from the 'newer' version to this (due to extremely tight fit of the Spektrum rx I'm running). The Hobao rx is incredibly small compared to most other rxs. . I've long wanted to try a forward mount on this vehicle, and I have the laydown tray, which if I get creative think I can do. Regardless, I've had zero problems with the below.
