Hyper 7- Hex Driver Type Question?

[Steve Rowbottom]

Hi,

Looking to purchase a Hyper 7 in the next week or so, just building up some
tools in preparation...

I dont seem to be able to find out whether I need metric or imperial hex
drivers to tighten/remove all the nuts on the car, can anyone shed any light
on this for me?

Thanks,

Steve.

Hyper's are all metric. Good choice on the buggy. Love mine..............is
VERY durable!

I just weakened today and bought the Hyper 7 pbs, guy in the shop is going
to run it in for me - so I collect it on Saturday for some gentle initial
running...then some fun!

OK, OK!

He is going to put a couple of tanks through for me, so it will be easier to
start as these engines are apparently very tight to begin with.

May 'run it in' was the wrong way to phrase it...

In my opinion, regardless of whether you trust the model shop to treat your
car with the respect it deserves, you learn so much about nitro engines
while breaking them in that you're much better off doing it yourself.

Otherwise how would you appreciate the subtleties of carb settings?

True, but the thought was that he did not want me to break the car or the
starter box at the outset and put myself off...

Him putting two tanks through at the start will not stop me learning carb
setting etc I would hope!
