New ride for winter racing... Hyper 9e

[Bondonutz]

Looks nice, I have one also and love it.

Worthy upgrades; Aluminum front brace and aluminum shock caps.
The front lower arms have ben revised and are very durable, available @ "NitroHouse"
Nitrohouse also has tips and set up info on their web page.

You'd have a much wider gear selection and get some clearance if you stayed with a 1512 sized NEU but go with a lower KV like 1700-2000. I'm currently running 1700kv with 4s and it's still a bullet.

There are several threads on the 9E here and all worthy of reading

Have fun and enjoy !
