The Nerd's Hyper
 

I thought I'd post up some pictures of my hyper 7 electric conversion. So far I've stripped the car down given it a good clean and installed the HV300 and some HB spiral R&P's. I also have a 1512 - 1800kv castle motor with blower fan, but I'm waiting on my RCMonster mount before I can install that. ESC and batteries are still to be decided along with new wheels and tires to replace the well worn out stockers.

RCM mount installed, very nice piece of machining.

Notice anything different?

I redrilled the holes for the transmission and machined a slot, about 10mm further back and 1/2" to the right. It should help the weight balance a bit and also give me more room for the batteries to sit on the chassis.

I like tight tolerances :lol:

I also lathed up some spacers for the back brace.

HV300 eh? Talk about overkill! I have the HV767 in my truggy and even that on 2S has torque and speed to spare. I have been really impressed by that servo.

Are you going to run a 3S RX pack?

I had it left over from my Super crawler, from before I switched too 7980s, but yeah definitely overkill :lol: I dislike RX packs so probably a CC bec pro so I can run it on 12v. Otherwise I've got a few spare standard CC becs I can set to 9v for the time being.

Kieren

very nice mate, how many cells u running? lm only doin 3s speedpassion motor

When I get around to it I will be order 2x2s and 2x3s, so I can bundle them as either 4s,5s or 6s. But most likely I will run 5s.

3s? That's very low for a 1/8th. Low kv, high voltage is much better for temps and amp draw. Now if only they made a 12s capable MMP:lol:

I'm digging the move over, makes for lots of extra room. Puts more stress on the driveling though.

It is hard to say put that buggy looks hands down exactly like my Raze...

Ohs wells!

Cool build, look forward to the battery set up.

edit: Had a thought, will the lid still fit with the motor that far over... I know mine have low clearance on the sides.

I don't think it will add much more stress, the dogbones are well within their rotation angle limits. I was thinking of getting centre CVs if needed, but we'll see. As for the body, it will fit but I have to rotate the motor so the wires are out the side. I hadn't even thought of that before you mentioned it:lol:

Kieren

well atm my top speed is 99km/h

70-80 will be plenty enough for me, this electric conversion was more for ease of use than for speed.

Kieren

lm still not happy with my speed, l want the 3 digit mark, might have to change the spur to a 44t

At that kind of speed your pretty much limited to speed runs, which get old fairly quick, plus there is no way you could bash at 100+km/h:lol:

Kieren

on-road it hit 99km/h, on grass it went 80km/h but my front wheels exploded

you need to put some coned washers under those motor screws or swap them out for a cap head with a flat washer.
