ive done my research and this looks like the buggy to get . im sorry djray77 but i have a 7.5 and this thing is falling apart. i spend all my time in the pits working on it and it sucks. the hyper stays together but its not as stable. the guys have talked a lot about the XRAY and everyone says it is very dependable and doesnt wear out as quick as the 777. this is coming from people who own both and they put the Kyoshos on the shelf. just go to the teamxray.com forum and see for yourself.
