As with all HB kits, the weight is super low. The lower your weight is, the harder you can push your corner speed! Suspension World Championship proven steering geometry provides the car with quick responsive steering without jeopardizing strength. Once again drawing on our D8 knowledge, our super sized shock package is the largest in its class allowing the Ve8 to withstand the largest of jumps and bumps. CNC machined suspension mounts hold the hinge pins in place without e clips anywhere. The captured hinge pin design makes maintenance easy! Drivetrain The Ve8 uses extra heavy duty spiral cut diffs to get the power from the driveshafts to the wheels. Six steel universal dogbones are used for the center driveshafts and at each corner to get the power from the middle diff to front and rear diffs, and also from the diffs to the wheels. The optional disc brakes can be adjusted separately front and rear using the unique linkage that brings the adjustment linkage of both brakes above the middle block deck.Dimensions Chassis Length from Bumper to rear wing end no tyres 500mm Width 305mm Wheelbase 329mm Drive System 4WD Shaft System #67536 Hot Bodies Ve8 Kit 18 Scale Electric Competition Buggy no motor, speedo, radio or tyres included
