Yes the Hyper 7 pro was a kit. That was my first ever 8 scale buggy kit that I had to build. I built it to PCR specs which at the time was the latest greatest build/setup. Paul Coleman laid the servo's down to lower CG. That buggy was a tank and I bashed the crap out of it for 2 years and broke maybe 2 parts. It was not until I got serious about racing that I switched to a lighter more nimble buggy but I loved my Hyper.
