Hot Bodies D413

Hello all, its been awhile since i posted. figured i'd show you guys a few pics of my last build.

hot bodies D413 Buggy 4wd.

Love the quality and all the CF in this chassis. the buggy handles great and i love the fact you can change configurations on the layout for either dual battery ( saddle packs ) or one larger pack. just nice to have the variation. but in general this is a very well balanced buggy.

Found this on ebay for just over 250 dollars. where as everywhere else wanted about 400 i believe it was. and it was brand new. they just weren't selling any and had them sitting for awhile and only had 2 in stock. So naturally i jumped on it.

thats all the photos i have as of now. its finished its just its been a couple months since i built this thing so the photos are kinda old. if i find the rest i'll post em up.

So the motor i got is a SKY RC which is a pretty affordable ESC/motor kit. i paid about 60 bucks for it and its actually pretty good. its a sensored motor so you have the ability to tune and adjust the motors behavior with a little card that plugs into the esc. and it actually works i was impressed. its fun actually changing settings and having the motor respond differently.

@TRXaddict keep us posted on that SkyRC combo. I keep hearing mixed reviews on them, either love them or hate them.

That body looks fantastic man, nicely done indeed!

Thank you !! simple and clean how i like it. i love blue and orange i think those colors flow nicely together.

But yeah i have not had any problems with this thing at all. it operates as it should and has no malfunctions or defects. I suppose i could do a thread on that motor/esc specifically. but in general its fast. and the fact that i can tune the esc with that little orange board (in one of the pics where the tires were dirty) is a fun factor forsure. I honestly felt like for the price it wasn't something to expect much so my expectations were not very high so that could have played a part in it. but so far its a great buggy. i wish i drove it more. its just so low and where i live its too rocky and bumpy for this thing to hook up at all. the track is the only time i drive this.
