They're just for authenticity with the 27mhz AM radio too xD
I do have a HPI hump pack laying around somewhere probably in step dads car lol.
Order of proceedings Engine > Body Shell > 2.4 Radio Gear > New Wheels and tires
It arrived today finally lol. Wasn't too bad postage time. Yet the packaging was rather poor to be honest.
Is the receiver batteries supposed to go here? Only place I could see them going
I would love to be able to press "Buy it Now" I just haven't got the funds xD I'll add to watch list and hopefully it's still there lol. Always wondered are .21 Clutches, flywheels and bell housings all universal? Or are they engine specific?
It takes a maximum safe charge of 1.6a (1600mah/100 gives you the charge rate) I would keep it at 1A. If you want it to charge quicker do it at 2A just be warned it will reduce it's life span and it can get hot so just keep an eye on it. I still would just keep it on the 1A
Say If I were to go brushless would this be the kinda thing to look out for?

Hmm they look to be a bit to professional for my application haha.
I think that's what I'm going to aim for mostly. Who know's whats going to pop up when I have some money to spend on it haha
Ahh okay thanks. I think i'll go 2nd hand lol.
Something like this would be great xD http://www.modelsport.co.uk/hong-nor-f5.9cc-r36-pullstart-engine/rc-car-products/30040
Yeah like anything I would rather get new but I can't justify spending upwards of £80 for an engine when the car cost £90 xD
Looks like it's a job for next month. Unless I can find some more things to sell haha
I would like to run brushless just I haven't got the money to do it and I am a bit apprehensive about it after having a cheapo brush less car lol. I think I will drop in a .21 or bigger if it's cheap enough lol.
What sort of money would a .21 fetch to drop into here?
PBS? What's that about? I would like to stick to nitro as we already have everything I need to keep em going bar an engine of course lol. I'll have a look at the Hobby wing kits. Whats the highest KV/Turns you would want for something like this? I was thinking 2500 or below is the sweet spot for 4/6s ?
As the title says I have just bought my self a hyper 7 which looks in really great nick! Coming with everything but engine and body shell

Question is do I chuck a cheap engine in there and bash it till the engine dies. Or just make it a longer project and convert to lipo power? Discuss
Thanks
