After being crowned the 2014-2015 IFMAR World Champ, HPI/Hot Bodies has decided to release a special edition D815 based on the actual car Ty Tessmann drove to win that race. Although Ty’s skill on the track gets most of the credit, having the right car is also a major advantage.
Other than some upgraded parts, the Tessmann Worlds Edition buggy features new caster blocks that have an extra inner hole as well as a new set of steering blocks.
Other features include an upgraded central drivetrain with CVD boots, lightweight diff gears, split center bulkhead, sintered brake pads with metal rotors, a new one-piece radio tray, carbon graphite rear hub carriers, aluminum servo arm and one-piece and lightweight wing mount.
