  1. Look at hyper 7 parts against deuce and virus ones, annsmann basically copied the design which is why many parts are intercompatible
  2. Got a link to is white plug thing? I could build a led harness to fit potentially
  3. Yeah hyper 7 fits that criteria nicely
  4. Deuce is pretty much a hyper 7. They make alright money as rollers, not a lot for parts as they are dirty cheap in pieces new!
  5. Trouble is you need to keep the car balanced, otherwise it'll make the handling horrid. I find that mine gets covered in crud too easily in that position too, so I am going to try and protect it a bit more.
  6. It would be too big for 1/10, however a smaller version would do the same job!
  7. You have prob still got the plastic hex in your old wheels pop them out and fit them back onto the car
  8. Agreed, Shame cos it's probably alright!
  9. Hyper 7 is about as cheap as they get mixed in with good build quality
  10. That's why I mentioned everything I run so that it can be taken into account and yes I would imagine the fans will definitely be needed on more cells!
  11. I would imagine they have made them in rather a huge amount, so it'll be a fair while before they sell the faulty ones...and that's even if they bother to sort the problem! I just repaired one today and the circuit board was awful, the trace was falling off at one point! Luckily I can sort that kinda stuff...
  12. Got to say I am tempted! I shall see if the hyper grows on me first
  13. I'm intrigued in getting more clearance out of my hyper 7 now, cos its actually really terrible off road! How have the truggy wheels worked out so far? Just wondering if it's worth me selling my hyper as a roller and looking out for a truggy roller but I don't know what's comparable to a hyper 7 in terms of parts availability and low price?
  14. 18t has been perfect for my 2650 turnigy trackstar on a stock spur, with a 150A EZrun ESC and 2s lipo. I run 3 fans, but really they aren't needed at all! It's just me being cautious after my last motor died. I'm fairly new so I'm probably thrashing the old thing quite a lot, with plenty of stop starts. My shell is also a nitro one and so the precut holes create plenty of air flow Temp gun says without fans: Esc temp 32c Motor temp 36c Battery temp 41c And with fans the motor changes to 28c!
