Take the aircleaner off, look into the carb while working your throttle, at neautral throttle your carb should be open around 1mm , if it idles too high adjust a bit smaller with the small carb screw on the side of the carb, then open the throttle all the way via your Tx. The carb slide should be wide open ? If not, check the trim or your linkages. Same with brakes, the carb should return to 1mm gap, & be sure to do all this with the engine not running ok. Hope you've allready got it sorted but if not ??? Hope it helps. To Patrick, sounds like your throttle trim is setup wrong.

I've had 4 Hyper-7's ,picked them up cheap as basket cases mostly, & i've found them to be good machines. I mainly race mugen 1/10th & 1/8th on rd cars & haven't yet raced in 1/8th buggy but i do race a modified TT MTA-4 OS.30 powered, & a modified T-MAXX OS.18 powered in 1/8th & 1/10 MT class, Good Fun. If that fella Vince is still having trouble ?? it sounds like his clutch bell bearings have collapsed. 1/8th clutch bell bearings in particular have a knack of failing regularly & so i check them every time i clean my cars. My Hyper-7 at present runs a JP FX .21B8T & generates some serious power so i am aware of proper maintainance to : Diffs, clutch bell & bell bearings, clutch shoes &springs, & running high torque servo's is pretty much a "must" !! Spend a bit more & get Digitals !! They're well worth the $$$$ for the handling improvement you'll get !!! I hope to get the time to race my hyper-7 soon & as i live in QLD Australia i now have some serious high end competition with all the X-Ray's , Mugens, etc people now race. But i'm gonna get the old girl out & see if i can keep up with them, lol , why not. I don't know where this'll end up as most of the Q & A's are from a year or so ago but am having a go anyway, anyone need any help with anything nitro feel free to contact me. Thanks Jim, good stuff.

It was a bit of a pain to fit and i had to drill out and retap 2 of the engine mount holes and enlarge the slider plate holes but it's in and ripping! thinking of locking center diff so i can do wheelies what do you think? or should i go for very thick grease? Cheers Derek First of this is a very nice little site

A little hard to start at first as is expected with a car that has never been turned over. Once going, its a fantastic buggy. I use it on a large grass feild nearby and have had no problems with the steering servo. I have found the servo response adjustment on the Futaba/Hobao control to eliminate weak steering response. All in all a fast and very tough little buggy, way better than the GV Dominator that the hobby shop offered as its alternative. I just got my hands on the hyper 7 tq 21 black edition.

I got the car when it had been run for about 30 mins, and the spring broke in the first one. The second one burned through one day after I fitted it.
