Hot Bodies is now taking dealer orders for their newest 1/8th scale buggy, the Hot Bodies D8!

Designed entirely in the USA from the ground up the Hot Bodies D8 is claiming it will not only be the fastest car on the track, but the most forgiving as well, capable of excelling in the hands of both novice and factory drivers. The newly designed chassis and suspension allows you to handle off-road tracks with ease. The 16mm big bore shocks is the largest in its class allowing the Hot Bodies D8 to recover from even the roughest landings.

Hot Bodies has also equipped the D8 with the largest sized wheels allowed under ROAR rules, allowing you to get the most traction possible while leaving everyone else in the dust.
