Should have it on Monday

My HB LS Pro R is a good truggy but its showing its age and imo to heavy round the twisty tracks.
LHS had the Hyper ST Pro in today (only to view sadly). Felt a lot lighter, looked a lot stronger than the RTR version and had an excellent steering lock.
Didn't like the battery holder but thats not a major issue.

Hopefully have it by Monday

Might have to hsve a sickie Tuesday

I'm sure you've seen these, that truggy is very sharp looking, hope it rides the same.

Does look like a very nice pro truggy, can't wait to see how it performs.

One thing for sure the Hyper ST is doing well in Europe. Yes the pro is going to be super! I was not even interested in a truggy till I started looking at the Hyper ST Pro. I have the Hyper 8 buggy and it is one tough, reliable buggy as I have WELL over 8 gallons through it on the track. Here is some more information on the Pro ST.

Yeah looks good, sorta wish its wheelbade/chassis was a bit longer though. Also think the battery holder is rubbish.

They're just gonna come out with the longer wheel base later, like always. I haven't see it on the track yet but on youtube it looks really good, if that means anything. I like that, for the most part, its a new design through out and that body is SHARP! I got the RCD issue with the pro test today, sweet ride. This one is quickly moving up the "what car to get next" list. I'm very happy with my hyper 7 and its quality so this will also be top notch.

They just came out with the longer chassis on there buggy the Hyper 8 among other things like big bore shock like on the Hyper ST called the Hyper 8.5. The new Hyper 8.5 driven by Robert Batlle won the 2007 European Championship.

Yes he was! I would like to see him come to the US and run on some of our tracks! I really like Hobao products but here in the states they are not well represented. Over seas they are much more supported. I feel Hobao are as good as vehicles that cost quite a bit more. Wish the race budget permitted a Hyper ST Pro but if I had that type of money I would probably get a Hyper 8.5 and keep my Hyper 8 as back up.

I would like his skills and a European track like what he won on.

I love the US style tracks but wish my driving was as good as my partners 10 year old son, much less as good as Roberts. Being 53 and all most blind does not help!

I use 46u because one time I built a 1946 U Harley 74 flat head. Been riding and working on Harley’s none stop since 1971.
