Thanks Jaz! Very insightful for me! I know the fact that the H9 is already pretty light in weight, but you know sometimes we tends to "modify" our cars hoping that it'll be better even when its already good! Especially so when (for my case) nothing has broke so far after 2 races! I guess I was looking for trouble without myself knowing it! LOLZ...

Rear toe plate, yeah I've heard of them, any good? No good? I just got news that some manufacturer has just released a series of Carbon Shock Towers and other plates, what do you think of them? Look really cool, but I wonder if they are practical. I landed in B final for my first local race, and getting better and landed in A for my second race, I'll try to do better, and I'm getting more confident with my 9!

just my opinion but for club level i would stick with the alum shock towers....but by all means if u feel you need to drop weight that might be the only way to lightn one of the lightest buggys out there...i would not use ti screws...

my hyper 9 hop up are in my garage waiting on me...so i wish i could give a review but havnt even ran the buggy yet...got awhile before im back in the states

I'm a freelance graphic designer / RC racer on the weekends. I've gotten the honor to design a and print wrap for an Pro Ofna driver: Mr. Jeremy Kortz. You may recognize his paint scheme which inspired my work for him. here it is:

If anyone is interested in a custom designed wrap for the Proline or Jconcepts Hyper 9 body, feel free to PM me

Thanks. Check out Kortz's car on Ofna Live this wednesday at around 1PM pacific. It's a weekly live interactive stream with chat so you can ask him or designer, Tim Bump, questions about the Hyper 9.

also, Josh, your wraps are shipping to Australia this week.
