Recently crowned 2007 EFRA European Champion, the Hyper 8.5 Pro is the latest off road design from HoBao.

This car was driven by R. Battle during the 2007 European Championship. And it wins ... It shows that it could be a winning car when driven by an expert pilot. But you are not a top pilot, and I am not also. However, out of the box, this buggy is the most easy to drive that I owned. It is very solid. After 40 liters of fuel, I did not broke anyhihng. I only changed the plastic triangles once at the beginning of the 2008 season. So here a list of facts : PRO: - very solid... - easy to drive, easy to set up. You do not need to perfectly set-up for having a good car. - parts are really cheap, as the car ! - easy to clean because main components are removable easily. For example, it is easy to change oil in the diff (only 4 screws to remove for accessing to the center diff, 6 to access front/rear diff) CONS: - a bit more heavy than other cars (around 100gr.) - The car get some play in the plastic after few liters. However, it never disturbs nor affects the performance. This is well known on Hobao/Ofna models CONCLUSION: If you have money to buy a competition buggy, save some by buying this one, and use the rest to buy a better engine... :) Enjoy !!!
