Want to do Hyper 7 BL, need some measurements please

[mtucker]

actually, I was thinking of running almost the exact same setup, a 9L, MM ESC and a 3S (for now). Did you run into any heat issues?

I wonder how well she will run on 3S. I understand "running what you brung" since a high performance 4S Li-Po pack is expensive. You may be a little disappointed with the 3S, but it may get you by to start with.

I started with a Feigao 9L (540C finned version) in my Hyper 7 and it did well except for the glued on end-bell breaking loose on me. If you do go with the 9L (smooth version) be sure to pick up the Feigao 540 motor brace/heatsink that Monster Mike sells.

With 4S, I ran 10/46 and was just under 40MPH. Definitely pick up the Kyosho 46T plastic spur gears for the Hyper 7. They are gentle on the pinion gears, but plenty sturdy. I have run several races that have big jumps and the Kyosho spur gear holds up no problem.

I will try to measure the clearance tonight for you. Battery weight won't really matter on ride height as you normally change springs/pre-load inserts to keep the A-arms parallel to the ground.
