Imnewhere Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Currently looking at getting a hyper 7 or Kyosho mp9 tk14, my brother in law just built a off road race course in his garden (it’s huge) and we are both currently looking at kitting out a couple of buggy’s to race spec. What sort of upgrades would you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I'd start with a decent servo and controller. Other than a few metal bits there isn't a great deal you can upgrade on these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajadre Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 decent high torque /high speed servo like alex mentioned a must, if the course will have jumps involved a decent set of shocks worth the money, and decent set of tyres for grass too buddy 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorrylemming Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I'd skip the Hyper 7 and get the more modern VS2. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/hobao-hyper-vs2-1-8-nitro-rtr-buggy-with-hyper-21-engine-1339838 They also do a roller if you want to spec your own electronics and engine. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/hobao-hyper-vs2-1-8-nitro-roller-buggy-1339837 After that decent servos, a lipo RX battery and the right tyres for your track. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me the electric stuff, I mean no disrespect but it feels more like one of my child’s toys compared to a nice little engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
