Very interesting on the history! Ofna was not that great to deal with in my experience back in the day. Part of the reason that I went for the conversion was finding that the hyper 7 is actually still made and largely the same (however many components are cheaper versions than what they used to...

Running 4s now, would be fun to try 6s, not sure the tires would be up to it though!

It was a lot of fun building it then experiencing brushless power!

Well, the conversion is complete! Made a quick video.

Yeah, I may eventually get a radiolink rc 4 or 6. The current one is old, but works well and is full featured. Only the Ng I have noticed is some newer ones have gyros built in which could be cool.

Making some progress. Really just waiting on a battery now. I'm pretty happy with how it's coming out so far. I got a bit impatient and wanted to do some quick testing and checking so I rigged a 20v power tool battery to go in. I can't drive it too rough since it is more likely to fall outfall...

Ok, thanks! Planning on 4s

Just a bit of an update: I got the conrod from Australia and the Hyper is at it again! In the meantime, I also got a a Mamba Monster X ESC 2200KV combo to install. I have sourced a motor mount (Hyper VSE), battery tray (Losi 8ight), and a receiver/servo mount (Hyper VSE). Also I got an Arrma...

Yes, it does have all metal gearing throughout. I managed to buy a conrod from Australia. Maybe it will work for a bit.

I would love to get into a kit car, but it seems like a roller starts off at a higher price than all the RTRs. I would really enjoy a build with my son, but I know that route could easily be $1200 all said and done. I guess back in the day I bought an rtr, then a roller kit and transferred parts...

Thanks! I guess mostly just bashing and medium jumps. Messing around probably on pavement and some grass. No buggy track nearby, but it would be nice to be capable on a track. There's a 10th scale dirt oval nearby but I imagine that wouldn't fit a buggy too well but it could be fun for a bit.

The semi local hobby shops (about an hour away) say to get an arrma over the phone. The basic ones seem like a downgrade though with a plastic chassis. Hesitant to get away from the hyper 7 it's been really tough and is a blast to drive. I guess also some sentimental value/memories to it too...

I did start with an inexpensive RTR buggy, but I found that many things on it were cheap and were always needing resetting, retightening, more maintenance. where the Hyper 7 pro had a lot of upgrades that alleviated those annoyances. I also see hobao seems to still stock a lot of the part...

Hello, First post. I used to run this buggy when I was about 13, then again when I was about 19. Now my 11 year old has taken an interest in it. So I got new batteries for the starter box, receiver, and transmitter. found that the steering servo went bad, so I got a new one of those too. The old...
