hi gang does the Hobao Hyper 7 have reverse gear ?

no mate they dont

1 speed forward unless you fit a 2 speed transmission.. :cruising: :cruising:

ive heard the suspension leaks

Take any car Bash it and it will have faults. As far as i am aware and i know The Hyper 7 is an old design but a good one. if you want a buggy to just go and have fun with then its great. Strong, Reliable, fairly inexspensive and parts are available from every where... :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up: i have one that i use for bashing..



If you are thinking that you may want to join a club and race at club level, then you will need something a bit newer and with a better chassis and running gear. they are a good starting buggy for fun and fairly well ballanced, you could also look at the Kyosho Mp7.5 or the Hpi Trophy or the new buggy from Caster. But remember no matter what you have and how much it cost, if you smash it something will break...not all the time ..Lol :lol:

hi , is it ok to chop down the aieral like in the pic.. ?

the Aerial on all my cars are all short because i run a 2.4Ghz radio system. it has a shorter aerial wire.







:cruising: :cruising: :cruising:

so would it be ok to shorten the wire on my hyper 7 ?

No mate, if you shorten the aerial wire, on your model you will affect the range..

The only reason ians wire is so short is because the 2.4ghz radio systems come with short wire as stock, because the 2.4ghz is better..

27mhz, 35mhz & 40mhz all have long wire and they have to be kept long mate :thumbs_up:

@ian that hyper 8 looks far to clean
