Hi, I was bouncing around these forums some months ago asking questions about nitro cars and particularly my Losi XXX-NT but only just got money to do anything with it. Well, I decided that actually, a 1/8 buggy was for me not a 1/10 stadium.

I am now the proud, I hope owner of a Hyper 7 which is meant to be in working order, but as always when I spend a chunk of money on something I know little about so I was wondering if you guy's would take a look at the auction for me and tell me if I did the right thing ^_^

I won this Hyper 7

Thanks in advance :D

it seems tidy enough, as long as it runs then Great. great buggy for having fun with. strong and parts are available every where. just give it a good clean and would recomend you change all the oils. :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:

By all the oils do you mean the diffs and the suspension? I'm trying to put together a list of things to order, like fuel and possibly tools so that I can get it working nicley on like the day I get it lol.

Good set of hex tools

30wt suspension oil should be ok, diff oils from front to back 5-7-2 is a good starting point.

Definately a failsafe.

is the Fastrax CML Racing Pure Silicone Diff Oil on modelsport ok for the job? and the Associated Shock Oil 30 Wt?

I take it I'll need to clean the parts before re-oiling, just warm soapy water, or do I need to get a specific cleaner?

as John said with the oils and some after run oil. :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:

some basic tools, alen keys, plug wrench tool, screw drivers, small long nose pliers, these will start you off.

spares: a few glow plugs, battery pack for the reciever, he quotes note sure if will be working!

What temperature plugs for the .21 3 Port BRCA Race engine?

Either of these will do you, but bolton models is better value

thanks guys, I think I'll leave it at that now as petrol, oils and the glow plugs is starting to really push my budget lol
