D2 seen @ HRH Shootout
 

Hod Bodies new two wheel drive electric buggy - the D2 - has finally been seen in public this past week over in the USA. The car was raced last weekend in preparation for this weekends Hot Rod Hobbies Shootout - 27-29th June.


Team drivers Travis Amezcua and Jesse Robbers, along with Adam Skelding from England who actually designed the car for Hot Bodies - will all be racing the car at the shootout. Adams car is the one shown in the photos - kindly sent over from the event! The refinements and details are still to come, but Hot Bodies haven't been sitting still since the prototype first appeared earlier this year.
The car still uses the alloy main chassis and moulded side 'pods' - but the 2-piece towers are replaced with more conventional 1-piece designs. The most striking thing without looking under the body, is the body shell itself, which has never been seen in public before. This is clearly designed to match its 4WD sibling, the D4.


Thanks to Adam for sending the photos. Adams paint is by Tels Shells.

I like it :woot:

Someone take the shell off please :woot:

Cheers Rob :thumbsup:

Try using the search function in future :thumbsup:

i had a feeling it would have the d4 grills on it..looks awsome

well done:thumbsup:

looks good now to see how well it drives? I want a go :p, whats the weight like with all elecs in and cells?

Awwww, that's how my next 2wd buggy will look like! :wub

I thought he was looking for any more recent pics as things may have changed a little, like the towers :)

car looks realy good, will look forward to hearing how it goes.

Thought the same thing :thumbsup:

And it does look really good :D

Looks like I need to start saving more money.

I must say that the body looks great, nice to see a fresh shape in the market.

Reminds me a little of this actually - which I always thought was a SEXY car...

i dont see the resemblance myself!!!

looks cool tho!

nice shell guessing that tel sprayed it as its in adams colours look sweet makes me wish id still got my d4 now :cry:

does it take B4 wheels?

Am I going to be the first to say I don't like the look of the shell?

I reckon it looks odd. But then I don't like the D4 shell either :)

Good work on the car though :thumbsup:

The D4 can use b4/xxx rears, so I would not be surprised if it could too.

i don t like it too ;P but it s ok and the car itself is very cool

Guys we should'nt critisize this car to much the least we can say is thank you. To the guys at hotbodies for designing this lovely car after all it's not the shell what matter's it's the inside what does. And to be honest i think it's awsome
