Sometimes if not always, we are late to cover this new prototype Hobao Hyper 9 Buggy from Ofna. They are many sources available but as always again, we go check our rc partners. If not enough, we go to the magazine we subscribe. Yes, it is none other than RC Car Action Mag. So Hobao Hyper 9 Buggy information are mostly from them if not all. Thanks to George Gonzalez of RCCA.
Of course on the other person to thank is Tim Bump, the head at the Hyper Racing division at OFNA. Together with the Hobao engineers, they are thinking of the first buggy that really come out entirely from OFNA own design. They are thinking big. They are thinking the buggy meant for the IFMAR 1/8-Scale Off-Road World Championships.
The design very interesting if we have to say here. It is innovative, unique and totally radical. The buggy is like being held tightly in the corsets or something similar. Even with everything installed, it still look narrow. That’s buggy on diet. Hahaha.
Check the new design of the brake and throttle carb linkage. It uses bellcrank that angled 25 degrees same like the engine slide carb. Yes, the engine is mounted on an angle of 25 degrees leaning inward to the centerline. how cool is that. No wonder it looks kind of abnormal from the other buggy. Well as long as it works, we happy to drive 
Check again the single link going backward other than for the front brake as normal buggy in front of the center diff.
Here the linkage goes - up to the rear diff area. Pretty neat eh? 
The leaning tower engine. Nice, eh? We think so. They claimed due to the engine is the heaviest hardware on the chassis, installing it in this way, right in the center is actually helping in the chassis left to right weight balancing ratio. OFNA claims that the ratio is identical when the fuel tank is half full. Wow 
More stories including the lower tank, clip, one piece wing mount and pictures at RCCA radiocontrolzone forum. We will keep you all updated when there’s anything new.

We have featured Tabushi who is our friend at rctech, back at March at the 2007 South American RC Nitro Buggy Championship and now here at his recent outing again at the Fourth stage of the Bogota - Columbia Regional Championship.
Tabushi and his team of Pits Hobby Shop I have to say made an impact on this race outing. They conquered the podium and leave everyone else at the bottom. Just for info, Tabushi is Patricio “Pato” Concha and together with his other team mate Mario Utria were driving with Jammin new engine the Jammin JPX.21 and Maxy’s Fuel and M2C Racing 4 shoes clutches. While their Team Boss, owner of Pits Hobby Shop, Rodrigo Echeverri was using Ofna Hyper 8.5 for the first time. Well done and congratulation to all of you.

Werks Racing really on its aggressive move and you just could not blame them. Just look at their achievements so far. To ensure their products, especially the Werks Race Blend Fuel dominance all around the world, they has signed up a new driver from Finland, a name you probably heard many times in the final of buggy class in the Europe. He is none other than Joseph Quagraine. He is going to power his Hobao Hyper with OS engine and this new Werks Race Blend Fuel in the future. Congrats and all the best wishes for you JQ

The European Championship 2007 held in Auxerre, France had ended earlier last week and the man who was on top of the podium is none other than the Top qualifier man himself, Robert Batlle. He is now officially the 2007 European Champion.
Driving his New Released Hobao Hyper 8.5 Pro Buggy and powered by the Axe Engine, Robert claimed the right to brag as the fastest racer in the 2007 Euro Championship. He claimed the Top Qualifier position led by 1 point only to the second position, the former European Champion, Yannick Aigoin. Sadly, the final left Yannick at the no.22. It was his brother, Jerome Aigoin made it to the no.7 in the final. Interestingly, the Robert Batlle TQ also meant that Yannick Aigoin record of going for the hat trick Euro Top qualifier did not come true. Furthermore, Robert deserved the pole position for his great run at the round 3 and 4. Of course with his display of run in the final, leaving two of the Ninja powered Mugen buggies behind, no one could denied his Hyper 8.5 Pro with the assistance of the powerful Axe engine, his father as the mentor and skillful mechanic Armiche, he took the checkered flag with proud. Congratulation, Robert!
