Hey guys, been running my hyper 8 for over a month now and want to start upgrading the stock components. What do you guys have done to your hyper 8s? Thanks.

I have done nothing to mine except get the "better" fuel tank and the wing mod. Have you checked out Nitro House?

i think nitrohouse has some... the only thing i would upgrade on that buggy is maybe the motor mount

The wing mod, the rear hub slop removal mod and some setup work........lots of fuel and track time.

Better tyres?

How do we do all this mods??
Pictures would be nice.

Yea the stock tires are toast now...I spin all the way down the straight and slide in the corners. I am definately going to have to get some better tires before next outing.

Just ordered my Hyper eight but all ready have new tries that will be better for my local track. Hope in the kit the tires are not all ready glued to the wheels.

the best upgrades are the bumper bearings and the high temp lay down shock towers.

Nahhh really I think the H8 is neat right out of the box, nothin needed really.

They arent preglued.

I agree it is a pretty good buggy out of the box.

Only upgrade is the truggy convertion kit. For some odd reason, I cant drive a buggy 5 feet to the local piggly wiggly, but a truggy I can run all day long.
On the main hyper 8 thread, it shows the little mods (with pictures) that can be done, like swaping the ball ends and such.
And your for sure are going to need a set or 2 of tires, some shock oil of diffrent weights and diff fluid, also of diffrent weight. Should be good to go.
Almost sold mine for 200 bucks, but the truggy kit should be out before next year race season, anyone heard anything eles on that?

There are quite a few nifty little upgrades coming down the pipe for this buggy. Start saving your pennies now.

There's a taller rear shock tower - out now.

I imagine some center cva's will be coming ...

a New chassis pan

Id put a set of jammin big bore shocks on there

stock up on universal spares, a new center diff spur, there are new lightened outdrive cap joints coming - as well Ive found out that the Jammin lightened outdrive cap joints fit and work

Lightened diff cross pins from ofna are in use by some of the pro guys

Wheels n tires are always something to have plenty of - molded foams and some Losi Step Pin tires are really hooking the car up out here in CALI ... i like my Panther KII's a bunch as well

.... its all the little things as a sum total that make these cars fly ......
