Plaidfish said:I'd have to say the the PBS front end on either is stronger....the C-hub setup is more responsive but not good for a basher.....
also they use thicker hardware on the 9.5 (at least on the pro version) but it's a heavier rig.....
They are pretty much on the same quality level..one is designed by Hong-Nor (hyper series) and the other by Ho-Bao (MBX/9.5)......OFNA is the distributor here in the states for both so here we see them as the same company w/ different quality levels.....the reality is in th erest of the world they are sold under their proper names.....sort of like comparing the GS storm to the XTM buggy...both are great buggys each has their lil quirks......but basically the same quality level overall.....
Plaidfish said:Is Jammin Hong Nor??
I thought they were like a new american company actually named Jammin???
I need to read the OFNA site more....I get closed minded on stuff I don't use and just look at sites for RCs I currently use.....
Plaidfish said:I heard there was a "Jammin" Office here in america....I jus assumed hey were a new branch in the OFNA family...
Jeep said:I weighed my Hyper 7 PBS on balance scales with a hitech645mg steering servo, and MiMH bat pack, and it was 7.73 lbs, and read where many are about 9 lbs. What is the cause in weight differences?

Yeah, fair enough.Plaidfish said:the hyper 7 is so popular because it's a good bugy for a good price...
still needs upgrades if you race it hard...for most clubs it would be great right out of the box, just not as easily adjustable and the geometry is different.....
I'd take an XB8 anyday...oh wait I did.....when it comes to taking abuse the mugen and Xray just take it and take it and come back for more......I've stuffed mine into fence poles off of huge triples and it just kept going......
Plaidfish said:well I say if you can get the best....there is something to be said about a buggy that ALL the holes are threaded right....makes maintaining it alot easier....the shock towers and shocks on the Hyper 7 aren't the greatest....the chassis braces.....and hardened gear sets....not sure about the bearings on it.....the turnbuckles/outdrives & Axles are all a softer metal than top shelf stuff so you replace them more often.....I've run 4 gallons straight on my xb8 before tearing it down....I found all kinds of things that were loose but nothing broken....all the loos parts were just eccentric washers.....replace em about every gallon or 2......as far as cost for you I'd do flea-bay.......
