The D2, Hot Bodies long awaited 2WD buggy has been rumoured for a while, and was finally shown today at the Nuremberg ToyFair. We managed to get some exclusive shots of the car:
![]() The Hot Bodies D2 features a 3mm alloy main chassis plate with plastic side pods screwed along its length, to add stiffness and a location for the electrics. The alloy extends to the front, forming the required 'kick up' - and all the way to the rear for the gearbox and suspension mounting. ![]() The chassis is slotted for traditional cells and uses plastic trays to protect them. 7 slots mean more positions are available, combined with similar plastic trays to the D4 which allow fore/aft movement by turning them 180 degrees. The car uses 2 piece front and rear shock towers - the same carbon fibre part on either side braced against the bulkhead and main chassis at the front, and a similar arrangement at the rear. You only have to replace half a shock tower! The car in the photos sports D4 dampers but the final car will use the updated & simpler design of the D4 Worlds dampers. HB have new metric front wheels - and accompanying wheels from the D4 at the rear using a large Hex just like the D4, so should be able to use Losi style wheels at the rear like the D4 can. |
