I wouldnt say its that much like the MrC conversions. Only similarity is the spur gear moved to the back. MrC used slipper instead of center diff, 2 battery packs instead of one, CF chassis instead of aluminum and had a full length front to rear chassis top plate as a stiffener.

The Hyper 9 is by far the most revamped and (in my opinion) optimized layout that has been released yet. Especially from the big name manufacturers which to date have all pretty much just copied the rear dif bulk replacement and battery box that bolts into the nitro chassis holes approch. Glad to see one of the big guys taking a stab at rethinking things a bit. I'm sure this wont be the final word in the electric 1/8 layouts, but it has certainly steped out a bit from the efforts of most of the other big names.
