pepe there are a few cars floating around. eric anderson has been runing one for awhile with great results. the revised cars were shipped out last friday, minor changes to the rear pod, battery tray, and front end placement. i haven't run the newer car yet but the first prototype run better then the old cars, imo. if you have any other questions i'll try to answer them.

The latest version and probably production version of the car ran very well last night in 4 cell stock at MSA Home of the 2002 ROAR Paved Oval Nats. Tied the track record 42 4.00.54. Its a record thats been very hard to break/tie. Should have been a 43 lap run but the driver lost his mind for a coulpe of laps!! I hope the Oval market is ready for the most adjustable car on the market....because its coming soon to a track near you!!

Ok guys...Some info you've been waiting for. The scheduled release date for the cars (if all goes well with the instruction manual and packaging) will be two weeks from this friday...That would be Sept. 20th.

Pics will be up in about a week. To hold you over till then here are a few details about the car.

5 wheelbase's to adjust with along with width adjustments in the front end, 6 shock locations on each side, 3 locations for the shock mount. The new HD (yet to be named) will also have a unique battery tray system that will be seen in the pics. Lots of adjustment on the battery tray.

The car has went through alot of changes from the original. Its been a long wait but it is well worth it. Mike Valentine (rocketkiller) has done an outstanding job drawing the car up and coming up with some new ideas. And Barry and Joe at Hyperdrive have put in long hours to get all the design changes put into kits for the factory drivers to test and get as close to perfect as possible for the public release.

Start saving your money guys.....Its coming to a track near you!!

Whats this machine going to cost me? hopefully no more than $200, but you rc manufacturers are money hogs, so i expect anything.

Maverick Racing hd will be offering a conversion kit also. so if you have another hd car 510 or 500 it will be easy to switch over. i only know of the company asc that sells a oval car for less then $200. but at $160 for the car then $75 for the new chassis your still over $200. everyone else that i know of sells cars for more then $200. not using that as way there over 2 but, no one else does the quanity asc does. there make a killing on spare parts that hd, racetech, adx, leading edge, kgb cars all use. thats why there car is under 2. have fun and buy what you want to, no one is forcing you to even buy a new car.:roll:

Well guys the cars are in production. Only thing we are waiting on are the instruction manuals. They should be here in the next couple of days. I would post pics of my car but its one of the early production ones and there are some changes to the production cars. If I can talk Barry into building one to take pics of.

The offical name of the car is the Hyperdrive 700 EASE.

Hey guys, I saw one of the new hyperdrives this weekend at my local track in Hamilton. Nice looking car, but what else did you expect. Wheelbase can be made extremely short. Infinite number of adjustments can be made- shocks , pod , t-bar. Both sides of front end slide in and out. You name it, it can be adjusted. Battery tray reminds you of an associated or kgb, slides forward and backward, except one cell can be moved really close to the left rear. Excellent looking car, i'm sure i'll have one!

Retail is the same as the 510. Which is 429.95 So the car should see in the shops for around 250ish or so.
