I personally like the look of the body.... I think everyone should just go ahead and get used to the slammed look cause I'd bet that it will be what most 1/8th bodies look like soon.....

Ugly?! IMO its the best looking buggy body yet.

Pro kits arrived at OFNA today. Parts for the car also ready to ship. They should be on hobby shop shelves very soon.

I just finished a screw kit for the Hyper 8 this past weekend.

The car looks real good going through the manual. It has a few options on it that look pretty cool. I'm looking forward to seeing one in person and run on the track.

I received the car this week and all I can say is wow! The Hyper 8 Looks dialed in for sure. The quality and the fit and finish is great. Nice CNC machined steering knuckles, shock towers and suspension mounts...really nice looking stuff. I am going to run it at the Canadian Winter Nationals next week. I will post some more info after that.
Thanks........Dwayne Flodell
