HB 2WD buggy
 

Hot Bodies has a 2WD buggy in the works according to their team drivers, who were hoping to have it at the World Championships the other week. I assume it's been delayed to make it super-duper, and being tested right now...

So, has anyone seen it?! Any photos kicking around?

Anybody knows where the motor will be located? Rear? Mid?
Are HB shocks better than Asso? Better than Losi?

We want news!!!! :p

I've "Heard" it will be very close to a B4, so i would expect rear mounted motor etc.

Anyone know if this has been race tested yet? I mean secretly dug out at a Regional or club race, maybe with an existing shell on to mask it?

that sounds cool, but it will probably be another clone that's more expensive than the original.

:rolleyes: How about lets wait and see before you slate it

it would probably be cheaper or same price, they would commercialy shoot themselves in the foot if they over priced the car!

the d4 should not have a $500 price tag, it should be more like the associated b44 at $325. They are both copies of the bj4, but i thnk that the associated is actually better than the bj4. Hot bodies is known for always overpricing their items. HPI should do a better job of regulating this division.

you got the wrong end of the stick, because the dollar is soooo weak it means that ALL foreign goods end up costing more, due to the exchange rate. In the UK, pricing is far more competitive. Although it does mean that buying from the states is far nicer!

you are the first person to finally understand that! When people are lookin to get stuff, i will post the product they are looking for from an online retailer over here. The international express shipping from this company is $24.95 (1 week delivery) and standard flat rate is $8.99(1-4 week delivery, but closer to 4. flat rate.) This company isalready cheaper than most online retailers, and the shipping just makes it better.

Jimmy.
You should be a lot closer to Adam.
Nod & Wink
The eyes have seen it.

Lindsay;);););)

haha, yeah I know Adam is THE MAN - the guys in Japan all reffered to him when any mention of the car was made... :)

Ah Skeldingsan, you a wise man! Very nice tyres! :D

I assume it's been delayed because they broke their calipers :rolleyes:

Haha, now that IS funny :D

G

I think it should be mid-motor'ed to help introduce them into the US.

Any Ideas what it’s going to be called?
D2?

most definitely

is there any relationship between the D2 and that hpi car ?

looks cose to the associated ... would be strange if they would bring a completly new car ... but hpi ?

The caliper mafia strikes again!

good call - looks like it could be the basis for the HB 2wd for sure.

Jimmy.

You are not even close.
You will all have to wait a bit longer.;););)

LOL, its a T4.

The rear looks like a Losi.

Did their designer die or something........... They stole the Jconcepts 4wd, and now they stole thw 2wd. O'well I was actually surprised BD didn't have the ball's on claiming the 2wd worlds by calling it a HB car (it has their shocks, and that will be pretty much the only difference between them and the B4(, well ok it might have metric screws)).

idea for new advert:

TEAM HPI / HB

DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT

I like that quote :p :D

Their 1/12th car also reminds me of something...

I love those battery straps on the 12th

I Love all this hypothetical crap you guys come out with.

I bet it looks like this.....
I bet it looks like that......

Keeps me entertained.....

One way to shut everyone up then Adam :D:D

I think i've got a good idea what it will be like though......

Can't stop speculation! :)

I reckon.... it will have four wheels, four shocks, a motor and gearbox and suspension arms.... plus mostly in black...

I think it will have a purple anodised everything and will come with some tyres we'll never use in the UK (also purple anodised).

I reckon some of it will be that purple colour too, that they obviously stole from HPI tbh :eh?:

edit: jimmy posted about purpleness faster than i did :/

hope it don't come with big purple ball ends.... that could be said oh so wrongly....

purple is for girls

No Tyres....

Just moulded grp inserts, lol

or blue ones...

I reckon you're all wrong and that its gonna look like this.:D
