| Dunno I have to find someone to but all my t-maxx stuff first and then maybe got a phone to sell, Steve at access has a hyper 7 for sale. That just needs transmitter and reciever and I think it's about £140 with a picco engine |

| If your tight on budget will don't rush to buy a nitro yet as won't be racing outside for a while yet as still too dark and the 1/8th track is in bits , wait a while and build up some money then buy the car you want rather than the car that is all you can get for now., if the hyper 7 Steve has is a good Jewish car then it should be fine but always be careful with second hand engines especially when you can't find out any history. We have all done it before bought a cheap engine which turns out a dog you'd be better buying a roller or one with electrical parts then get either a new engine and run it in properly or get one from someone you know won't rip you off/can help you tune it up |

| You would still need to break in the new engine couldn't just have it in your box. Otherwise it would be no good as a spare because you do need to make sure they are run in properly can't just stick it in from new and race it not saying all used engines are crap but you need to be careful. You down tonight? Might have a deal for ya. |

NOOooo! the Tiger's NOT for sale - it's been honourably retired following the Endurance Masters event...
There is actually a very tidy chassis and a pair of engines going cheap in-store other than my old war-horse. |
