It was either buy an ok roller and not so good electronics, or convert my hyper 7 and use good ones (mmm)

The 7 is still very competitive in the hands of a good driver. Quality is good.
Better invest in good electronics and motor because that will give you more extra's than another roller.
Good weight-distribution of your setup over the buggy makes the difference in handling/racing, not the total weight of the roller.
