Ordered flishrc cobra. Communication was great. Ordered larger batteries but they were the wrong size. Olly shipped the right batteries and gave a refund for the difference I paid. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks for the help with the order.

The seller knew I was after one and very kindly informed me when they came back into stock so now have a Flywing Bell 206. Fantastic bit of kit. Well worth the wait.

The E817 from HB Racing uses Race DNA from the World Champion D815 V2 to create a strong and fast 1/8 buggy for the quickly expanding electric classes. The design team at HB Racing took the proven D815 V2 platform and created the E817. It’s optimized for electric power and has all of the newest features and updates. Most of the tuning parts are compatible with our nitro buggies, so spare parts and options are race-proven and already available.
With back-to-back IFMAR 1/8 World Championship wins in 2014 and 2016, HB Racing is committed to making race cars that put you on the podium. Our team drivers, support staff and design team attend races around the world to help develop the cars. The payoff for our customers are cars that are fast, strong, easy to maintain, and loaded with the latest features. But in the end it’s all about race wins, and the E817 has already proven it’s a winner. A prototype E817 recently took the prestigious 2016 Euros title with David Ronnefalk at the wheel.
The E817 is designed with purpose. An impressive list of standard features is packed inside the E817 kit box. Fine tuned by our team drivers and staff so it can be easily built, tuned to a wide variety of track conditions, and quickly maintained between heats.

When using Shorty packs, multiple mounting points allow you to easily move the weight bias fore/aft to help tune the balance of the car. The batteries are held in place securely, and mounted directly on the chassis for the lowest CG possible.
