as opposed to $300-engine cost for a Hyper 7. Not as nice of a buggy, but nice enough to get the job done... I can run a $45 motor mount. And the hyper parts are interchangeable right? meaning if i have a hyper 7, and i break something and want to upgrade to the same part but on the hyper 9 (or something similar) that would work?
I am liking the sound of that!!
And to the used thing. I am done buying used. i got my savage used and had to spend a butt load of money on it. Now I have to buy a new glow starter for it because the one included went bad...

I have had 2 hyper7s and a hyper8. The 8 is a bit lighter, but the 7 is a great buggy. Solid diffs, simple drivetrain design, very solid arms and bulks, and tons of parts cheap. You cannot go wrong with a new rtr 7 for 300 bucks. Like you said you can sell of the nitro stuff and rtr radio gear and get at least 150 bucks back. Nothing in that price range is as good as the hyper7. Plus you can get it new, as Brian said, a used purchase can have all kinds of problems... If you want to get spares for the hyper I go to nitro master on ebay...
