Status: offline 		I got the rear diff out of mine last night, and I definitely had to take the shock tower off. Two bolts go directly through the tower and into the diff, plus the wing mount goes right through the tower.

I didn't have to take off the upper arms though, so it didn't come completely off.

Status: offline 		Cool Tony, you should be pleased with it.

Mine is just sitting here staring at me. I haven't really done much with it aside from assemble the shocks and inspect everything. Waiting on funds for the mill, and my radio is on it's way. Since it's already about 80% assembled, I pretty much just plan on waiting to have everything before I do much more with it.

Status: offline 		No I didn't. Every single one of the screws I have pulled out, required some serious force to get them to budge. Almost to the point where you start to cringe and think your hex is gonna strip at any moment. Because of that, I'm not worried about it. Plus I don't race.

Status: offline 		I came to the same conclusion with mine, each and every screw that threads into metal which I have taken out has had some red threadock on it. The only ones I found which didn't have as much on as I'd like are the grub screws in the end of the CVD's which retain the pin providing drive to the 17mm hexes.

I've uploaded some pics of my Hyper8 in the gallery for anyone interested,.

Status: offline 		After having owned and experienced many 1/8 I can honestly say the Hyper8 looks like it will take a pounding, everything is really chunky and braced very heavily. The car comes with all the clutch, clutch springs, flywheel, bell and so on. The only things you need are an engine w/means of starting, 2 servos transmitter and receiver.

'burglar, like Ashalak said, it comes with pretty much everything. Kinda hard to see the flywheel, but it's in the bag. I think it will be a great basher. Everything on it looks beefy.

Status: offline 		The only model of the Hyper 8 out right now is the Pro "kit" which means it needs to be assembled. However, the first several hundred models that were shipped from the factory were 80% assembled by the factory. This is normal for the very first shipment of a new model, but it will not be normal for the Pro Kit to come this way in the future. If one was to order a Hyper 8 Pro kit right now, there really would be know way of knowing for positively sure if you're getting an 80% assembled model, or not unless you ask the supplier to check. That also means the supplier would have to break the factory seal on the box.

There is an RTR model of the Hyper 8 due to be released sometime in the near future.
