need help with converting a hyper 7

[lincpimp]

I did a dual pack Hyper7. Used the rcporoducts designs trays, at 125 bucks each I would say they were a waste of money. You can fit a pair of trays, mot the best way to run them though, for ft to rr balance.

I think the novak trays will fit fine and the price is right...

They are pricey and they are way too heavy. I would se the novak trays, or maybe cut down an old emaxx chassis, I did that a few times to fit my hardcase trakpower lipos.

I never thaught about the e-maxx chassis....

the way its looking I'll be going with the novak trays


are there any hints you can give to make my converson less painfull?

what would be the recomended gearing?


also, I'v seen people runing a kyosho plastic spur, whats the advantage of doing that???

The conversion is pretty straight-forward... Just keep an eye on your signal wires, and try to keep them as neat as possible.

I like the plastic spurs as they are much quiter. And if you really stuff it hard, or land very poorly the plastic will give a little, or break, saving the motor... I would rather replace a 4 dollar spur than a motor. Mainly I use the due to the noise...

Recommended gearing is going to be difficult. I would almost suggest going to the 5.5 or 6.5 novak. The 4.5 is a high kv, and it may be difficult to get a small enough pinion to physically fit.

Your motor mount link does not work, what does it look like? How does it position the motor?
