So I was looking around today for some parts for my Hyper one Seven, which is a 1/7th scale GT Class on-road version of the old Hyper 7 PBS.

One of my searches led me to the Hobao site and low and behold they are STILL producing the Hyper 7 TQ. How many years has this buggy been in production? When I got back into true hobby level RC nearly 7 years ago the Hyper 7 was old then.

You dont' hear about it much now, its not really in the RC news, but even with the Hyper 8 and Hyper 9 the 7 still has tons of support from the mfg directly.

For anyone interested in the 1/7th scale Hyper One Seven, it never really took off here in the states, but it did in Taiwan and Europe because of the Rally Game craze.

This is a Hyper One Seven stripped and ready for electric conversion. The front driveshaft is 160mm long, the rear is 99mm.
