new...lots to learn!

[jack-t87]

so from thinking I want to spend £200 on  a new BSD racing flux, I have since been persuaded to go for a used car, and have been brought in to the world of brushless hyper 7's! So with many numbers and letters to work out the meaning of (esc, 2000kv, 6s etc) I am trying to work out what to do! 

[evssv]

first off buy a decent tidy roller............and one of these...https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LOSA4461-Team-Losi-Battery-Tray-8E-New-in-Package/321573532965?epid=2255631238&hash=item4adf46b525:g:6Q4AAOSwqYZZuuH1

and a hobbywing max combo 2000-2200kv......http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hobbywing-EZRUN-MAX8-Combo-with-Twin-Deans-HW38010400/253182981135?epid=1265036187&hash=item3af2e1b40f:g:SO0AAOSwuLRZz2Ow

one of these off our very own dazp on here....

thens the main bits u`ll need.....then obv a charger asnd sum 4s lipos......or 6s if u want crazy speed/power.........u can spend less on the combo but hobbywing r the go to set up imo......

[jack-t87]

well the price is already 180. what combo (does that mean esc and motor?) would you want to see on a h7?

Martin is a friend of mine, but my thoughts stand regardless.  I haven't seen this one in the flesh but from the pics it looks as new.  One of the (few) weaker parts of the H7, the knuckles have been swapped out for cnc ones so bar a huge prang they should last.  The only other upgrade I'd fit is Hyper ST front and rear shock towers - the stock one's are fine for flat work but like all rtr's they don't stand up long term to jumping.

 

As for combo 2650kv on 4S is the perfect match for the H7 imo - and i've run them with all sorts from 1800kv up.  5/6S is overkill for a 1/8 buggy - the small benefit in run time by using a lower kv motor on a higher voltage is lost when you can't fit a big enough lipo under the shell.

 I'm after a base to learn  with so if bits need to be changed in the  future it's no bad thing. I'll probably be getting used parts anyway! pretty much done a deal with a 3s lipo a.d charger, so just need to to bite the bullet! 

[evssv]

but u can change the combo at a later date if need b.....sweet....hypers r good rc`s imo...I`ve had mnie years now....
