callum94 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Ive never heard of it, but looking it up i see its HSP... Avoid it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JA3lis Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 HSP I wouldnt touch. It was my first nitro and a pain in the you know what. It was constantly breaking and would take ages too get the parts in. Just my opinion though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich79 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Stick with the established brands! I won't name the obvious!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars_theGuy Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 HYPER 7yh people are gonna shout at me now but its the best buggy for bashing and still pretty competitive at club level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pieman5 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 HYPER 7yh people are gonna shout at me now but its the best buggy for bashing and still pretty competitive at club level. I agree, for a good general nitro buggy, you cant beat a hyper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars_theGuy Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 or if you're wantin somethin more competitive go for the rtr x1-cr on modelsport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 The hyper is a nice buggy but why dont you go for one of these Instead? If I had the choice again I would go for the Hong Nor I think. I've got nothing against the hyper. Mine has never skipped a beat but every one has a hyper.

callum94 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 You can beat a hyper, the new hong nor x1 cr and theres 100's of spares and hop ups on JEspares. They're twice as strong as a hyper and have the 16mm big bore shocks as stock.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Looking at the spec of the buggy, it's a cheap buggy...but you pretty much always get what you pay for! The radio kit that gets supplied with it will be of low quality ( The one Nitrotek include is a low cost 27Mhz AM job ) and the whole thing is advertising 'features' like a single needle carb for ease of tuning ( read: impossible to tune it to run well ) and things like a '2.5mm aluminium chassis ...(read: at least 25% too thin to be any good on the rough ) Aluminium suspension arms ( read: what would you EXPECT them to be made of? cheese? Hit a bump or a jump and they take a beating) and so on. If all you want to do is trundle round the local park, then it will probably be OK. Try to do more and I can see it breaking into little tiny pieces quite a lot. To be honest, buying cheap will not be the best introduction to the hobby and whilst I fully understand that money is hard to come by these days, you really want to get the most from the thing for as long as possible.

I've got nothing against the hyper. Mine has never skipped a beat but every one has a hyper. I may be wrong but aren't Hong Nor and Hobao part of the same parent company? The parts seem pretty much interchangable and on the Ofna site the Jammin cars/trucks look not unlike Hoing Nor stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwash pro Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 tnx guys. for all your advice but im gunna go with the hyper 7 sport! http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=ShowSpecification&ItemID=26658 tell me what you think cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Trooper Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 get the green one, easier to tune. My mac* been difficult, or get the Hyper 7 black! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich79 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Hmm the black one is supposed to be a race tuned .21 so that might be difficult if your new to it. TBH I've not had any trouble with Mac* engines maybe just got lucky! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Looking at the details on that Hyper 7 with the .28Cu motor, that is a lot of buggy for the money, and should go well. The tuned .21 is for those who want to go racing in competition, but would be a bit more temperamental in 'ordinary' use. Though I don't own a HoBoa buggy myself, there are lots here who do, so you should have no probelm getting advice on setup etc. Also, there seems to be a decent spares backup for them too. VERY important for a first buggy. If I wasn't saving my pennies up for a HPI Baja, I might be tempted to add this to my shopping list for next summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
