HB Racing E817 1/8 eBuggy.
Not a lot of info around yet for the E817. Here are a few pics I have found on the net. It looks good and Ronnefalk just used it to win the E-Buggy Euros.

So I had a chance to absorb and go over the specs, various pics over on neobuggy (no internal/off body shots yet) following Ronnefalks win at the E-Buggy Euros:-
Overall a well though-out design, no stones left unturned:-
- Orange front center brace - I guessing chassis flex was an issue on higher grip tracks
- Short rear carbon tower - First appeared on Ronnefalk's D815v2, these are similar/same geometry to the D8 112mm shock tower using the D8TTE front shock body/ or 112mm shock body from the D8. Ronnefalk notes a 'more easy and flat in high speed corners'. In other words more suited for Euro type tracks with long, flowing corners.
- Battery brace - inspired by 10th scale? Quicker access/swapping of batteries? Better compatibility with various battery lipo lengths?
- Universals (compared to CVDs) - Some preferred these over CVDs for less maintenance. UNIs are also bit better in the bumpy conditions but loses some forward bite compared to CVDs
- D815 style drivetrain (center F/R dog bone + 10T input gear) with old style D812/D8TTE 43/10 gear ratios. D815 uses a 13T input gear. I believe this will now carry over with the D8TTE update!
- Rear hubs that's compatible with CVD and Uni's - back to 8x16 inner bearings?
- Pro-Line Predator body included - Awesome that nitro bodies can still be used as specific ebuggy bodies can be hard to come by
- I could be wrong, but the E817 does not appear to use the extended +4mm chassis. I also noticed the lack of rear chassis guard/plate.
- Ronnefalk is using the wing from the Kyosho MP9 Tki3. What will the kit come with?

Notes: Due to the pre-production nature of the newly crowned European Championship winning car we were asked not to shoot ‘Under the Hood’.

Perfect! I thought he said Tekno convertion; got me fooled. Hopefully it won't come out right away lol because I just bought a D815V2 last week!!!

Oct is not that far away, my guess there would be an official press release post-IFMAR 1/8 Worlds following podium finishes by the HB Racing team...
