In what turned out to be my last run, I sheared a CVD pin, and lost front wheel drive... Wasn't it the same thing that happend with Ty's car at the Nats?

Anything I can do in the future to avoid this happening again, or is it just something that happens sometimes?
Me and my teammate are using the tekno conversion and the cvd pin never comes out anymore. But we are having a problem with the camber rod ends wearing by themselves really bad. Anyone else having this problem thanks.

Default Hot Bodies Kits and Spares,

Hi Guys,

Its good to see such a popular thread on the D812 and and having a D812 myself its good to see the tips and updates you have given,

I know its frustrating having to wait for parts and the availabilty for them is very hard,

I just like to mention that I do have 2 kits in stock, and I have also split Kits just to get the parts available so the D812 can keep going on the track, if you need any parts please contact me and I will do my best to help you guys out,

thanks

Chris

Default Website update

I was looking at some HPI kits today and noticed the website has been completely overhauled. Guess it has something to do with Great planes being the exclusive distributor. They finally combined HPI Europe, HB America, and HB racing into one website. Even noticed the D8 truggy kit is not showing. Anyhow looks like Great Planes has them on the right track to being competitive in the market place.

I have about 5 left from my last order. Let me know soon if you want one. I just had a guy message me that he wanted all five. Still working out some details though on that deal.

Guys just in case someone is interested in converting their D812, I'm selling my RC monster electric conversion kit on ebay for the D8 which I have tested on my D812 and it works perfectly, it ends in 8 hours http://www.ebay.com/itm/251300092367...84.m1555.l2649

Cheers!

Just the ones we don't need. The Front Arms are not.

Are the D8 arms and D812 arms interchangeable?
