This was one of my most enjoyable RC experiences this year! Getting this road worthy again was so much fun! Parts are still available as well as upgrades and even though this may be classed as a vintage buggy now it still performs like a lot of its modern rivals! Want to see more old school nitros on the channel? Epic fun! 👍😎

Hi Rick Look forward to seeing these old beauty's coming back to life. As I do like to do the same and buy second hand cars and try and get them back to their prime again. Peter

Nice to see an older OFNA roar back to life! My hyper 8.5 been converted to BL. I love the nitro too but I'm glad to have done the conversion so I can run it in front of my house where I do 80% of my RC play. Well done, it brought back memories of my nitro days, I spent the time racing my hyper 8 but I had one of those old HSP 1/10 that were for nitro speed rips! lol. Cheers and keep up the good work!

The best times for me

Awesome grab. I love nitro's I still have 2. There about 29 years old. I've kept them running and still drive them. Nothing like nitro.

Just restored a Hong Nor HODR 1/8 scale buggy with a RB Concepts S7(Before the WS7-II) Give that one a try and good luck on parts. The differentials are a trip, and are not sealed. You don't use a medium silicone diff lube, it will just pour out, you use lock lube in a 500,000wt range. Reload the diffs after 1/2 gallon burned. It took 3 years to finish. Most of that was waiting on Ebay and the like to wait for parts available. Right at $550 to complete. A nostalgia buggy from a racer friend long since past who won with it all the time. Was VERY cool to see it spit rocks again. The customer was very happy. I still have my Paul Coleman Racing Ofna Hyper 7, with 8 spider center diff, from about 2004-05.

My uncle used to race nitro buggies when i was growing up. They are so much more gripping then electric, but I was privy to hours of wrenching and cursing at small parts to ever tip my hat in that ring .

I just scored myself a mint Thunder Tiger Ts4n pro v2 for only £50.! The owner said he ran it twice & then it "broke" 😉 so he put it in the garage & forgot about it for 15 years.! I gave it a quick strip down & oiled the oily bits, fitted modern electronics, cleaned the fuel system & carb, fitted a new #8 glow plug & it fired up immediately.!! The only thing I needed to actually buy was fuel & a new charger for my glow starter because I couldn't find mine, I already had everything else lying around.!!. I cannot tell you how exited I was to drive a nitro again after years & years of running only electric RCs.! It was GLORIOUS.!! Not very fast.. But absolutely glorious.! The sound, the smoke, the process... Amazing.! I can't believe that I actually decided that I was finished with nitro... I'M NOT FINISHED AT ALL.!!! I'M HOOKED ON NITRO AGAIN.!!! Dimitri has a new gang member.!!! As always.. Stay safe out there mate & best wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚗 🚖 🚕 🚔 🚚 🚙 🚘 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚎 🚤 🚁 🛩️

God that thing was screaming!! Obv with 1/5 scale rcs you’re best running a proper fail safe that kills spark as servos do fail. I had a Killer RC on my 1/5 scale and one on my Losi 1/8 nitro buggy too and that fail safe would cut fuel.

Hi I’ve just dug out a hyper 7 after 12 years of storage. I’ve lost the controller so that need me changing. I managed to get the motor moving again it was stuck. Mine has a .28 motor I need a new filter and a few other parts. Do you have a way of contacting you for any questions? I’m trying to get this going over next couple months . What glow plus would it need and what type of fuel would I need to use 25% nitro? Do you know what new more modern shocks would work? Or for? I’m impressed in the build of these things! Do you know when they first came out and if the parts from new ones fit the old one?
