Hot Bodies D413 1/10 4WD Buggy

[V6Jim]

Now looking like March/April and an indicated RRP of £370 - £400. Oh well, I don't think I can wait that long....

I spotted yesterday on Area52 some reports back from the 2014 Nuremburg toy fair. The HPI stand was proudly displaying Ty Tessmans actual D413 on the stand. Read into that as you will..

[traffman]

Agree with Jimmy , i cannot wait that long either. I'm sure its going to be good . But the cock up at HPI has certainly factored in my descision.

[V6Jim]

Pre -orders now active. RRP is set at £399, but expect deals at around £360. Should be in the shops by April.

Here we go....

Does anyone know if I can pre-order a shell for the D413 so I can get one painted ready for its arrival

Is the shipment still expected for the end of March / April?

I was told by my local shop that HPI had sent an email with all the marketing blurb, to confirm this.

Are the kits on a slow boat to the UK?

I was told by a team driver last weekend that they wouldn't be here for the first National,and it was looking more like the end of April. (take what you will from that as he said he should of had one back in September)

Its a shame its taken so long!

I was well up for buying 1 but just couldnt wait any longer for a new toy so I bought the bmax 4 III

Ive been very happy with the new car so I wont be parting with my cash for this car now.

[Muzzie]

Any update? It must be near by now

Looks like I’m going to miss the first round of the 4wd regional’s

[Ralls Racing]

i will have a definate date by aprox tuesday for you

[Ralls Racing]

well i did say tuesday lol the d413 has hit the uk with the distributor hpi europe so should be with shops in the next 48 hours if all goes to plan.

I hope I get the information soon from MB models to carry out the payment of my pre-order

[Muzzie]

Just paid for mine today, I brought it from MB models as there is limited numbers of kits available and HPI issue to shop -first come first serve. I think they had 6 kits allocated as they got an email from HPI as I was on the phone. Hopefully I should get mine on Friday.

[Fernandez]

Yeah, I hope to receive mine in the next few days. I preordered right away about 6 weeks ago

Here's some build tips from the guy who design the car.


http://www.rctech.net/forum/electric...buggy-104.html

Accouring to the user manual the kit comes with 10,000 and 100,000 weight diff oils, with a base set-up of F10/C100/R10. I was thinking going lighter in the rear, either 7000 or 5000, what do you think? I know the HB team have tried 15/100/3?

hello nathan, do you think that the shock shafts could be a weak point in a crash ?
