Hi, ty yeh I normally like to use ordinary foam filters with good oil proven to protect engines but just considering these although there's not many of these types around.

Hi, just wondering if anyone has had any experience with these air filters before? I'm thinking about getting one but just thought ill ask about before hand to see if they work well.

Hi, thanks for the reply that's brilliant news as I tried a 1/10 flywheel and it didn't fit as it's an SG shaft, it's nice to know the 1/8 flywheels will. This is for an Associated Nitro TC3 project car.

Hello, could anyone help please, I'm after the parts to get this running and can't find any atm. I need the flywheel, clutch and a 2 speed end bell all that fits as this is a different size shaft to most engines.

Hi all, does anyone know if the Hyper 7 front lower and upper arms fit the ansmann virus 2.0?

Hi thanks, I'm just gauging an idea of spares availability for this model, this has helped thanks.

Hi all, just wondering if the Kyosho Inferno 7.5 can interchange parts with any other models? to help keep it running. Thanks.

I have managed to get my Smartech running well now, thanks for the tuning advice.

Ok cool, thanks for the info.

Hi thanks for the info crazyfrog it's nice to know that about the HPI Trophy's although I ended up getting an Ansmann Virus 2.0 nitro for a good deal in the end, I like the looks of it and have read good things so I thought ill give it ago, it's a project to me as it could do with scrubbing up and some new parts, I like fixer uppers and I'm still learning nitro so this was ideal for me.

Thanks for the info guys, yeh I agree with the Hyper 7's durability as I did have a big crash with it ages ago and it was completely fine afterwards, I didn't realise that the spares for Kyosho's were abit thin on the ground, glad I know now thanks. Great project Kyosho you got their Nitroholic nice and thanks for the advice to check for spares availability first. Does the Ansmann Virus 2.0 version and onwards share allot of the parts with the Hyper 7? as theirs plenty of these available for all prices and conditions.

I had a Hyper 7 over 10 years ago and made the mistake of selling it a year ago as it was slightly faulty and not knowing how to repair and tune it back then and I wanted 1/10 brushless. I do like the Kyosho Inferno, any recommendation as to which one that is ok for parts? I think the DX has trouble with parts these days?

Many thanks Nitroholic for helping and sharing this knowledge, yeh it was me my lack of understanding of tuning I got my other Smartech to run very well and this was a doner for my main one. I haven't been tuning this one much as ive been enjoying my main one but I am now looking to upgrade to a 1/8 nitro buggy and I'm researching for which one to get at a good price on ebay.

Hi, thanks for replaying Nitroholic, ok that's fine this info has helped me lots thanks very much. I am in the process of sourcing a new carb at the moment and getting help with this. The engine has an SMT logo on the crank case would be interesting to know what engine this is.
