Love my Hyper 7

[michaelm67]

Hey Guys !
Had my hyper 7 TQ .28 for about a month now and I love it. It goes like a rocket and can take a fair bashing Prior to buying it, I had been told by my LSH that the bigger engine can be a right bugger to start but I have had no such problem. The only problem I would say I have is that the standard AA battery pack will not last any more than about 1 hour running time.
Is there any reason for this or is it normal? Also, if I upgraded to a rechargable pack, would the servo's have any extra torque?
Thanks again, Michael

Yes, you wont get much more than an hour out of the AA's.

You will get more power and speed out of your servos by changing to a rechargable pack. The reason for this is they are 6 volts, not 4.8volts like the 4 AA's. If you look at most servo specs, they show output at 4.8, and 6v.


I will be doing a brushless set-up on a Hyper 7 TQ that I picked up on here, look for it!
