Hyper 9E

I know someone did ask about it in this thread and I was also looking for it so here it is:

still very happy with mine. only complaint I have is the front arms and ofna is suppose to have a new version coming out.

I'm not complaining about the car, or parts. It's just, I change cars very often, as I like experimenting with something new. The 9E just didn't quite suit my purpose. I can get at most 12 minutes on the track with the batteries I use. I'm looking for 20 minutes, so I have to change packs. No-one does packs large enough - capacity wise - but small enough to fit in the box nicely. I would need ~6600mAh at 18.5 V to acheive this. No-one in England imports such a battery.

My new set-up is two 18.5V 3300mAh packs in parallel, one each side of the centre driveshaft. This works better, as it doesn't off balance the chassis so much.

I know I could have got a 6S pack that would work, but, like many others, I don't want to run my MMM on 6S for reliability reasons.

I haven't had much to report here. I am waiting on getting my part back from ofna so I don't have a stripped screw sitting there. hope to see something end of this week, maybe beginning of next depending on when they get to it.

Then after that, may finally get to give the Silver Arrow ESC a try when I get it back with the switch replaced. I am very curious to see how much smoother sensored operation will be compared to my experiences with the MMM and Neu 1512 2.5D/F setup.

Cleaning this buggy after its first race was brutal. Not having stone guards with the giant body that doesnt fit the car = a mess! My first mod was to fit a guard on the right side. The right takes all the damage <Servo, ESC, transmitter box, and motor> The left side doesnt have anything to get destroyed, the battery box takes the beating. FYI the body is a JC High flow for a RC8 trims out fine.

any more news guys?

[gixxer]

nope, still really like mine but have to send my tekin in for service so 8th scale is out for a week or two.

I found a video on youtube of the hyper 9E in action:

must be the conversion kit

Finally got in a track run with my Hyper 9E. Unfortunately it was short as I had electronic issues. But, the track performance was quite impressive. The vehicle was planted around the track even when less than ideal tires, and changed direction faster than I was used to with my previous RC8 conversion that I felt was pretty good already. It jumped very true and level, and responded quite well to the power I had going through it. Also, I had no weird pitching issues even with the heavier PQ6000XP 4S battery pack.

All in all, I would highly recommend the vehicle. with a few simple mods, its one heck of a car.

good to hear you finally got to run it. I have a heavy pack (6s 4300mah) in mine and it doesn't seem to effect the balance while running. Probablly because all the weight is so close to the center of the car.

hope to have my tekin back this week so I can run it somemore.

[Cain]

Yeah, this car really has something going for it. Very impressive.

I may up the oil weight slightly as I used to the stock stuff which I believe is equivalent to about losi 25W or so. May try losi 30W around for alittle less chassis slap, but, the handling around the track was impressive.

It does however get dirty inside pretty quick. Mainly in the rear from what I could tell if you run a muddy track.

[gixxer]

Mine currently has 35w losi in the front and 30w in the rear.

The buggy seems to like a thinner oil, currently using losi 32.5 front and 30 rear and it's really good.
