HB D815 Ty Tessman Edition 1/8th nitro buggy

HPI Racing introduce the latest incarnation of HB’s World Championship winning D8 series buggy, the D815. Building on the buggy that won the 2014 IFMAR Worlds the the D815 features an array of new or redesigned parts such as a tougher, simpler and lighter drivetrain with a new 43/13 gear ratio, it comes with upgraded centre driveshafts with CVD boots and a split centre bulkhead for easier maintenance and tuning. Also new are steel brake discs combined with sintered brake pads, as well as several updated suspension parts such as new aluminium steering blocks with carbon steering arms, new carbon rear hub carrier arms, new rear uprights and a one-piece radio tray that fits most LiPo battery packs. Overall the changes are meant to lead to an improved balance with more rear end grip and a better high-speed feel. Included with the kit, that will hit the stores in April, is also a genuine Pro-Line Trifecta lightweight lexan rear wing. The D815 makes a first appearance at this week’s Dirt Nitro Challenge and you can find more detailed images in our New in the Pits feature by clicking here.
