Red MG Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Well hello everyone, it might well say Red Mg as the user name but its DirtyElectro here and I'm finally back into RC 🙂 and what better way to do it than an oldskool Hyper 7 🙂? It was my first 1/8th back in the day so why not 👍🏻 I'm doing a restoration/fun buggy so dont expect mad bashing etc, just happy too be back into the hobby🙂. No brushless conversions here.

Red MG Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 I've seen woodscrews in many a Hyper but the only thing holding on the back plate was 3 of the above and a good dose of silicon 🤣. Too be fair the guy who sold it recognised the motor issue and gave me a .21 8port bottom end as a replacement so cant be all bad, and its got ceramic bearings ...............🤔 Rest of buggy fine 🤣 I love these missions, where's my special cola?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red MG Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 Bought 20 of them, nice and smooth bearings so thats the diffs, outdrives and wheel bearings sorted 👍🏻 I dont need rubber sealed as it will never go out in the rain etc. Will keep the rubber sealed as spares 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
