HB Racing have announced the soon release of their new E819RS 1/8th scale electric buggy kit. The vehicle is based on the successful E819 kit and includes the latest development features from the HB Racing team.

A heavy duty aluminium centre chassis brace is now included as are new 17.5 degree caster blocks, now with M4 set screws for improved tightening and durability. Also included are new steering blocks with 2 degree inclined kingpins that split the difference between the previous stock 0 degree and the optional 4 degree blocks, along with new Delrin steering block spacers. A heavy-duty servo saver has been added, utilising a stronger spring and matching upper adjustment cap. And, new screw-type shock pins feature standard and reverse threads, and are colour coded for easy identification. The E819RS comes without body shell, giving racers the ability to choose their own body shell, and it will hit stores in August.
