HB Racing RGT8 1/8th nitro GT kit

HB Racing have introduced their new RGT8 1/8th nitro GT kit. Based off of the World Championship winning D815 buggy, both kits share many similarities and parts such as the heavy-duty drivetrain components with the RGT8 featuring a 2-speed transmission, monocoque suspension arms, suspension mounts with inserts and 16mm big bore shock absorbers. Other features include lightweight diff gears, rubber CVD boots, steel turnbuckles, machined engine mount and a 3mm 7075 chassis. The kit is rounded out by machined aluminium caster blocks, steering blocks and rear uprights. The steering system features an alloy servo saver arm, aluminium drag link, steel turnbuckles and woven carbon fibber steering arms on the steering blocks. Alternate arm mounts, steering blocks, caster blocks, steering arms, rear hub carrier arms and sway bars are all available to tune the RGT8 to any track or driving style. The vehicle comes in kit form, so racers can choose their own wheels, tyres, body, engine and electronics.
