Yeah she's genuinely interested too, she's drove my cars a few times, an she sees it as a day out together, so can't be bad, but she's like me, a fair weather basher lol

Just got to remind her to wear sensible shoes and coat :P

We spent the weekend in shrewsbury, an all she kept saying was we could drove the cars on there, or there, we should have bought the cars lol

Always been a sucker for the hyper 8's - my favorite buggy.  Sold my race car version after I exited racing for a while.  Biggest mistake ever - never been able to drive another buggy as well - so I bought two and restored em. Dig it.  Making one spare parts and the other as light weight as I can and race worthy again.  I see no reason why it cant compete with current models [ other than it needs to go on a diet ]

 

Like to see other fella's keeping them runnin ... nice work ... ST Pro towers?  interesting!  How do you like the 2047 pipe?  Since I can no longer find the 2027 Eureka  /  Hong Nor pipes  - I was going to give that 2047 a go with a double bent manifold - like we run on the 2027's.

My new motor has arrived for the 7 - Turnigy 3674 2200kv as it's the best can I can get (bar the HPI scream) that will pair with the 80a esc I have spare.  Annoyingly I have a 14t, 3x15t and then 19's and 20's - so will go with the 15t for now.  A 'normal' 4068/74 at this kv would prob pair lovely with a 17t in my experience, so we'll see what this does temp wise at 15 and go from there.

So it's nearly time to pay for my hyper 7. Is there any spares I need to stock up on? What diff oil do I need to get? Any recommendations on receiver packs?

Wheel and diff bearings :whistling:
