Hyper 9 is Shipping today
 The OFNA 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. With the special release of the OFNA Hyper 9 Pro, the kit includes Proline and Lunsford racing parts. OFNA P/N #14350; Retail 899.95; Est.Street $575.95.

Hyper 8.5 win in U.K.
 Hyper 8.5 Hobao factory driver Graham Alsop took TQ and the win at the prestigious Apex GP at Slough.
Graham had a hard battle for pole position with RC8 driver Elliott Boots, but it was the Hyper 8.5 who came out on top to take the qualifying honors.
By taking TQ Graham avoided the lottery of a semi final and this was what accounted for Elliott and meant the young man from Kent was unable to take his place in the main final. Elliott was unlucky as a receiver lead pulled out and ended his challenge.
The main final saw Graham drive fast and controlled, using his power package to stretch out the fuel stops to 10 minutes which gives a big advantage at Slough due to the very slow pit lane. Graham went on to win unchallenged from David Crompton and Jon Hazelwood.

 Well done to Picco World driver Daniele Ielasi on winning the IFMAR 2008 World Championship using the Picco/JL .12 Tuned, the same engine you can buy (yes, Alberto Picco has confirmed this). This win shows the U.S. market that a street of $200.00 can beat them all for less!
Alberto reports, "The Picco/JL ran great all day.. with its super fuel mileage and stable tune, the engine was untouchable if Daniele can get a clean race.. Well he did!"
Why are you paying more for others?
