How did this turn into a thread about OCM quality?
So you want a hyper. Good for you. I hope it fits your needs. The hyper9 looks to be a sweet ride as well. Everybody does what they need to do. I personally dont like running what everyone else runs.
If you have comments or concerns regarding OCM, please post them in the appropriate thread so owners and team drivers have a chance to comment as well.
Good luck with the Hyper. It is a good ride.

Here locally, the Hypers are starting to outnumber everything else at the track. This is the same with the ST truggy now too. At Rev. on most any club race night, you will see more Hypers, and they are all very happy with them, which is making more racers want to run them...
Hope you have the same luck with yours, as everyone around here is having.
I have done extensive R&D on the Hyper buggies and truggies, so feel free to ask any questions that might come up...

is there any iisues on these things? like I know some truggies have problems with the diff shimming and such, any known major issues about the buggy?
also when I first got into this hobby I used to know alot of people with ofnas and they broke by just looking at them.
I know is this a Pro kit so it will be stronger, but still how's the durability on these things?

Ofna carries everything from full Pro buggies, and truggies all the way to the beginner RTR's. The lesser expensive RTR starter buggies have been known to have some issues, and IMO it's not fair to base an opinion of Ofna on the entry level products...
When looking at the Hyper Pro (ST or 8.5) Series, they are for racing, and they are built stronger for that reason. If you break a Hyper 8.5 or Hyper ST, 9 times out of 10 you deserved for it to be broken...That's how strong, and reliable they are...

Not directed at you man. I was strating anything. Just think its fair if someone has concerns that they be asked somewhere where people with knowledge can give an accdurate answer. I looked hard at the Hyper series also. Hope it kicks butt for ya.

ocm has good customer service i never doubted that.. i drove for them for a while.. the thing that i never liked was there durability.. it seemed every time i raced it was something else. there are alot of good cars out there these days. i just wish ocm would use better plastics, i believe that would solve most if not all of there durability issues. again this is just my take on this car.
The only plastic troubles we've ever had was with 1st gen bulkheads and uprights in below freezing weather.....bulkheads have long been fixed and uprights are being fixed now.
Anyway, we appreciate you and all the misleading things you have said about our car.

Well i have my eyes set soley on the Ofna Hyper buggy, (I will get a buggy first and sell my revo, and then depending on how it goes I will pick up a truggy).
All I have to wait for now is to see how the hyper 9 will be priced and how its reviewed over the 8.5 pro.
I am most likely going to buy a 8.5 pro, I just want to see what the hyper 9 will have to offer since its hopefully right around the corner.
well anways, from anyone who already has the buggy, got any tips suggestions, warnings, etc?
