When you hit over 72mph im taking with that hole in the windsheild , did it seem like it wanted to lift ?

Also have you seen any other hyper 1/7 bodies anywhere else ?
all I know of is the Lambo and Ferrari that ofna makes .
The windshield hole wasn't always that big, I mostly did it because I was having issues with overheating in the body. The Novarossi was a big enging and wanted more air flow. The cuts on the windshield started to crack and I ended up opening it up alot to keep the engine cool.

I would call www.Nitrohouse.com directly. They are the only ones I know of who could get them. OFNA doesn't list the Hyper 1/7 anymore on their site.

But Hobao still does: http://www.hobao.com.tw/en/products_...fya1.php?id=90

Far as I can tell, the car is still in production and supported, its just OFNA has chosen to no longer advertise it. Which is probably because they wanted $750 for them and they flopped here. I picked up mine for $300 on RCDeal.com in an auction.
