MIKE VALENTINE 08-08-2002, 09:58 AM 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.

EAMotorsports 09-01-2002, 08:20 PM 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!!

Hyper-Phobia 09-02-2002, 05:34 PM Is this new hyperdrive gonna be available in a 1/12th scale oval???:roll: :confused:
MIKE VALENTINE 09-03-2002, 10:20 AM Hyper-Phobia yes hd will have a new 1/12.
Hyper-Phobia 09-03-2002, 11:13 PM Great.....I'm looking forward to it!:thumbsup:
EAMotorsports 09-04-2002, 12:30 AM 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!!

Maverick Racing 09-04-2002, 12:36 AM Whats this machine going to cost me? hopefully no more than $200, but you rc manufacturers are money hogs, so i expect anything.
MIKE VALENTINE 09-04-2002, 03:17 PM 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:

rconroad 09-05-2002, 12:45 AM WHERE COULD I GET ONE OF THESE WHAT SOUNDS TO BE AN AWSOME CAR ASAP AS IN WHERE WOULD BE THE FIRST PLACETO SELL 1 HYPERDRIVE WEBSITE????
HOOPD1 09-05-2002, 12:49 AM I would bet Bruce at www.rc4less.com will be one of the first to have them online anyway.
therocketkiller are you going to have one at K/N this sunday and do you race there?
MIKE VALENTINE 09-06-2002, 09:48 AM i'm not sure if i will be there this sunday or not. all my r/c stuff is still in boxes. i just moved into a new house but if i make yes i will be running the new car. i hope also to be testing the 1/12 scale vary soon. i'll post pics if the money right, just kidding barry.:devil: 510-E.A.S.E. eric anderson stilts edition. :wave:
EAMotorsports 09-10-2002, 12:22 AM 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.

1Starpower 09-10-2002, 12:41 AM Hey Eric, Go ahead and post a pic of yours and just tell us the changes! I might like your car better than the production one and want to buy it from you.:lol:
rconroad 09-10-2002, 07:49 AM yeah if you would sed a pic of your car or post it i would like to see one i wasnt fortunate enoughto ever see it
Todd Gross 09-10-2002, 09:57 PM 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!
XXX-Fan 09-11-2002, 12:25 AM The car sounds awesome!!! Want to see some pics!!
Is there a round about price on what the car cost? Just wondering.
Randy:thumbsup:
rconroad 09-11-2002, 07:57 AM yeah a price would be nice for us budget racers that would like a new car
EAMotorsports 09-11-2002, 08:41 AM Retail is the same as the 510. Which is 429.95 So the car should see in the shops for around 250ish or so.
eric a
MIKE VALENTINE 09-11-2002, 09:53 AM pics should be posted by the end of the weekend.:thumbsup:
37 RACING 09-11-2002, 04:51 PM This car kinda sound's like it ressembles the Assassin!I can't wait to see it though i have $250.00 burning a hole in my pocket!I'm gonna either get this car or the Assassin(if i can wait long enough for the new Hyperdrive car)Either way i can't wait for pics!
BRDRACING 09-11-2002, 05:25 PM 37 racing,
