The Hyper 9 is a completely new design from the ground up with many new and innovative ideas. Several criteria were set and met in this new design. Weight was number one and always a concern with every part designed for the buggy. Next, in order of importance, was side to side balance, low center of gravity, ground clearance, all on as narrow a chassis as possible. On the performance side, the buggy had to accelerate, corner, jump and land better than any other buggy on the market.

 


 

< FEATURES >

 

Front C-Hub and Steering Knuckles

 

The C-hub and steering knuckle has been reduced in size and weight. The kingpin axes are directly in the center of the front tires. This reduces the shock on the steering servo when hitting rocks, holes and pipes. Front bump-steer has been eliminated with longer front tie rods and better alignment.

Adjustable Ackerman

 

The Hyper 9 has three ackerman positions for steering from mild to wild. The throttle/brake bellcrank is angled 25 degrees inline with the carburetor so no binding occurs. The bellcrank also allows the servo to be laid down and moved forward for better weight distribution. The brake linkage is a very simple wire with a z-bend, not a bunch of little parts held together with bolts and nuts. Brake bias is very easily adjusted with a nylon nut on the threaded rod end.

One Piece Rear Wing

 

The rear wing mount is a small block mounted on the rear shock tower and the formula style wing is held on by four screws. The mounting area on the wing is thick to prevent breaking and tearing. This greatly reduces the weight and lowers the CG. A more traditional wing mount will be available as an option part so racers can use different wings.

Shocks

 

Shock absorber testing has resulted in a new threaded version of the already well proven Hobao big bore shocks being used. These have been anodised black with red anodising for the spring tensioners and caps to give the pro look.
