Never ran shock oil that heavy.

Status: offline 		Has anyone seen the April 2008 RC Car Action yet? There is an ad in there for the Hyper 8 RTR. It shows a paragraph and picture illustrating that all new Hyper 8 RTR's will now include a kit (chassis, multiple other parts) that will allow you to convert the car to 8.5 specs. I've been thinking about getting a Hyper 8 as my first 1/8 buggy. If I could find a RTR and verify it has the conversion kit in it, that might just cinch the deal!

Status: offline 		I do not own an 8.5 RTR but do own both the 8 and 8.5 Pro so I am going to guess what else it would take to make it a Pro version. On the Pro the upper deck and the plate over the center diff is carbon fiber where I believe the RTR is aluminum. If I am not mistaken on the RTR the rear have dog bones where the Pro have CVD both front and rear. All so by looking at the pictures on Hobao web site does not seem the RTR has lightened wheel hex with dust proof nuts like the pro. I am all so wondering what the flywheel and clutch is on the RTR comparison to the Pro. Being the RTR is a pull start wonder what the engine mounts are like. All so all the turnbuckle rods are titanium.

Where did you get the 8.5 RTR as they are not imported to the states if I am not mistaken.
