    The D8T Evo3 from HB Racing takes the D817T and updates it to the latest “D819RS style” drivetrain, front and rear suspension arm mounts and sway bars. Key features include all-new suspension geometry, a new lightweight aluminum chassis, new front and rear aluminum shock towers, new truggy suspension arms, C-hubs, front hubs, and rear hubs. Universal drive shafts are now standard, along with a HB molded nylon wing, longer travel shocks, and a heavy-duty servo saver. The new D8T Evo3 follows the HB Racing concept... constant evolution to stay at the front of the pack.

    The D8T Evo3 is built around a tough 7075 aircraft aluminum chassis that’s black anodized and strategically machined to decrease weight and balance the flex characteristics. Standard equipment includes the race-proven HB 4WD system with high strength steel center drive shafts, steel Universal Joints, 43/10 differentials with tough sintered gears, precision machined steel input gears, and a heavy duty spur gear. “D819RS style” differential input gears and ball bearings combine to increase the efficiency of the drivetrain over the D817T. To decrease drivetrain rotating weight the steel spur gear is lightened, as are the diff outdrives and center inputs.

    A one-piece CNC engine mount holds the engine in place on the 7075 alloy chassis. A complete competition 3-shoe clutch is included, along with sintered brake pads and double ground brake discs for fade free braking and consistent brake feel. Fully adjustable brake/throttle linkage is standard, as well as a racing fuel tank with stone clunk, and a lightweight foam air filter. A convenient covered electronics box allows easy removal for cleaning and maintenance, and easy access to servos.

    The D8T Evo3 suspension features new truggy suspension arms that allow fine tuning of the stiffness of the front and rear arms to suit track conditions and driving styles. Racers can adjust the grip and feeling of the arms using optional stiff arms and carbon plates to increase the torsional stiffness of the suspension arms, which gives the car a more forgiving feeling at the limit, especially on high-speed and high-traction corners. The new truggy suspension arms allow racers to use the same suspension arm blocks found on our 1/8 buggies, which makes tuning and maintenance easier.

    The all-new suspension geometry includes new hard anodized machined aluminum 12.5° front caster blocks, and new front & rear hubs with improved geometry, front and rear machined hard anodized aluminum shock towers, front and rear “D819RS style” sway bars with 1-piece links, and hinge pin inserts for easy toe and anti-squat settings. To soak up the bumps, longer stroke HB Racing big bore threaded coilover shock absorbers are standard equipment. They’re now secured with screw-type shock pins with standard & reverse threads to prevent loosening, and are color coded for easy identification.

    The D8T Evo3 steering system is built for durability and easy adjustment. A heavy-duty servo saver has been added, utilizing a stronger spring and matching clamping servo upper adjustment cap. Also included are steel turnbuckles, aluminum drag link, highly adjustable Ackerman geometry using steering knuckle plates, and CNC machined hard anodized aluminum steering blocks that are fitted with carbon fiber steering arms, which can be swapped for a range of option arms to adjust the Ackerman for pinpoint steering.

    At the rear is our durable high downforce HB molded nylon rear wing. A one-piece high wing mount puts the wing in less turbulent air flow which helps produce more downforce. A new aluminum rear shock tower allows racers to adjust the wing height and body mount height. The D8T Evo3 is supplied with no body so racers can choose their favorite shell.

    The D8T Evo3 takes the nitro truggy class to the next level with race winning performance and proven durability from the team at HB Racing.
