Located in the Graupner stand was the completely new brushless powered Hobao Hyper 9. Not just another BL conversion, this car has been heavily altered to fit the necessary parts into the very narrow chassis of the Hyper 9. Using the suspension from its gas brother, everything between the front and rear of the car has been made new. With the motor mounted to the rear and facing backwards, the ‘centre’ differential is now at the very back of the car, while drive to the front transmission is handled by an extremely long front drive shaft.
HoBao has released this new all purpose pit bag, which contains 3 large padded containers within it’s outer shell.

Sporting wheels as well as a telescopic handle to pull the bag, if you’re looking for a safe and secure way to transport your 1/8th or 1/10th cars then this is the only bag you need.
