abs109 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I swapped my used hyper7 28 (and a laptop) for a new Schumacher manic twin 36. I really liked my hyper7 always worked and run great. Not tried the truggy just always liked the idea of a truggy. Was it a good swap? Will the manic be good?

Ian w Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I have bid on a couple of these on ebay but never been lucky enough to win on. I`ve not heard anything bad about them apart from the belt drive can get jammed up with mud and muck. wether you will like it or not will remain to be seen it is very different to the Hyper. They usualy get about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I bet spares are very shy I sold my rascal Bcos parts was hard. I don't think I would have done that trade tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Spares will be a bit of an issue, but how bad depends on how hard you are on the car. Schumacher still list quite a few parts as 'in stock' http://www.racing-cars.com/scp/Old_Cars_and_Parts/Manic.html If you are a hard basher, then the Hyper would have served you better. If you like being 'different' then the Schumacher is certainly a whole lot more interesting. I love the sound of a twin nitro. The motor is basically a geared together pair of singles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
