JQ Products Hyper 8.5 Options

JQ Products Hyper 8.5 Options

JQ Products, the company started by Finnish racer Joeseph Quagraine, has released information on his first publicly available products, all of which come in gold or black machined aluminium. Made for the HoBao Hyper 8.5 there are new shock towers, which are lighter than the stock versions, with the front one saving you 6 grams while the rear one 14 grams. The front tower is also stronger due to the fact that the upper arm holes aren’t drilled all the way through, removing the need for the usual plastic piece. Also released are som front arm holders, designed to accept a toe-in bushing making it possible to add more kick up to help in the bumps and jumps. Finally some front wide arm holders have been made available, that are to be used together with Hyper 7 front arms. This is something that JQ himself used for the last 2 years when he raced for HoBao, and which makes the car a lot easier to drive by making it more stable, tracking straight in bumps and more level in jumps. The wide spacers are placed behind the Hyper 7 arm, on the hingepin.
