IFMAR off road worlds

they are ready have their site updated, i would too if i was them thats big news.

i agree if i were to by a new buggy itd be an 808 or the D8 because they are simple, they do what they need too do and are mostly plastic (which is lighter and more flexible, easier driving)

anyone else notice how LIMITED the D8 is for adjustments? there are no ackerman options, very shock mounts, i think only two camber options front and rear i might be mistaken tho but i remember it being extremely simple.

Yeah its funny, Wheeler, or anyone Xray didnt even make the A.

I know there was some hyper 9's there, Im pretty sure none of them made the A. This was a cool race, it was pretty much the first time out for alot of cars, HB's, Losi, Mugen, Kyosho, Hobao, Big bores on the AE cars, Jammin ETC....

Now I need a buggy to convert to BL LOL

the kyosho guys have had the mp9 for about a month the other drivers have had there cars much longer Ty was running his d8 at he nats i think. the mp9 is going to be a great car yes it is a little bit high on the price but once you drive a kyosho you will never go back. I have been racing mine for almost 2 gallons of gas and i have not broke anything yet!!!!!

Been there, done that...

No I havent had a MP9, and never will. No way in hell am I going to spend 900 bucks on a K car, For what its worth, I could have 3 D8's for the price of one K car. Not saying it isnt a kick arse car, just WOW on the price tag...

yes you could have 3 d8's but u would you would use 2 of them for parts.... With the kyosho you can just buy one and unlike most buggys out right now it comes with all of the hop ups..

I would only recommend the mp9 to a serious racer.

My D8 is in transit and should have it next week , i pre ordered it over a month ago
It will be the base for my CORR truck conversion , i couldn't get past the price and knowing HB/HPI have some of the toughest plastics in the buisness so don't let the price put you off , the buggy will be durable

Don't forget a lot of people doing brushless conversion use the HB diff gears in there diffs as they are known for being some of the toughest and at a good price , so saying you will need to buy two D8s for spares is very ignorant fromdaboz707 .

Any way congrats Hara and HB .

alot of people are brand loyal and then for some cost doesnt matter they just want what they want and you cant tell them other wise. i dont care what brand it is as long as it works and works good.

I used to run nothing but Kyosho back in Cali (asian hobby shop,all over cheap) I cant imagin the MP9 is 2 times better than the 8T to deserve its price tag. Id like to buy one and be like " OMG this is the best car ever" but really cant be twice as nice. Just a rip off

Hara had some modifications on his buggy - Taller rear shock tower, longer rear shocks, lightnened chassis and drive train parts. Probably more aswell. But you can buy the buggy for $380

Did you have a look at the Losi , AE , Kyosho or Mugen buggies ? Don't think you have since most are modified and not box stock at the worlds so what is the point of your comment ?

Not many pros run there vehicles box stock .



And Ty for you information who was in the finals ran his D8 buggy totaly stock so there is no need for mods to be done for the club racer to be competitive.

Look i'm not brand loyal and will buy whatever car AE , Losi ,Mugen etc and have owned most and all have there weak and good points and i enjoy them all , but this just shows that manufacturers can produce world championship vehicles for a great price and should force other manufacturers to reduce the prices of future kits . I think HB will be a winner with new racers coming into the hobby .
Lets see a new racer to the hobby walks into a hobby store and sees a racing buggy for $850 ( K car ) and another for $370 which has world champion on the box , which do you think he will buy

I just said that because people have been saying that all of the HB drivers have been running there cars out of the and his was not box stock i was just pointing that out...

Only comment on the non box thing is that everyone is going on that a $380 can beat all these others buggies at the worlds but in actually reality, it is not the $380 kit.

Oh and the Kyosho box will more than likely say 7 time world champ or however many world championships they have won
