New in the Pits – HB & Pro-Line
Ty Tessmann is running a pre production version of the soon to be released HB D815 Worlds Edition. The final version is based on the car that Ty used to win the World Championship last year in Sicily and will come supplied with a PL Trifecta wing and Type-R body shell. Expected to be released in the coming months it comes with 17.5 degree front caster blocks instead of the standard 15 degree version, new front and rear diff cases similar to those used in the 1/10th scale D413, utilising the same style crown and pinion gears. A new radio tray is much smaller than previously and fits a LiPo pack better while a new 2-piece centre diff mount allows you to access the diff from the top as well as mount the new linkage system.
The brakes have also been revised, using steel brake discs and brake pads with a fibre based material, while the steering system sports a new aluminium servo saver arm with a clamp style tension nut. New rear hubs, with their carbon top link mounting plates, combined with the longer rear dog bones give the car increased rear grip. Updated anti-roll bars with the ends bent to be perpendicular to the A-arm make for a more free motion of the part. Finally there is a new lighter rear wing mount.
Also from the mind of Ty Tessmann and realised by Pro-Line is the new Enforcer Truggy bodyshell. With truggys getting more front steering, two aerodynamic scoops at the back of the shell help to balance the car and give it more stability
