From the Hobao site, H-2118. If you call HH and ask for the hyper 21 pro with boost chamber they'll know what you mean. They have it for $395.

Something about increasing the capacity of the bottom end of the engine, aparently in this engine it allows you to run it richer without sacraficing fuel mileage or power.. thats what i've been told anyway.

If it really made a big difference im sure companies like Novarossi, Top and JP would be doing it.

The Hyper 21 pro w/ boost has a claimed 2.7hp, so its no slouch - dont know how much of that is the 'boost' chamber though..

Hows the TT coming along Tim?

yea good.

I put the Spektrum, JR8455 and 8425 in it last night. Finished the shocks so it pretty near to ready to putt around a car park for a few hours. Need to find some old stick packs to put in the starter. Should be ready for the weekend. I'll bring it tomorrow night if you are interested in having a look.

a boost chamber smooths out the bottom end from what i understand (i could be wrong here), it reduces the pulse effect from the exhaust into the fuel tank allowing the engine to perform better without swamping the engine with fuel or air in the wrong ratio. I run a longer compression line to help reduce pulsing on my P5.

Jim Beam, the shop in town does the rex x pro for the same price (just under 700) with radio gear, & the stearing servo is a high torque metal geared one. i'm not sure what MF is doing it for. worth shopping round.

Revo's and Savages seem to get some pretty good reviews, and I think Tim is still selling his LST..
