Default differences between hyper 7 and 8?

What are the key differences between the two buggies? Good or bad.

Quite a lot. The 8 is a completely different buggy. Diffs, knuckles, wing and brakes are probably the same but the geometry is completely different, as are the front and rear ends.
Both are good buggies for what they do. The 7 is an excellent entry level club racer or basher, whilst the 8 (or more recently 8.5) is a little more aimed at the racer. Both have good durability with the 7 being almost bombproof after a few minor upgrades.
Any specific questions please ask

So would you say the 8 is a better car? I have the chance to get a new h8 for just about the same exact price as a h7. Is it commen sense that I should get the h8?

common sense would say wait about 5 minutes for the Hyper 9 which is already being raced by team drivers & should be out for everyone very soon
