HB Racing E8 World Spec 1:8 eBuggy

In a natural follow on from the announcement of their D8 World Spec 1:8 Nitro Buggy last month, HB Racing has released CAD images of the electric variant – the E8 World Spec. Updated to the eBuggy include the same suspension redesign found on the nitro D8 WS buggy. New front and rear suspension helps the E8 WS excel on high speed and high grip race tracks. The key parts are new symmetrical suspension arms, adjustable pills on all 4 of the inner suspension mounts, new caster blocks, steering hubs, and rear hubs. Many of the parts are compatible with the latest HB Truggies and nitro buggy, so racers need fewer spare parts at the track.

HB Racing D4 Evo3 1:10 4WD Buggy

New from HB Racing is their D4 Evo3 1:10 scale 4WD electric buggy. HB designer Torrance Deguzman has updated his D418 design with new high performance features aimed to optimise performance on carpet and high grip race tracks. The D4 Evo3 includes a new chassis that moves the motor forward for improved weight balance, new gearboxes to allow lower ride height without compromising the suspension geometry, a lowered carbon fibre front shock tower, and E8 style chassis braces/rods that allow side flex while maintaining bending stiffness. Also included are Dual Cardan Joint front universals to eliminate front wheel chatter, machined aluminium front caster blocks, and new fully adjustable machined aluminium rear hub carriers.

HB Racing D819RS World Spec parts

HB Racing has released a number of new ‘World Spec’ parts for its 1:8 Buggy platform. During last September’s IFMAR World Championship in Redovan, Spain, their team drivers were running some prototype parts as part of their ongoing chassis development. The performance increase of the HB Racing D819RS was so good that HB Racing has decided to produce a batch of these World Spec Parts for the owners of D819RS and E819RS. Among the ‘World Spec’ parts release are a new chassis plate, new front & rear suspension arms and compatible woven graphite covers, a caster block set and a steering block set. Use of some of the parts require some modifications of the original kit chassis or the use of the new World Spec Chassis.
