Default HB D216?

Hi all, as the D216 is released today, I’m thinking of getting one, but why are they so, cheap?

In comparison to other current 2wd kits they’re nearly half the price. Is this reflective of the quality of HB parts or is it just a launch price, as the RRP is nearly £300?

Any info appreciated

Default 216

Been out for over a year. Hardly anyone in uk has one? Guess its low price is to clear stock?

Just bought one. I know it has no lay down gearbox, the body doesn't really fit and it's not really the best looking car out there but I watched one do about five laps at Telford in practice and it looked really good so I decided to have a go with one. Nobody else I know has even seen one so I know it will stand out with it at my local club lol.

I run the d216 in the north west. I like the car and am planning on running it next year too. I would recommend the alloy chassis upgrade as it improved the car and steering in high grip

I thought it was a new release

Seems odd that its not popular, but for the price it seems good for a new kit. Might be tempted to run one indoors over winter and see what it’s like...

How much was the alloy chassis mate?
