You'll find some people recommend others. Best place depends if your in a hurry and how much you want to pay. Usually cheapest from ebay Hong Kong.

CandiCane91 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I've found some on eBay just says OS No.8 Medium so I gues I'll buy some of them. Also a mate of mine said when I get my car to change the steering servo to a metal geared one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd say that's better to get then? I don't mind paying that kind of money if it's better for the car! Like a mini project car it's going to be. I like doing cars up and seeing as I can do my own up this will do! Plus had my parts delivered yesterday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT1 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I would choose the 1256 TG for the power over the1258. The 1256 was developed for MTs and it is up to the job. I have one in my Typhon(e buggy) and it has been a treat so far after several hours of RC off road (real RC off road track) running. You'll want to be running a 5 cell rx pack(6.0 v) to get the power out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT1 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 What is powering your receiver in the car? If it is 4 AA size batteries in a pack that is 4.8 volts and it is not going to be enough, 5 cells will be 6 volts and that 1256 servo needs 6 volts to put out 20 kilograms of torque.

I haven't got the car yet doesn't come till next week. I can look at the spec online to see if I can find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandiCane91 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Doesn't say anything on the site about what it is. I've been told to get this though which I'm guessing I'd get if it is 4.8 volts and I want that 1256 servo http://www.modelsport.co.uk/modelsport-uk-6v-receiver-battery-and-quick-charger-pack-hump-pack-/rc-car-products/387990 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some use these, never tried them myself so can't comment but some people like them and others don't. Maybe worth a try ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.K Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I've been running Alturns in most of my cars for the last couple of years. Those Ultra High Torque servos were fitted to my Hyper 8.5 and currently in my Sworkz 350 evo - still no problems, good servos for the price IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumper Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 yes run until you break something, then upgrade the part or replace the part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT1 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Find and bookmark good places for parts replacements, sure enough you will break something. I haven't ran my PBS yet, I hope I can find parts for it when it breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandiCane91 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Cant run it yet sillys got to wait to get it first ?! I have found loads of sites for parts if I break anything got that covered. But does anyone know any good sites on how to replace things when they break like guides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 the manual is best for that, also check youtube as well. plenty of videos for everything https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=hyper+7+repair&safe=off&espv=2&source=lnms&tbm=vid&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiGp73TlenMAhXsAsAKHcWABbAQ_AUICCgC&biw=1904&bih=2007 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandiCane91 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Thank you for that. Very useful :)! What tools will I need for the car, screw drivers etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 A set of good Allen keys are a must. They should all be metric on a hyper 7 but it's best to have a set of imperial just in case. Standard screws aren't use that much on decent 1/8th but they may still be useful. Long nose piers and wire cutters are good as well. You'll need a 17mm socket to get the wheel nuts on and off if it doesn't already come in the box. Also a drill is useful for loads of things, even if not rc related. Another thing is I would recommend threadlocking any screws that go into metal that are attached to moving parts like the engine mount and also the wheels nuts as they like to fly off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandiCane91 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Jumper- any links for the best stuff to get? I'll get the imperial Allen keys and what would you say best screw driver set to get? I've got the rest wire cutters and long nose piers and a drill of course lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I don't know any decent brands tbh, I just buy tools that have good reviews. Maybe look on Amazon or eBay or in a local hardware shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
