rippler Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) Hi guys, I haven't been in the rc scene for 2 years or so.. I have a year old Akita who used to love chasing my savage around I sold it not long back as I didn't have the time to fix it.. I recently brought a heli which is fun but the dog isn't a fan, so I'm going to get another car.. I want a buggy really and a few years ago the hyper 7 seemed the cheapest and easiest to get parts for, is this still the case?

Hyper-d Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Hi The hyper 7 is still alive and kicking, mainly due to its durability and abundance of spares readily available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rippler Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) So hyper 7 would still be the best choice? Thanks for the reply! Edited December 25, 2014 by rippler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 It's about the best of the basher buggies at it's price point. It can be raced at club level relatively competitively. But bashing is it's fort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyneil Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Have you considered brushless for the sake of the dogs safety and no moaning neighbours about the noise http://www.modelsport.co.uk/hobao-hyper-sse-rtr-1-8th-scale-electric-buggy-with-2.4ghz-radio-system-blue-/rc-car-products/385552 Or check for sale section there's a few who have converted the hyper 7 to brushless plus it is faster than nitro and less setting up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rippler Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 Think he likes the noise! He just chases it around and I don't have any neighbours for about a mile in each direction so that's not an issue I did think about brushless but they just hold to much money.. I've found a hyper I'm picking up today for 110 so hopefully it should do the job! Thanks for the help guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rippler Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Well I brought it It's good enough for what I want I have a bump box and it has a flywheel for it as well as a pull start so bonus! I may put 2.4 ghz on it.. Then again I may not! Haven't had it running yet mainly because the receiver is flat and has this type of connector for it Does anyone know what sort of charger I need for it?

smeghead28 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Did you get some money off it for the free dirt that was included Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rippler Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 That was extra! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeghead28 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 That was extra! Personally I wouldn't buy an RC that looked like that myself. Shows neglect to me if you cant be bothered to clean it up before selling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rippler Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 To be fair to the guy I got him to end the auction early.. I'll give it a spruce up when I get home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdaxner Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 This charger will be fine for charging your hump pack - http://www.modelsport.co.uk/fusion-tx-rx-delta-peak-ac-charger/rc-car-products/32525 When I ran nitro I used to use this charger as an alternative as it offered slightly more options for charging stick packs and the like - http://www.modelsport.co.uk/fusion-vector-nx85-delta-peak-ac-dc-charger/rc-car-products/37637 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
