Sogz Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) Hi, I’m thinking of getting an rc car. I found a hyper 7.5 for sale and was wondering, what items I’d need. Are the following pictures the correct items i would need to start up the hobby. I added photos of the car I’ve also seen for sale. Any advice/tip would be great Edited December 13, 2021 by Sogz Spelling mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
300bhp/ton Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 It all kinda depends. As it looks like you are looking at a used purchase. If so, what does it come with? As for getting into the hobby, are you planning on racing? Where will you be using it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogz Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 The car comes with everything in the first two pictures, the controller glow stick and glow stick charger. I'm just looking at using it mainly for field use I wouldn’t be racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajadre Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 send the seller a pm buddy and ask how long hes had it and how many tanks hes put through the engine etc buying second nitros is a mind field unless you know what your doing mind 👍what price doe he have it up for Sogz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogz Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 It’s up for£100 but I have seen a Hpi savage for £250. And thank you for the tips really appreciate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 if the seller wouldnt mind, take the heatsink off and have him take a picture of the top of teh piston. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogz Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 This is the description of the Hpi savage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I'm no expert on nitro let alone buggies really... But £100 is cheap as chips, if the rig runs I'd be inclined to go for it.. That or do more research and look then 👍 One point of note re nitros, they are proper noisy and quite dirty messing with fuel. Hopefully the area you will run it in will be ok with that (noise ).. Goodluck and enjoy your RC whenever you find one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodluck and enjoy your RC whenever you find one! looks the same as my hyper 7 black which is a total tank, even same shocks and colour of the shell, solid car for the price and easy to convert to leccy which i done with mine a while back, all depends on what state the engine is in though 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
