The E817 V2 1/8 Racing Buggy Kit!
Get ready, the E817 V2 1/8 scale 4WD electric buggy is coming soon from HB Racing. The “Version 2” of the E817 buggy is topped with a clear JConcepts Silencer buggy body and an updated molded nylon rear wing that is lightweight and more durable than polycarbonate wings. A narrow rear shock tower with revised shock length has been added for expanded range of shock adjustment. Updated machined aluminum 17.5° front caster blocks have been updated for extra strength. Updated aluminum steering linkage spacers replace the plastic spacers for improved bumpsteer geometry, more precise adjustment, less flex, and we revised the screw lengths to accommodate the updated spacers. Other updates include universal drive shafts, increased clearance ball end links, and updated body mounts.
Updated Features:
- JConcepts Silencer Clear Body
- Updated Molded Rear Wing

Je n’ai pas écrit dès que je l’ai acheté et après une saison, un modèle pour une championne, elle aide vraiment à aller et pardonne à JJ des coups durs, tous les pilotes savent qu’elle est un taureau, sa technologie a 2 ou 3 ans d’avance sur tout le monde et son style est en avance, je suis satisfait de l’achat. sur tous et le bonheur.

Lets start at the beginning.
As most people do, they either go with the popular set up sheet from top pros, or the base set up in manual. Take either. Page one, well, you must go buy parts to even build to STOCK set up. They give you 16 shock pistons, all which are wrong. So you gotta at the very least, go buy a drill bit set and drill out pistons. So think about this...They want you to drill a 1.5mm and 1.6mm hole. So this is so critical, the 0.1mm is needed for optimal performance. What about a crooked hole? Can you drill 20 holes exactly straight? Does the buggy perform bad because you drilled holes a few degrees off?
So you get the pistons and you think you are set. They recommend 45 and 40 oil for shocks. Sweet, kit comes with correct oil right? Nah...they give you two bottles of 500.
Once you are pretty disgusted with the shocks, move to the diffs. You better buy a tap set when you order the drills, because you are guaranteed to strip the diff screws. They are nearly an inch long, and the holes are way too small. You must grease the screw, force each one in. Half of the screws will get stripped or close to it even when greased. You need something better than a HUDY driver to have any luck.
Manual is junk.
The buggy performs well on the track, but its basically a lesser quality tekno. Yes, I know the big names run HB, but they are paid. Its not because this buggy is great (and I was a big HB fan before this buggy)
It may just get parted out at this point, I didnt get past page 2 of manual..pretty disgusted with the quality.

I was at the track just last week early July 1st week. It was on a soft clay track hard pack nice tight corners good triple jumps Etc I am probably above-average novice driver. The car seemed to handle well and land well on the jumps it was slightly underpowered . I thought but he could be running different pinion gear and so on. I have a much more powerful setup in my vehicle. anyways I looked at it in the pits, after I was told of the difficulty of setting the vehicle up and building it .. The father had to take over for the 17 year old son who gave up. I might add he has built multiple other 1/8 scale and 1/10 scale vehicles. He tried to explain to me something about having to drill out shock holes for the piston and a few other items. If I'm going to spend that kind of money I don't want any hassles assembling it also this was the first generation model not the newer 2nd gen maybe they improved the manual and a few other parts of the vehicle. Thank you
