Stevie.no1 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Did he tell you, you wern't getting that chassis? I received the 2 missing chassis off the Guy. Thanks for your help djr2096!! The Black version is BCE HBX Pro. Will it be as strong as the original version. I will be using this for bashing and eventually racing.

djr2096 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 From what I understand the BCE one is a really nice chassis. In some ways better then the Hara original chassis. That's the chassis that cought my eye when I saw your D8 on ebay! It's not a bashing chassis, so save that one for racing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertie Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Hi, just bought a D8, and was very impressed with its handling at the weekend (also have a Hyper 8.5pro), A question for you guys - My preference for batteries for the receiver is a Life battery, but it barely fits in the receiver compartment, what does anyone else do for battery power, ie got any pictures? thanks - Add me to the club please!

Welcome to the club ! I use a nimh 5 cell, specifically this one http://www.wheelspin....co.uk/i/47964/ It was designed for one like that however some lipo's do fit without any modifications, however Ty Tessmann runs it like this http://www.tytessman...radio_tray.html Edited May 8, 2012 by Arthyyyyyyy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djr2096 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Looks nice!! At the moment I'm wating for D8 parts to get here from the USA so i can rebuild my Trophy. It'll be a leccy vesion of what Ty Tessmann is running but with D8 shock towers. I'll be running the standed D8 body on it too. I'm a little stuck as to weather put a Trick shell or a Bulldog shell on my D8 nitro. Really not sure yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djr2096 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Hi guys, Just a quick update from me! Here's my new D8 Chassis from the US. Just bolted on my old HPI Trophy front & rear ends. Can's wait to get my D8E up & running! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) has it got trophy diffs? they don't like 6s.......... but they should be ok on 4s Edited May 15, 2012 by Jumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthyyyyyyy Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 has it got trophy diffs? they don't like 6s.......... but they should be ok on 4s Yea, the trophy uses the same diffs as the trophy. Except they use hardened internal gears. Hi guys, Just a quick update from me! Here's my new D8 Chassis from the US. Just bolted on my old HPI Trophy front & rear ends. Can's wait to get my D8E up & running! Looks sweet, using trophy parts has been a killer combo for Ty Tessman at the mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djr2096 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Yep Trophy Diffs. I 'm not gonna be running anything above 4S. I'm not a fan of silly speed just high speed. Yeah Tessmans D8 is going great guns at the moment. Hara is very much in the background. Wonder if he's been told to do that so that HPI/Hot Bodies can put a Tessman D8 out?

Hopefully, i've seen them been running prototype parts on the D8T & D8. Hopefully an update will come. Fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJ Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Hey guys, Been away from the hobby so to speak and the D8Te is still sat half complete in a box on the kitchen cupboard, sacrilege I know but I've now ordered a Savox 1256 & 1258 ready to finish this build. Can anybody help please? During the build I've lost the spacers for the rear lower outer hinge pin off one side, they're little plastic spacers used with the upgrade aluminium rear hubs. Does anybody know whether they're included when you buy the aluminium hubs or on a parts tree? If they're on a parts tree, what's the tree number or part number? Better still, if anybody has any spare lying around please let me know! I think I need four for one side? Thanks guys.
