Agreed.

I have had an HSP Atomic (gone to another home now) which was great for the money. I eventually had to be upgrade it, as like many other 1/10 buggies was not strong enough to stand up to nasty things like gutters. It kasted really well but I tried treating it like a 1/8 buggy and it stood up to it quite well really.

I now run an HSP Sonic onroad which is great. With a ported VX18 motor it goes like the wind but obviously it doesn't conform to race specs. I use it mainly for fun drifting.

If the Bazooka had been around when I bought My Hyper 7 I would have gone that way as it is basically a clone of a Kyosho MP777 and a bloody strong mutha. I have since replaced many parts on my Hyper with HSP items including now waiting on a Ported VX21 as it is a MUCH better motor than the standard Mach21.

There is a forum dedicated to these HSP cars at http://plaighobbies.forumsplace.com/
