They are bullet-proof buggies. Had 4 of them in the last 20 years. My latest one is the updated version. Replaced the steering servo (too slow), shocks (big bores) and installed an OS .21 and its still very completive at club racing. Heavy, but it handles well and never breaks.

Found one of these on eBay for a great price, comes today. I'm so pumped, it even has the optional two speed. Never had a two speed in a buggy, should be a fun ride. Thanks for the video, its helping calm my excitement.

Got two Hyper 8.5 Rollers for 70€ on Ebay last week.
Both are still in good shape!👍🙂

FYI...alot of the chassis suspension parts arms upper lower links diff and gears are interchangeable with the extinct Duratrax 835e I've been using them.

I had a Hyper 7 Pro race kit back in the day and the diffs were sealed. Not sure why they wouldn't be on that one.

I've had numerous hyper 7s nitro and converted to brushless. I also had the hyper 9 now that was excellent but wasn't taken up in a big way. Parts support was the hyper9 down fall. If I wanted another nitro then hyper 7 with the 3 port .21 would me my choice as unfortunately the Mach .28 was a pain to tune. There was a group of us all with hyper 7s of differing ages but could all swap or provide parts for each other. Performance for price and durability has to be the best in the industry. Handling with some tuning basics was amazing. Diff oils set up was front 5k centre 7k rear 3k for nitro. I've been in the hobby 30 years had just about every brand for rtr stuff. Hyper 7 is still carries great memories.

I love Hobao’s stuff, I have a VS Pro with Hyper 8’s suspension swapped onto it. Despite being a basher type buggy it still does well on the track.

That has what happened to my Sportwerks Mayhem. I bought it in 2003 or 04' I raced it for a while. I packed her away for 20 ish years. I have just pulled them back out. I do have some spare parts but as you said. It is hard to find parts for, so no bashing lol. I will be buying a new one. I like the Hyper 7 Buggies.

Still have one. Converted it to brushless

[nickpelland]

I put diff fluid in the diffs that have orings to seal them. I hope they hold fluid haven't run it yet waiting on some engine parts to find out. They are really cheap right now rtr and it's a limited sale with a limited number of stock for sale. I could have gone used losi cause there is a ton out there on market place but can't trust horizon hobbies to actually have parts with how things have been going.

Hobao delivers much for the money. How would you say it differs from Kyosho inferno neo 3.0?

[RcPlayer-ttvw]

Easy there 😂 but that’s fair statement hobao always made kit like RTRs, I think they were kits back than . Losi 8 has been around forever too

[manuelhenriques]

best one is 8.5 pro!! the most track capable and refined one!!

[rcaddictgarage]

Just converted my spare hyper 7 from nitro to electric.

Little water would have probably would've helped out .

Yeah, if you want to enjoy your nitro, you must go with a better part of the market. Cos my love for nitro ended with Himoto Syclone.
