Hyper 9E

[Marvin]

Huh? How did you find them? I've now ordered 3 sets of them from NitroHouse. $50 including shipping! Oh man, I wish I'd seen those earlier...

Thanks anyway SnoopMaxx

[SnoopMaxx]

I just typed the part no. + Ofna + Hobao in Google

[Marvin]

D'oh! I only typed the part number and Hobao into Google, and I'm fairly sure that didn't come up! Oh well.

[SnoopMaxx]

You have to know where to look Marvin

[Marvin]

Yeah, I know...

what do you feel is the largest pinion you can use on the buggy?

I am thinking of trying an idea I have. using SMCs new 9000mah battery, in a 3S configuration, with a 2650 motor. there 9000mah is rated at 28C, so that would be 252Amps continous. I don't see why I would have any issues with that high of a C rating compared to what guys were experiencing with 3S and lower C ratings. potental energy in the pack is greater than a 5S 5000mah setup.

17 or 18 would probably be the highest i would go in a buggy on 3s..

I gear for 40mph max, so should be no worries there.

I dont think gearing is going to be an issue. I have a 17t on mine now with a 1300kv and have a lot of room left on the mount.

thats good to know, my Hyper 9E is in town, just need to go pick it up.

[Cain]

Its here guys. Here are some pics I took, and the first one is the actual box it came in, talk about being worried! :sweat:









I was kind of suprised to see the wheels and foam in there the way they were, as if it was an after thought. so maybe they are just pulling out the other tires and wheels and throwing these in. Not that I am complaining.

The tires feel like M2 crimefighters, already got a set but may just hold onto these for future usage.

The shocks are HUGE. no baby ones here. Wider than my RC8T shocks for sure.

the buggy can with an aluminum futaba servo horn as the only option, I think my RC8T may have to do a donation here of its servo LOL.

For a strange reason, I got no manual, no addedum, zip, nada. I'll give ofna an email about that one. I did get a very nice catalog for all there stuff.

I really do like the bumpers on the buggy. Especially the rear. This should do a good job of protenting things.

Ofna could have done alittel bit of the trim they did on the ESC mount on the shock towers, would have given it a nicer look. Feels beefy thoug.

The center drive shaft is really thick. no messing around here.

There appears to be punisher turnbuckles on the front and rear camber links. The steering linkages though appear to be something different, similar to what I see on Academy's 1/10 scale kits, albeit, much thicker.

so far, very happy with what I got here. Though, I do wish they went with a better fitting body or drilled holes for some mud guards.

Here are some pictures with the new jconcepts body and wing. Everything ready to run with 6s pack is 7lb 14.5oz.

Doesnt look like that body fits very well?

Looks to short in the front?

Very cool buggy though! I want one, but I think they could of done a better job on the bodies

[Cain]

the body is definitely not a strong suit here. I actually think I could fit my AE body up on the chassis without much modification, just trim the front and bit and punch a new hole and it should work.

Yeah, I mean they made such a bad ass buggy. And then made the body soooooooo boring!

Im sure any buggy body will fit, but with no mud guards dirt will be right in there
