When I built my hyper pro all the parts need to build a spefic part where grouped in the same bag, The build was real easy and the kit went together nice,

[qurve]

thank you.

i have another question: i will be running HITEC servos, and i notice the kit does not come with servo horns that fit hitec.. where could i find servo horns that would be appropriate and fit how they should in the hyper7 using hitec servos? thx..

[LouisB]

I use the hitecs too, I'm using the red servo horn that came with the servo for throttle and a blue anodized alum one for the steering.

[KOLOR KRAFT]

same here the alloy one is the way to go for the steering much stronger.

[Crashbot2001]

I had the alum horn on my steering, but the aluminum quickly developed play. The teeth got sloppy. I put the thick red on on that came with the hitec servo and I have never had a problem with it in 2+ gals now.

[LouisB]

Crashbot2001, I've run mine for just over 3 gallons and there doesn't appear to be any slop in the horn, but I'll check it out. It should be difficult to snap even a plastic servo horn with a correctly set servo-saver.

Oh yeah, I qualified 2nd in the A on sunday and finished 4th due to a receiver pack failure while leading Oh well, it was only a practice before the championship starts.

Louis - You might try Medial Pro Crystals for a grass track.

[LouisB]

Thanks, I think I found what will work. The RTR Hyper 7 tires ("=" tread) work very well as do Ellegi (sp?) Bulldogs (a bit loose), Medial Pro Turbo rats (some grip-roll)

I have the sandard kit and it didn't come with a front anti-roll bar so once I pick one up I'll be fine.

I have a OS V01B (P) engine and didn't break it in yet.

What are the needle settings for high and low speed? I read the top should be 3 turns out, the low?

On page 19 of the instructions it says the low speed should be one turn in from flush with the carb body. 3 turns out sounds about right for the high end.

I took a little (10 seconds) jump video, here
It's set-up for good handling on the track rather than jumping

Just received my Hyper 7 PBS and ordered some parts from a Hyper 7/ PRO and thought I would share some Information. Parts that will **NOT** work on the PBS from a Hyper 7/ PRO. The front shock tower, rear bottom arm ball mounts, upper front torque plate, front torque brace. I was a little diapointed when I found this out. I wanted to add a little color to the PBS. I ordered every purple option parts aval. only to find out they dont work (some of them). Thinking about sending the buggy back and getting the PRO 7. I will say this, the Hyper 7 PBS is a well built buggy. How it performs is another story, havent desided if Im going to keep it. Its a shame that not all the PRO 7 parts will fit. A Hyper 7 PRO with the PBS would be REALLY nice

Hi every1, I'm getting the Offna Picco .26 outlaw engine for my hyper7. Heres my questin.......... right now I have the hyper21 engine wich is an sg shaft. The Outlaw has the sg/Threaded shaft. What's the difference in the two? and will my flywheel, cluch and clutch nut all fit on this new engine? thanx alot guys
Love, Mike

[segrito863]

Hi, I am looking to get a Hyper 7 Pro with the new .26 Ofna/Picco engine. I have had the Ofna/Picco .21 Comp w/boost bottle and it was a very good engine.

I am getting the .26 cause it should have a lot of power, has a pullstart, DONT WANNA SPEND MONEY ON A STARTER BOX till later on after it has been running for a while.

What all would you guys recommend to get this thing running?

Matt

[segrito863]

Hey, I plan to buy my bext buggy slowly. I am gonna buy the kit, the engine, and the radio all serperatly till I get it all bought.

I was wondering if anyone has used this motor in there Hyper 7 Pro? I dont wanna spend more than I have to and I don't wanna get a starter box. I was thinkin the .26 will have better power than the other ofna engines with pullstarts.

What hopups come in the pro rather than the RTR kit?

Will I need to buy a tuned pipe for the pro kit? What about a header?

I am either gonna get a Airtronics MX3 radio or a Lynx 3d radio. I will also get a RX pack.

What oils and greases should I get?

What parts break the most and is it a durable car?

My choice before this was the 9.5 MBX RTR, but I changed my mind. Which one of these cars would have a better setup?

Let me know what you guys think. I'm not going for anything to pricey right now.



Matt

[p.n.e]

i'll see if i can help..

What hopups come in the pro rather than the RTR kit?
carbon fiber parts, cnc chassis braces, a center torsen diff, cva's, aluminum wing supports and radio tray mounts, some nice hex wrenches too.

Will I need to buy a tuned pipe for the pro kit? What about a header?
you dont need a pipe. mines came with a header too.

I am either gonna get a Airtronics MX3 radio or a Lynx 3d radio. I will also get a RX pack.
good choice, i would get the airtronics and a 1000mah pack

What oils and greases should I get?
lithuim grease for general lubing, some wd 40, different weights of silicon diff. oil (1000, 3000 etc) and torsen grease. bearing oil might be good to buy too.

What parts break the most and is it a durable car?
it is a very durable car, i have had nothing break yet cept a bent shock tower from a bad bad crash. be sure to get loctite tho!! you must loctite every metal to metal screw or you will be looking for parts that fell off during your run!

[kreidel1]

What kind of setups are some of you guys running? Also....has anyone raced with there PBS Hyper yet?

[LouisB]

I run:

Front

Stock shock mounting positions
40wt oil
both holes in pistons drilled with either a #54 or 1.4mm bit
Kyosho blue springs or stock black springs
No droop screws
22* caster blocks
1* toe out
-2* camber
silver anti-roll bar

Rear

Stock shock mounting positions
35wt oil
both holes in pistons drilled with either a #54 or 1.4mm bit
Kyosho blue springs or stock black springs
No droop screws
-2* camber
black anti-roll bar

With the front block carrier on the rear, check back a couple of pages and you'll see what i mean Look for pages from the manual in the posts.

[LouisB]

Have a look about 1/2 way down page 50

[LouisB]

I bought a KO 2173 servo for either my H7 or B3 and decided that the extra run time and speed (compared to my Hitec 5945) would be better suited to my Hyper so in it went I've now got a pair of KOs on it (712 for throttle) and it works great. IMO KO makes the best servos, but the 5945 will be great in my electric buggy

I'm not totally decided on whether I should keep it like that. I've got 2 1100mAh battery packs so a quick swap before the main shouldn't be a problem.

Which one should I use for steering my H7?

[fantom16]

Sorry to change the subject and everything.

I want to build a Hyper 7 from scratch, as in buy each part seperate, and put it together. I want to do this as i cant afford to buy it assembled straight away, and i thought it would be a good project.

So is this going to be difficult? I have knowledge about nitro cars, engines etc and some about buggies. Is it possible to do this.

My hobby shop is very good, and i know them well, so i can get all the parts what i need.

Also does anyone know where i can get an instruction manual of how to put it together, and where?

Cheers for all the help you can give, its all appreciated
--Leigh

[prevelige]

you could probably get the instruction manual from the website www.ofna.com

However, you should expect to pay 2x-3x more for the buggy in parts. That's why people buy whole kits and sell the parts on ebay. They make a nice profit, and still undersell parts directly from ofna.

hope this helps

Bob

[fantom16]

i thought it would cost more, but not that much more. i shall have to do some calculations to see just how much more, and wether it is worth it in the long run.

Cheers anyway
