HB Racing E817 long wheelbase chassis

New from HB Racing is a long wheelbase chassis to upgrade the E817 and E817V2 electric buggies to the same wheelbase as the E819. The new chassis is 2mm longer than the stock E817 chassis for improved handling and jumping. The main plate is precision machined from high-quality aluminium for a perfect fit, and hard anodised black for durability. When using the long wheelbase chassis the E819 36mm rear centre dogbone must be used.

Leadfinger Racing D819/E819 A2.1 Tactic body shell

Leadfinger Racing have announced the release of their A2.1 Tactic body shell for the HB Racing D819 and E819 buggies. The A2.1 Tactic body is a one off design that delivers a tuning option in between the original LFR Assassin and A2 Tactic bodies and it features the addition of the cowl scoops on the side pods. Depending on the performance the driver is looking for, these can be left alone to add to the overall down force of the car, or owners can choose to drill them out for additional cooling. When opened up, the pipe side of the cowl pulls air directly past the block and manifold of the nitro motor. The next addition was the fin on top of the roof. The advantage is more stability in high speed sections of the track and a more precise feel under hard cornering. Very effective is the additional down force added to both side pods and rear swoop that sets the body directly in between both the Assassin and A2 designs. The A2.1 body is available both in light weight or standard thickness, and it comes in clear, including window masks, stickers, and a front wing.
