Hot Bodies Cyclone D2 2wd buggy Categories - Hot Bodies, Electric Off Road, Cars, Products - comments closed 
We already brought you some information, as well lots of close up photos of the new Cyclone D2 from Hot Bodies during the Toy Fair last week, but now HPI have published complete information about the car. In development for over a year it has been designed with strength, tuning, maintenance and compatibility in mind. The most unique thing you’ll notice is the aluminium main chassis, machined from 7075-series alloy, serves as the backbone of the Cyclone D2 and also as a solid mounting point for all the critical components of the buggy. The battery tray can fit standard 6 or 7 cell sub-C batteries or any hard case Li-Po pack designed for RC cars, held in place with large thumbscrews for a secure fit. By using stiff foam padding and offset cell trays you can easily alter the weight balance of the buggy for increased steering or more traction.

Toy Fair - Hot Bodies Cyclone D2 Categories - Exhibitions, Hot Bodies, Products - comments closed
Hot Bodies have the company’s new Cyclone D2 2wd electic buggy on display. This long awaited and much hyped car is here apparently only still in its prototype form but it looks pretty good. Shown only under a glass cover, the car comprises of a tub chassis, similar to other cars in its class as well as having the electric motor mounted behind the rear axle. The version we saw also had carbon shock towers, but without having talked to a Hot Bodies rep I cant tell you any more about it.
UPDATE: The car also has a metal chassis, which I hadnt noticed before.

Jonas Kaerup joins Hot Bodies Categories - Hot Bodies, Electric, On Road, Racing, Drivers - comments closed 
Jonas Kaerup has made a surprise move only a short time before the 2008 DHI-CUP, with the former European 1:10 electric Touring Car Champion deciding to end his relationship with Corally, and race the Hot Bodies Cyclone for Morfars.dk and Hot Bodies Europe. Jonas had to say-
It is a major chance to get to drive the Hot Bodies Cyclone and I am thrilled to get the opportunity. The car has won the European championships and World championships in the hands of Andy Moore. It is probably the best car I get to drive now, so I cannot wait to try it on the track.
As well as signing up to Hot Bodies, Morfars.dk and Much More Racing, Jonas will be continuing to run GM motors and batteries with Xenon racing gears.
