Is my Hyper 7 still competitive?

Hey guys,

Just something to rack your brains a bit. I raced truggy all year with my Thunder Tiger ST-1, by the end of the year I don't like it because it was starting to become very evident why it wasn't a race truggy, however I stand 2nd in the points series so I made due with what I had.

Anyhow, I traded for a buggy, and raced my Hyper 7 TQ sport one day at the track and qualified 3rd right under 2 guys with years and years of experience.

Next year I plan to dump the truggy, and race buggy for the season, I think the buggies are a more race bread vehicle and I had a better time.

Now the question is this, is it worth converting my Hyper 7 to brushless, I do not have alot of money and will only have enough for a MMM (v3) and a few zippy's. There is no money in the budget for a nicer roller this upcoming year because I am going to be going to grad school.

What I am asking is it worth me doing this, or should I take a year off or only race my Slash? Will it bring new headaches or will a brushless hyper 7 be competitive enough to where it comes down to the driver more.

Keep in mind I race on a small track, where electric has a clear advantage, so my thoughts were to convert the buggy with the best I can afford (MMM) and I can always transplant to a new buggy.

Sorry for the long winded post, thanks in advance looking forward to hearing racer's opinions.
