The axles that are on the rear of David's car with the dogbones are new. They were designed specifically to use with the D815, the dogbone is the same dogbone that is in the front center of the car, so when the axle is available they are a direct bolt on. They were designed for bumpy tracks, they should be available soon, they are not the same axle that was previously available.

I would have to guess that those axles are for the front or for the front and rear of the d812.
The d815 rear hubs use a 12x21 inner bearing and an 8x16 outer bearing, and those axles don't look like they have the correct step in them to fit correctly into the d815 rear hubs. If they do somehow fit, the rear axles on David's car looks different than the ones you provided a link for.

I've never seen a front axle dogbone setup even on the likes of a Vorza/D8S/Trophy which are RTR's designed to meet a price point.
If it's just a lightweight version of http://www.hpiracing.com/en/part/101061 there must be a bigger purpose for this part:
* Option part for D8TTE rear hub?
* Option part for the D815-E, which may come with D812 hubs as standard in the kit to keep the overall price down?
* Option part for existing RTR's?
I'm now curious what part# 115394 - HEAVY DUTY STUB AXLE are?
Then again, I could be just reading too much into it...

Thank you for support! I have no doubt that this is the best brand on the market!

I tested my D815 by starting with my D812 base setup exactly except for the new gearing. Tested to see how the new gearing feels. Then I made one change at a time to all the new D815 parts including front hubs, rear hubs, etc.
I think there is a big difference in a great way between the D812 and D815
Much smoother throttle feel, better brakes, more consistent shocks, and I really like the 17.5 front hubs. Steering was fast, smooth, and stable. On a really loose surface, I like the outer lower hole on the D812 rear hubs, so I keep a set of D812 rear hubs since I can't replicate this setting with the D815 rear hubs.
And on top of the better handling, the better servo saver (beefed up, no longer loosens over time, and no longer rubs the front center cvd), split center diff, and no more failing cvd pins in the center driveshafts makes the D815 that much better.
So far, the car has been great.

I thought the #2 and #1 were 1mm and 2mm lower than stock respectively. This wouldn't replicate the lower holes of the d812 hubs which are about 3 to 4mm lower plus offset to give less camber gain. Am I incorrect on this? Don't want to spend the big bucks on hub plates if they don't get me what I want.

I wonder if the 20deg caster was used to offset some of those trade-offs...

anyone know why amain's ETA on the kits go back and forth between July 17 and 30? Seen it switch several times so far.
Hopefully the kits will start to get distributed soon...
edit:nvm, omni models still has them
