HB Racing D418 4WD buggy – Teaser images

HB Racing have released first production kit images of their forthcoming D418 1/10th 4WD competition buggy. No additional information, beside what is already known, was given and so it is understood that the buggy will utilise the proven, however slightly updated, D4 series front and rear suspension elements that couple to a newly developed aluminium main chassis plate with updated weight distribution thanks to a front mounted shorty battery, a centre motor position and a more reward-facing centre bulkhead. We bring you more information on the kit as soon as it becomes available.
