Hyper 7 conversion (pics)

Ok I had a heck of a time finding info and pictures to do a good conversion so I dove in and did what I wanted. It turned out pretty good.
I am going to the track today and see how it is for durability.

Specs.
9920 controller
8xl wanderer motor
XL heat sink
4s li ion 6000 mah (need to get pics of the battery)
emaxx plate for motor motor mount

If you have any questions or comment feel free to let it fly.

Looks pretty good! Just one question - what center diff is that?

[Sylvester]

Very nice buggy! Makes me wanna convert one...

very nice work.

Thanks guys.

The center diff is the stock one. I replaced the metal spur gear with a kyosho # IF148 spur gear (plastic). I got that info here off the forum THANKS for that tip.

I went with a 13t pinion seems to work great.
I ran it for awhile today and I was AMAZED at how fast it was and how well it handled.
I did end up breaking the rear A ARM hoder. The plastic part that attaches to the differential let go and the a arm pin came out. (5 min 6 dollar fix).

anyone need an emaxx :) no going to need it now :)..

How hot did the motor get?

Motor gets very warm. I dont have a temp gun but I could hold my finger on it but it was borderline hot.
The heat sink was barely warm.

Nice conversion!!!

where did you get the spur gear because I am also trying to find a plastic gear and can not find one that has about 52 teeth.

Thanks man,

[Romster]

Big Daddy,
Kyosho makes a plastic 53 tooth spur Gear part # is BS11 but it is from the old version inferno's either the Burns, USA 1 or the turbo inferno.. Not sure they make it anymore.. Some hobby shops may still stock them..
Hope this helps....

Thanks Romster I will have to look around to see if I can find one.

Could you fit 6 or 7 cell packs under those straps?

You could fit 12 cells per side pretty easy.
I am running 8 Li ion cells per side at 6000 mah.
4 li ion cells I have are almost the exact size as a 6 cell pack they just are little smaller around in dia..
sub C cells are ROUGHLY 1" in dia and the li ion cells I have are ROUGHLY 5/8".

I dont know why people still run sub c's when you can get li ion for about the same cost (unless you aleady have them).

Big Daddy;
The spur gear came from my LHS. I am not sure where to get one online. If you go that route I have a few tips...
Get some shims for your center diff and make sure you have a good fit before you put it all back together. The plastic spur is real close to the metal one but I had clearance issues inside my center diff and had to remove the shims that were already installed. Also pick up 4 of the pan head type screws for the diff spur you will need them. The screws that mount the spur on need to be FLUSH on the spur or you will have clearance issues when you mount you motor plate.
Hope that helps
