[img]file:///D:/Pics/rc%20pics/IMG_0921.JPG[/img]I believe that is a hyper 7 NOT a hyper 8. Hyper 8's have the lay-down steering servo setup and a few other differences. Here's a picture from my old hype[img]file:///D:/Pics/rc%20pics/IMG_0921.JPG[/img]r 8.5:[img]file:///D:/Pics/rc%20pics/IMG_0921.JPG[/img]
