Hi, I am fairly new to racing and am wondering if anyone has a D812. Am looking for set up advice for a loose rough track. I run at MMRX Wakefield. My set up at the moment is; Front 1dot down 1 up on camber link Inner hole on hub Middle on tower for shock 40wt with yellow springs built dead. -2 camber 1 toe out 28mm height. Arms 1mm front 2mm rear. Rear 1 dot up front and rear 1 hole up camber link Top inner on hub 1 hole down on tower for shock 35wt with blue springs built dead -3 camber 3.5 toe in. 28mm height Arms fully forward. Diffs are f5k, c3k, r2k Tyres are pro line blockades. These felt better that the aka impacts I was using. It pushes on exit of corners and then the breaks away very quickly and spins the car. Want to get the back to stick better. Any help greatly appreciated.

As for the tessmann edition, a lot of the bits have come from the d812, rear suspension blocks with the pill inserts and pins are from the d812 as are the diffs and all the lightweight suspension parts and shocks. Only bits I can see that are new are shock towers and front and rear hubs and drive shafts.

Look on eBay and they go for a lot cheaper than a main hobbies. Just widen your search for all countries.

Latest update for my d8t. Got my centre shafts coming this week, then front shafts, tank and engine mount next month, so frustrating as I just want to drive it now. pictured with its little brother , my d812

Yep, got a novarossi keep-off for it

Hi, am new to the truggy world. Am presently building a D8t up to race next year. Still a bit of work to do but am doing it as and when I have funds to buy bits. Have a D812 as my buggy so keeping it in the family.

The shell is just the standard shell for the d812. Bought it built and painted so not my choice of colour. Engine is a keep-off 21-7xl just run in so starting to tune it now.
