HB Racing D8T Evo3 nitro truggy

HB Racing have introduced their new D8T Evo3 nitro truggy. They have taken the previous D817T and updated to the latest “D819 style” drivetrain, engine mount, front and rear suspension arm mounts and sway bars. Key features include all-new suspension geometry based on a new lightweight aluminium chassis, new front and rear aluminium shock towers, new truggy suspension arms, C-hubs, front hubs, and rear hubs. Universal drive shafts are now standard, along with a HB moulded nylon wing, longer travel shocks, and a heavy-duty servo saver. New screw-type shock pins feature standard & reverse threads, and are colour coded for easy identification. The D8T Evo3 is supplied with no body shell, giving racers the ability to choose their own body shell. Optional carbon fibre inserts are available to tune the stiffness of the monocoque suspension arms.

RC Project S35-4 & D819 shock cap & membrane sets

Similar in design to the recently release ONG RC8B3.2 shock caps, RC Project have released shock caps for the Sworkz S35-4 & S35-3 and also for the HB Racing D819RS, D819 & D817. The 6 upper machined pockets on the cap have a dual purpose, reducing the weight of the cap, making it the lightest on the market as well as helping with heat dissipation. The 3 bleed holes coupled to the new membranes will allow a rebound close to 0 and a homogeneous response between the shock absorbers once closed. For the HB specific shock caps, the new geometry allows a front droop up to 107 mm in order to adapt the set-up according to the type of track with the caps mounting on the shock tower without any modification. Both kits include 12 membranes with 3 different hardnesses that will allow you to vary the behaviour of the shock absorber based on the track, the driving style and temperature.

Bittydesign Vision D819RS buggy body shell

Continuing to expand their Vision buggy body shell line-up Bittydesign have released a version for the HB Racing D819RS buggy. The lid’s design will offer an easier to drive and more balanced feeling thanks to a mid-advanced cab, side pod and rear side flaps shape that optimises the aerodynamic characteristics. In addition a flap behind the engine area guides the air towards the rear wing for a smoother and more directed airflow around the shock tower and lower wing mount. The pre-cut body is moulded from high-quality 1mm Lexan polycarbonate, it comes with window masks, overspray protective film and a decal sheet.
