Thanks still a few bits to do I want a quad clutch system and I need a center spider diff. I want some alloy front/rear uprights and alloy chassis braces then I will be 100% happy with her.
 
Howdy an update on the Hyper 7

Centre spider diff now fitted
Answer 4 shoe flywheel & clutch
16mm Big bore shocks
Hyper ST Pro Bumpers
Alloy wing support bars
Evil green side guards
New carb

Still to do - Hyper ST Pro shock towers & The ring muffler support in red and then she will be complete and ready for next year. She gonna get a good thrashing as soon as the weather improves.

That looks great! Great job on the resto! I have thought about selling my pcr pro a few times over the years, but after seeing your rebuild, no way I'll be letting go of mine.

Worth keeping a Hyper 7 really easy to get parts for and many other models parts fit with none to very little modifications still imo one of the toughest Buggy’s on the market. All I have to do now is drill a hole in my chassis for the PBS front brace to be secured.

Oh, I know, these buggies are tanks. I have the full c hub, and pbs suspension parts, several center diffs, and spare main diffs, miltiple bodies and wings. I did a complete tear down on mine a while back, and it's been sitting on the ofna blue chrome top starter box since. It has a RB Concepts WS7II engine with only about 3/4 of a gallon of fuel through it, and a pro tune linkage kit. I really have no place to run it unfortunately, I am on 10 acres, but it's all sand, and there is no track anywhere near me, which is why I had thought about selling it.

That’s next on my shopping list a nice race 21 engine got a track close enough to me that’s BRCA so worth a trip for a laugh
 
Ok so had a few nightmares I gave up on the Hyper 30 so many tuning issues for no apparent reason checked and changed almost everything. I did purchase a Picco V1 21 engine but it was sent out via My Hermes and they have lost/stolen it so I had to find another motor I came across a Picco P3-R Evo Turbo SG .21 for £120 brand new never ran with a 4 shoe clutch and flywheel fitted and a glow plug so I bit the bullet and bought it safe to say since my last update there have been a few changes. Ready to take to my local track after a little more gentle break in.
