The D418 4WD Competition Buggy!

Coming soon from HB Racing is the D418 1/10 scale 4WD electric buggy. HB designer Torrance Deguzman updated his innovative D413 design with new high performance features based on feedback from our top team drivers. New for the D418 is an aluminum chassis with raised side guards, similar to the successful 1/8 D817 buggy. HB’s trademark monocoque suspension arms now come in a harder material as standard equipment for precise suspension and handling response. The center bulkhead is now split for easier and quicker access to the center differential. The highly adjustable suspension now has revised suspension travel and shock length for improved performance. And, the D418 kit is now topped with a clear JConcepts 4WD buggy body and JConcepts wing. How does faster, stronger, and more adjustable sound? The D418 checks all of the boxes.

Just got this car, WOW...I prefer this to my Xray and EB410. Was as fast with this car on the first pack as I am with my other cars Ive had for a while. This is the only 4WD buggy I drive now. Build was great, instructions are good, quality is top notch. You basically get all the good things of the Xray and the EB410 without the cost of the Xray. Lots of aluminum and Carbon Fiber...even includes a metal aluminum servo arm. Cars has a lot of adjustments that can be made. The only thing I would say is get some stiffer springs for the front. Very happy with buggy!

Not my first buggy, but my first 4wd racing kit. Definitely not a beginner kit. You'll need (or have access to) proper ride height and camber gauges as none of the lengths noted in the instruction manual (for turnbuckles) result in anything driveable. Overall though, the build was great and the materials are top-notch. The added bonus of getting a set of wheels in the box should also factor a bit into the cost. On that note, it's on par with a lot of the newer 4wd buggies out there.

The car drives amazingly well. Is a fairly aggressive steering car with more forward weight bias, and it is really reactive in the air. Aside from that, you also can't beat that legendary HB toughness either. Less spare parts to buy balances out some of the costs in the long run. Just a note, if you're going to running a spec class (I run 13.5), you'll want to get the Exotec diff adapter and change down to a 68T spur. The FDR on this buggy seems higher than a B64, so you'll need to be able to gear up, otherwise jacking a ton of timing into your motor.

The other cool thing about the buggy - you'll automatically not be "just another B64D in the field" :)

This is by far the best buggy that I have driven to date. Super easy to build and tough as hell. Coming from the top 3 makes out there that I have owned AE , X Ray and Yokomo this thing out jumps them with superb mid air stability. Agility is like an XB4 18 with even lesser mistakes when driven hard. Shocks are beautiful and I enjoy building them being a non Aerated design.

Definitely a huge improvement over the previous model. Looking forward for more dirt sessions with this baby!!

First dude may have a point. As much as I like my HB cars (I have several), they don't have the support,customer service, and customer interest needed to ask for this kind of money for this kit. This in no way reflects on Amain, they are the go to place most of the time.

EDIT:
I've got the buggy. It's still done nicely and top quality.

Comparing it to my recent kyosho build, this puts the kyosho in a toy type category. There is no comparison between the two and what you get. Even comes with an aluminum servo horn.

Build quality was good. Only hiccup was having to dremel the motor mount where it rubbed the spur (only an issue on the first batch of cars)

Car drives very well with base setup. Feels a lot like a YZ4. This car is definitely an upgrade over the D413 and worth the money!

This buggy is built similar to the d413 but the overall balance and drivablity is better I really really like it and would recommend it

The 413 is still listed at 429$ so obviously the new car will be more expensive..Although it looks similar apparently all the plastic is harder and new electronics layout is going to make the car drive very different..My 413 has been one of the most durable cars I've owned and it is still competitive five years after it's released..Im looking forward to the new one

I love the original D413 as I’ve had mine for over two years now. I don’t know about you guys, but this is crap asking for $500 for this new kit THAT SHOULD JUST BE SOLD AS AN UPGRADE KIT, maybe $200 at THE MOST! It looks like 90% of the parts are the same as the D413! Really HB!!!???

I doubt I’ll be supporting you and buying this kit! It doesn’t even look like you upgraded the weak parts like the front arm mounting screws that go into the diff housing that BEND ALL THE TIME!

I’m very disappointed.
