HB continues they’re 1/8th scale racing tradition with a brand new buggy, the HB D8! The D8 platform was designed entirely in the USA from the ground up with rigorous competition in mind.

If you’re a serious racer with plans to be in the winner’s circle you’ll want to grab yourself a D8, because once they hit the track, you’ll need one to get there.

HPI Savage X owners can now upgrade their truck with this Savage XL Chassis Conversion Set. This set includes 55mm longer TVP chassis plates that give the truck extra stability over rough terrain. The extended chassis plates are 3.0mm, thicker than the stock 2.5mm plates so they’re stiffer and tougher… perfect for extreme driving. The chassis plates have Savage XL logos etched into the chassis to really make them stand out! Also included is a 3mm thick engine mounting plate and an extended rear drive shaft. This is a factory engineered conversion set that is made to fit perfectly for quick and easy installation on any Savage X truck.

We recommend using the Savage XL body for the best fit, but some of the larger truck bodies can also be used.

Note: Original Savage trucks (pre-Savage X) will also need 1 package of #86709 Engine Mount Brace 7×7x74mm (2pcs) for the conversion.
