Paper in, push gears together snug, tighten, confirm it hasn't moved after done.. this is what I did so I was right in that case but thought id better check as nothing is said about this in the manual!! Hoping to start engine bed in tomorrow!!! But looking through the manual it also don't say nothing about needle settings for first start, am I right to have set both to be flush with carb body?????

PhilDorman Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Morning, I've just purchased a Hyper 9e with the sole purpose of doing speed runs. its got a HW Quicrun 150a esc and 2000kv motor. im looking for advice on spur/pinion gearing to pull as much top end speed from this combo. Any advice would be appreciated. thanks Phil P.s.

firestorm01 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Have got the hyper7 all set up now, but sadly didn't have time today to begin the engine break in process grrrrrrr!!! Hoping I can when I get home from work tomorrow!! Have been told the hyper/mach 21 engines are rather tight when new so any recommendations for the first tank run??? Would it benefit to heat engine with wife's hairdryer?? If so what temp to heat it up to??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm01 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 well got the first tank through the hyper7!!! Fired up easily, sat at a lovely idle for nearly an hour at 88.7C !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it benefit to heat engine with wife's hairdryer?? If so what temp to heat it up to??? With my Hyper .21 engine it wasnt that tight to be honest. Then i got an alpha .21. It was so tight i had to pull the engine out of the car and manually crank it over by hand for an hour. Even when heated to 300 f my starterbox wouldnt crank it over. I also recommend heating the engine before running for the first 6 tanks. I do 3 idle tanks then 6 tanks getting faster and faster each time with a sock around the engine to keep it warm and then i do some bashing until the 12 tank when i tuned it. I am 20 150cc tanks into my engine and i still have pinch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firestorm01 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Omfg!!! This hyper7 I recently bought is mental!!! Took a while to do the bed in process but that was more my fault being ill but now it all done . . . At last!! Even though I have both needles set slightly rich for the remainder of gallon of fuel I have the car just fly's!!! Had first outing over BMX track when I got home from work, I'm soooo impressed with the hyper7!!! Although the kit tyres are looking rather tired now lol!!! I have the .21 engine running on optifuel 20% and a fastrax medium turbo glow plug, any suggestions for when the gallon is all used up?? Mainly bashing although am considering racing in near future!!

Personally I prefer all my .21 engines and above on 25% if you want a bit more oil content use rtr blend bit more smokey though or race blend for a bit more poke but keep your eye on temps and not smoke trail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm01 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 hmmmm so could go onto 25% rtr with a little retune and on same glow plug??? Not worried about the extra oil as as far as i see it the little extra oil cant be a bad thing yes the race stuff will give extra poke but am on 20% rtr and this things flys already lol!!! Time to sell the firestorm me thinks!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunny Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Silly question but on hyper 7's and hyper st's some people have servo lying down on side and some have it sitting up. Any reason for this or performance related or just personal choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant say I've seen set ups any different to standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm01 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Maybe it helps lowering the centre of gravity by placing servo in a lay down position?!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyFergo Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Turbo plugs create better compression since its taped instead of needing a copper washer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumper Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 i managed to break the centre spider diff on my hyper st today it just started making this awful clicking noise and did not accelerate very fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 took mine for its first proper outing with new centre diff and tbone bumpers. i can actually jump now without worrying about breaking the front of the car as much. the tires are not looking so good. I forgot the body clips as well so i had to use a wire out of a laptop to hold it on but they snapped and the shell came off so the inside of the car got very muddy. I am very please with the waterproofness of the car as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT1 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Finally managed to pick up a motor mount. After waiting for the conversion kit forever a fellow on facebook showed off his Hyper 7 conversion, turns out the Hyper SSE mount works fine on it. So I have that now and a battery tray. Going to transfer my Arrma Typhon motor and ESC to the Hyper most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
