They are bullet-proof buggies. Had 4 of them in the last 20 years. My latest one is the updated version. Replaced the steering servo (too slow), shocks (big bores) and installed an OS .21 and its still very completive at club racing. Heavy, but it handles well and never breaks.
Found one of these on eBay for a great price, comes today. I'm so pumped, it even has the optional two speed. Never had a two speed in a buggy, should be a fun ride. Thanks for the video, its helping calm my excitement.
FYI...alot of the chassis suspension parts arms upper lower links diff and gears are interchangeable with the extinct Duratrax 835e I've been using them.
I've had numerous hyper 7s nitro and converted to brushless. I also had the hyper 9 now that was excellent but wasn't taken up in a big way. Parts support was the hyper9 down fall. If I wanted another nitro then hyper 7 with the 3 port .21 would me my choice as unfortunately the Mach .28 was a pain to tune. There was a group of us all with hyper 7s of differing ages but could all swap or provide parts for each other. Performance for price and durability has to be the best in the industry. Handling with some tuning basics was amazing. Diff oils set up was front 5k centre 7k rear 3k for nitro. I've been in the hobby 30 years had just about every brand for rtr stuff. Hyper 7 is still carries great memories.
I've got a GS Storm, I'm sure I've swapped out hyper parts that looked like they fit, it's quite similar and used the hyper 21 engine, I try and buy rollers for spares if they come up, the diffs are bullet proof, I've got a 5.9 savage motor in it😁.
That has what happened to my Sportwerks Mayhem. I bought it in 2003 or 04' I raced it for a while. I packed her away for 20 ish years. I have just pulled them back out. I do have some spare parts but as you said. It is hard to find parts for, so no bashing lol. I will be buying a new one. I like the Hyper 7 Buggies.
I put diff fluid in the diffs that have orings to seal them. I hope they hold fluid haven't run it yet waiting on some engine parts to find out. They are really cheap right now rtr and it's a limited sale with a limited number of stock for sale. I could have gone used losi cause there is a ton out there on market place but can't trust horizon hobbies to actually have parts with how things have been going.
@@RazorRCDeuce Update on the diffs. There is a oring that goes on top of the case between the ring gear. I'm 3/4 of a gallon in and they haven't leaked yet. Ran a quart and a half at the track on sunday. Broke the stock chassis brace have the solid aluminum ones on the way, have the upgraded aluminum hubs. I'm no amain guy but the platform can still go out and run a 20 minute main with the rest of them. I could see wanting something more down the line but not right now.
