 |
|
| I have a hyper7 and the original engine lost compression so I put in a axial .28 spec 2s and I'm not happy with the new motor so I was wondering it is worth rebuilding the stock hyper .21 8 port motor? |

| typically more higher end motors are rebuilt...the problem is most piston, rod and sleeve kits cost about 3/4 of the cost of just buying a new motor..if you need bearings also it usually costs more to rebuild it than buy a new one..considering the low cost of the hyper 8 i would just get another one in my opinion as opposed to a complete rebuild..i mentioned a rod also for the main reason the highest stress on a rod comes from the break in period..due to the tight pinch it puts alot of stress on the rod and they do tend to stretch a little and weaken..most dont figure changing the rod and thats caused damage to many motors making them not rebuildable anymore breaks..in my opinion i would just buy a new hyper .21...if youre doing the club races or just bashing around the hyper 4 port is a much better choice i think and it does give you more run time. im going to do a build up on a 3 port version hyper .21 that came in the earlier TQ7 RTR kits...My friend took his out to run a different motor and i got hold of it to do the project write up...price everything out and compare to a new motor..you may end up just buying a new motor...also if you do it will give you alot of spare parts should you need them for the same motor. usually the block,crank,head,carburetor etc.. |

| Thanks for replying. That's what I was told and I was talked into getting a axial .28 which I later found out its usually for rock crowlers! I hate not knowing. I guess I will just use the old .21 as practice and experience |
