Making it's way as an advert in one of the pages of Xtreme RC Mag is the new HoBao Hyper 9. Following similar design cues from the ST Mini: most notably a tilted engine.

I'm pretty sure that car has a small block engine, judging by the small air filter. Doubt its the hyper 9. Still anxious to find out what it is

Dunno what the significance of the large number 9 is in the back ground then lol.

I think we'll just have to wait and see on this one you know.

Everything seems very similar to the Mini-ST

Maybe its a Hyper 9 cos the engine is a 0.90 like the other smaller offroad rallycross buggies?

well it doesnt look like a picture from hobao themselves so will most likely been taken by someone then had the writing put in the background
i think its way too early to bring out a hyper 9 the 8.5 wasnt long ago

I agree with rcsammy, look at the turnbuckles, they look really thin compared to the ones on other Hypers, they look more like touring car turnbuckles.
