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.

The one item I'm questioning is the motor mount which looks very similar to the one Mike has made.
