i know about the hyper 8, i'll be getting that later. i decided on the 7 because i just want something to start off with. it'll be mostly for messing around at the truck, because i already have two others to bash which is my mt 2 and monster gt. well monster gt is also more of a race truck now. if i dont get the 7 next week i'll probably get the 8. oh yeah, i'm talking about the kit.
