Default Hyper 7 Pro-R

I have heard good things about the Pro-r, one thing I can't see from the pics is what the chassis is like, is it lightened?

Thanks
Alden

i am 99%sure that is the kit version of the Ofna. (no engine, electronics etc.) which is equivalent to the Kania Kits.~ has extra goodies like extra springs, tools etc

i am also pretty certain it is C-hub and not PBS. i would think agioni would of had C-hub. it turns much better than PBS.

regarding the chasis, its the "long" chasis. it has the longer chasis brace. am pretty sure it is the lightened one.

this is the top of the line ofna kit.

yes, Aigoin did have c-hub on his, at the link the info on the buggy says "New Design in which the C hub is replaced by steel pillow ball" did you think that means pivot ball? because I want c-hubs :P.

i look at the picture more and i am 99.99% sure its c-hub.

i know someone who bought this... it is the "Pure Competition" kit. No electronics, no engine, does have a pipe and manifold.

it comes with a pit bag and the HoBao tires that look like the crime fighters.

i am not sure on this, but i think it come with spiders gears all round.

is pretty much equivalent to the Kanai in terms of what you get at $200 less.

Yes, in the pics it does have c-hub but im just wondering whether they didnt just use the normal Hyper 7 Pro's pics there and that when the buggy arrives it ends up having pivot ball which would be rather irritating. Yes it says it comes with spider diffs allround.

If you say you know someone who has it then it should be safe, do you know where the person you know got his?

you maywell be right. the guy around here had c-hub, but he also had a pbs conversion kit.

but the LHS said it was an "optional PBS" conversion, so he had to pay more for it.

dunno if he got ripped off, having to pay more for what was already included in the kit
