The new
1/8 RC Buggy Hobao HyperStar successfully tested and run throughout the winter months by
team drivers, comes race ready for UK style grass and astro turf venues.
Subtle changes to the general specification make the UK Edition more
suited to UK tracks and venues over the worldwide version.
The all-new front pivot ball suspension is far more forgiving through
bumps and during cornering, allowing drivers to push harder and faster
than before without mistakes. Caster adjustment can be made quick and
simply with space adjustment, while roll bars have been updated front
and rear. Suspension mounts feature improved toe-in adjustment inserts
and plates for better reliability.
The new HyperStar main chassis features milled out sections for weight
saving, with nylon chassis braces being chosen over aluminium for a more
forgiving set-up. The radio plate now features additional servo
protection with moulded pieces to avoid servo case damage and comes
standard with the latest radio box featuring easy access to receiver,
battery and personal transponder. PSM upright engine mount is included
as standard, along with the electric Hyper 9 bodyshell, which can be
trimmed and painted to suit individual tastes. The one-piece rear wing
is swapped for the standard style wing mount assembly and HoBao's cool
high downforce wing.
Transmission uses the tried and trusted standard Hyper 9 differentials
front through to back rather than mixing with the heavier spider diffs.
New centre line universal driveshafts connect power front to back. The
centre diff assembly now features a splash protection cover for the
front disc brake and pads are now ceramic for longer life, while the
rear disc is also better protected with a new cover that also clamps
over the rear chassis brace for better strength.
20mm big bore shocks front and rear feature one-piece aluminium caps
over stock plastic versions and feature improved mounting for better
reliability and maintenance.
The HyperStar could have been released earlier, but both HoBao and CML
felt that it was important to get the details right and release a car
that improves upon the Hyper legacy. With the HyperStar we feel that you
will not be disappointed. Look out for the HoBao team led, by Jon
Howels in 2011. The guys are currently concentrating on high profile
regional events and are traveling in the livered HoBao team van, so feel
free to stop by and ask some questions if you are considering becoming a
'STAR'!
