  • nah i still pref electric its easier tougher and easy on the wallet , engines dont burn out i remeber after every race my dad had to get a new engine cuz they burn out -.-

  • @nukeshockhybrid That's everyone's own choise. My NovaRossi hasn't failed on me for the last 2,5 years without a rebuild. The gas engines adds an extra dimension to rc racing, i love the challenge of tuning it to perfection. Main thing is to have fun, gas powered or electric!

  • @2stroke4Me Agreed, I Run Both & Sad To Say My Electric Has Cost Me More Then My Nitro. Nitro Is Tuned Great Get About 12Min Tanks (Running Restrictors) Got Tons Of Bottom End. Tad Slow Top End By Like 3mph. But I Get 5 Mins Longer On A Tank. Rebuild Is $60 And I've Blown Way More Electric Motors Then Nitro, Right Knowledge Is Key.

    My E-Buggy Is Running Tekin RX8 2200kv 4s Setup. It Doesn't Lack Power Anywhere And Comes Off At 140* After 10 Mins. My Nitro Comes Off 210* (+/- 10*)

  • @eskimoGangsta Interesting, i have about the same running times, also with restrictor. Since this engine still hasn't failed me, never did a rebuild, it will be replaced with the same type when it's worn out. Have the feeling you keep good track of your engine's performance. Usually the lack of speed is compensated with a lean setting, without keeping an eye on the temps. On a race track, bottom and mid range power are more important, since there's usually only one straight. Thanks for sharing!

  • @2stroke4Me Yup, Lean Is speed, My Motor Is Fairly Lean. It's An O.S. VZB V-spec Speed .21 (Look The Motor Up, You'll Laugh) And Bottom And Mid Range Are Perfect For Me At The Track (Which Is Where I Basically Only Run It) And The Top End Is So Minimal It Doesn't Bother Me. I Know If I Let More Air Into The Motor I Could Get That Extra Little Speed.

  • @eskimoGangsta That's indeed a great engine, loads of usable power. No, i won't laugh. This buggy has got a NovaRossi pullstarter engine (.21) and it's modified for low and mid range power (made a video about it). Usable power also means better cornering and controlable jumps. There's a video on my channel where i have a fight with an O.S. powered Mugen..... with bad tires.

  • Hi everyone. Need advice, is that buggy a good value for money or u recon something different. Also if u own one of those hyper 9 what is the biggest issue or problem with them. Heard that thy have leaks from differential. Is that true? All good 4 ya. Cheers.

  • @monnyg1 Yes, it's sold as a kit, had to pay around 600€ when it first came out. You'll need an engine, servo's, receiver, battery, transmitter, wheels and tires (the ones in the kit are close to useless). Exhaust and clutch are included, but i reccomend better ones, depending on what engine is fitted. Total cost is at least 1000€ (with a tight budget).

    It's successor is the HyperStar, so the Hyper9 is "outdated".
