World Champion Quality in an RTR Package

The D8S combines everything you can want for top-level buggy racing into one convenient package – just add fuel and batteries and get on the track!

With the World Championship-winning heritage behind the HB D8 combined with the ready to run flexibility of HPI radio gear and the bulletproof Nitro Star F3.5 engine, you can easily get the best of both worlds as soon as you open the box. Race-proven by World Champions and backed by HPI, you can’t go wrong with the HPI D8S.

Because the D8S chassis and suspension parts are exactly the same as the HB D8, the D8S is ready to upgrade with Atsushi Hara Edition parts from HB!

All of the latest HPI kits are now fitted with the comfortable and feature-packed HPI TF-40 2.4GHz radio system for supreme control and confidence! The latest digital 2.4GHz radio technology allows you to confidently drive your HPI kit with other drivers without worrying about things like frequencies or radio conflicts. The radio features a pistol-grip design with drop-down steering wheel, 3 channel functionality, easy carry handle, fold-down aerial, end point adjustments, servo reversing and steering dual rate. It’s also extremely lightweight due to it requiring only four AA batteries. This is a fully-featured, lightweight, 3-channel radio with advanced ergonomic features and total adjustability.

Set the radio up for your car with custom features like servo reversing, centre trim, end point adjustments, dual rate and more. Only 4 AA batteries are required to power the TF-40, so it’s light in your hands, and the drop-down steering wheel makes it comfortable to hold. With the adjustable, built-in failsafe feature, you will even be protected just in case the radio batteries run out of power or become disconnected.
