Holy crap ultimatehobbies is cheap. Website is a little difficult to find stuff quickly but wow. Mini Hyper STe $159.95, Hyper 9e $399.95.

yeah, I go through them for kits if I can't find it cheaper through my normal sources. There parts prices usually aren't the best though. I also like the fact they don't charge for shipping on orders over $150 (at one time it was $50). I hate when you buy stuff from some online shops that advertise free shipping for items over "X" amount, but then have exclusions on certain items, even ones that weight wise, should cost about the same as a similar item that has free shipping. (Amains free shipping on the CC MMM versus u pay for shipping for the RX8)

I remember late last year they have RC8Ts dirt cheap, like $70 cheaper than anyone else.

Also, around holidays they drop prices significantly on a few items in the special area.

do you have a link for the 9e manual? I just got a nitro one with my kit.

also I have to agree there site sucks. Really a pain to find anything. also hate how they cant just show you the price next to an item.

never mind I found the pdf on ofna's site. Guess I will check it out now.

basically the first few pages (probably page 6 is the end) are specific to the electric vehicle. The rest is basically nitro stuff.

Sweet, I "won" the auction on rcdeal.com. I was the only bidder, $360.00 plus about $15.00 for shipping.

gixxer, the body you have looks like the body from the old prototype pictures before the 9 was even released, not the proline body.

Anyways I'm pumped about getting it, not sure if I'm going to run 5s or 4s. Have a Medusa 36-70-1600 would be good on 5s, also have an extra NEU 1512/2.5/D/F which I have one in my Xray and love it on 4s.

Now if I could only get more than one person at my local track to convert. :whip:

I expected you to win that one. The one I got I think there was only 3 bidders, you, me and someone else. Doesn't seem to be that many people even registered for the site. I only registered to get the hyper.

I dont really know about the body, its what came in the package. I really butchered it cause I was in a rush to finish everything. I ordered a jconcepts the next day so hopefully that one will come out a little better for me.

Now I just need that damn tekin system.

I looked at that one and it didnt seem to be the same as the one on A-Main so I ordered the one off of A-main. Now it lists it as special order they must have only had one like Ultimate did :surprised: I just hope that it handles well and is fairly durable.

got a link to the body being discussed? I am going to shoot JConcepts a message to see if they are planning to make a hyper 9e specific body.

What spare parts do you guys recommend I pick up? I know the lower front a-arms for sure, what else?

anyone got a pick from the bottom of the chassis with the body on? curious to see the overhang of the body.

cain they are talking about the body in my picture. Its what came with the buggy when I got it straight from ofna. I ordered a jconcepts body though. Now I just have to figure out a simple paint scheme for it that I would screw up.

here is the jconcepts one.

that body looks sweet

I just checked it out somemore. I think you are right. The body is definetly different. The side window is one big window instead of 2 like the proline that is suppose to come with the car.

I wonder what will come with yours since you also got it from ofna.

Ofna does some weird stuff sometimes. A friend of mine just got a mini Hyper STe and it came with a CRT.5 body. I've also heard of people getting one plastic shock tower and one aluminum tower with the Hyper ST Pro. :neutral:
