I got the same body as you guys did, looks like the prototype body of the original nitro Hyper 9 from the early pics of the Hyper 9 nitro.

I'm pretty impressed with the buggy so far, I really like how all the weight is very centrally located on the chassis, not just front to back but side to side also. Nice battery tray and the I like the radio box, I don't think COG will be a big issue since the esc will still sit lower than a nitro engine and tank would.

Did you go through the diffs? do they have the upgraded o-rings?

Yes, I did the front and rear diff's, as far as I can tell the o-rings are good, just like any other diff's I've done. They do use a gasket type seal between the ring gear and diff cup instead of the o-rings like on the 8.5 and ST, plus the diff's are alot smaller than any other 1/8th diff I've seen. So no slipperential for the 9e

Plz post photos
I'd like to see the 9e diff next to a nitro diff

When I get to the center diff I will post pics, front and rear are back in already.

Can't wait

Are the hyper 9e diff gears the same size as the nitro hyper 9
Or is it just the diff cup that is smaller ?

The cups sorta look like the crt.5 cups? Anybody with a 9e manual handy to check the p/n?

Ofna lists the cups as 29003.

I am looking forward to this buggy, I am really happy to see a company leave the nitro heaviness in tact but rethink what could be a better lay out for electric.

Anyone have a pinion size they would suggest for this buggy with a 2200kv MMM set up on 4s? Would like to be up in the mid 40s mph range and keep things cool. Thanks for the input in advance.
