Hello. Brand new on the forum. Came across this topic and thought I would share because I recently purchased the Hyper SS. Have had this buggy for about 1 month now and it has been great. Had it out this weekend and broke the JL .28 motor unfortunately. Not sure what happened. Will be on with OFNA tomorrow to see what they can do. As far as the buggy itself, its tough as hell. Have bashed it pretty hard over the last month and have not broke a thing. Had some pretty damn hard crashes too. Ordered up a LRP Z.28R for it today! Hoping it will be even better with that motor.
