Hi all, does anyone know if the Tekno RC motor mount from the tekno V4 conversion kit fit the e817 chassis?
I've killed my tekno V4 on my d812, and I'm updating it, but the price of the HB motor mount hurt...

Maybe we can hash out a deal?

I've read that some people had a problem with the orange front brace bending and also talk to someone today that they said there's was bent. Has anyone contacted HB to see if they know about this and if they have a solution

People just double up on that brace or get the upgraded VRP one that is stronger .

Some run a double brace, yes. I personally haven't bent one yet but I think it takes a serious hit to do so.

Bend two of orange chassis braces on two cars. One personally, one - my kid. One car upgraded with VRP1324, another car now have double. Will see in may as it's winter here.
So if you hit - will bend that part. But can straighten them with hummer. And I broke all aluminum rod balls, upgrade from HPI 101080 - solves that too.

Just a couple of questions

Do you guys run the optional taller rear tower? Is there any other option parts your running for low bite tracks?

I got a 2050kv system here, what size pinion are you using for medium open tracks?

Has anyone figured out how to lock down the rear end on low bite tracks?

Check out the D817 thread, there are many pages that discuss this.

The low graphite tower setup really helped lock in the rear end. The new V2 tower from the nitro can be used on the ebuggy with the proper rod ends to be a nice balance of locking the rear end down with more jump/landing forgiveness

Does the HW Xr8 plus fit on this car? If it does, Does anyone has pictures of how tight it is. Don't really want to buy another esc.
