Chassis Name – HB D8’12
Engine – OS Speed XZ
Tires – Pro-Line
Radio/Servos – Airtronics/Savox
Remarks – Ty is running the D8’12 with a number of new items designed specifically for this race based on their experiences at the warmup race. First up are new front and rear shock towers which allow for lower top shock absorber mounting positions which they felt was needed for dialling in their set-up on this unique surface. On the rear of the car there are new hubs that feature carbon fibre top plates with extra holes to allow a multitude of roll centre settings. The car is running a new as yet unnamed Pro-Line body shell developed by Ty himself of the D8. It features channeling along the top of the cockpit and large scoops at the rear of the shell to give maximum downforce on this high speed track. Also new are the Pro-Line Diamond Back tires in a new X3 compound. The tire features splits in the outer and most and centre cluster of pins and has less pins on the outer edge than in the centre. This is designed specifically for this track with its large top layer of dust.
