Me just this pass weekend

Steve pak: Hyper 8 was on point this weekend. A lot of people thought
the same thing about it when we talked about it.

The acceleration was unreal. It accelerated like it had a rocket pack
on it. Steve and I talked some about it after his first run and he
likes it better than his 777 sp2. It handles like a dream. It jumps
super good and straight. It was very STABLE. It jumped out of the
turns super well.

He ran 441 this weekend.

Arms upper lay down all the in on the tower.
Rear third hole in from the top.
20 deg front hubs
3 rear toe.

Maybe he will post what he has Monday or tues.




I want to run mine, but I was going to save it for this weekend. I was
thinking I would break something, but Steve drove it like he did not
care. Hahah

I’m sorry did I say how TOUGH THE HYPER 8 IS?


Steve drove it like a JUNK YARD PITBULL THAT GOT A HOLD OF THE POST
MAN LEG AND WOULD NOT LET GO! LOL!



That thing is a tank like the old Hyper 7 was, but with more tuning
aids to home in for any track condition that was put in front of it.

I've seen Steve drive before and nothing against Steve, but wow the
HYPER 8 IN STEVE HANDS WAS UNREAL I TELL YOU.


I was 2nd thinking about getting the HYPER 8, but after this weekend
I’m very please that I did what I did and changed over to the HYPER 8.
Next weekend is going to be the first time I will put it on the track.
I can not wait.

I’m about to wet myself. Hahah

Thanks dibbs for the props..... ithink?
I didn't think I did too bad for taking a long break from 1/8th scale.
I guess 4th in the A main is alright though. The car felt really stable
and calm. I didn't have the feeling that I had to fight the car or
force it to do what i wanted. All I really had to do was point and
shoot. It hit the lines that I wanted it too, and was very smooth.

I am although not going to say like everyone else that this is the best
car in the world. The only way that i know to describe it is,
Tougher than the H7 in that it does not break shock shafts.
Steering is a lot better than the H7
Tunability is worlds beyond the H7
Definitely an outdoor car...
Easier to work on.

But guys.. a couple of pointers. Although I was told that everything
was already done...please go ahead and recheck all the screws and stuff.
Some screws were loose. Some did not have any threadlock in them.
Like the 4 screws that gold on your center diff plate with brakes.
Those were not thread locked Also the screws that hold on the top of
the servo saver to the front plate were not threadlocked. There are a
few more...but just be smart and go through the whole car.
