Deafty Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 How nice of HPI to take the time and list the changes made. looks like some carbon and alloy thrown on. Is this like the original D8 series that was sold under that Asian fellas racing ability but actually met maybe 30% of his car spec.? The D8 platform aint 1/2 bad but seriously, HPI think we'll buy this because of their masterful marketing blurb alone? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTris Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Looks nice. Wouldn't want to bash one of these though, as the price will no doubt be ridiculous with it being geared towards racers.. Are those PLASTIC chassis braces I see? Yuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
