Here is the latest from Hot Bodies. (http://www.hbeurope.com/kit.php?partNo=61700&lang=en)

The Cyclone D4 was the surprise hit of 2007. When it was first announced, racers were unsure what to expect, however with the success of the Cyclone Touring Car, they knew the Cyclone D4 would be something special! At major off-road races around the world, it enjoyed great success and a swarm of spectators wherever it went, as racers were eager to see what this new electric 4WD buggy could do.

At the 2007 IFMAR Off-Road Worlds, several option parts were used by the HB team drivers, including the drivers who made it into the A Final - the fastest electric 4WD buggy drivers in the world! The wide range of options throughout the car each had incremental updates and modifications that made the Cyclone D4 easier to drive and faster on the demanding Japanese off-road circuit.

We are proud to announce the Cyclone D4 World Championship Edition Kit, which includes the base Cyclone D4 kit with all the options used by the team in Japan:

* New Main Chassis - optimized weight balance
* New Front & Rear Shock Towers - tougher and more crash-resistant
* New Front & Rear Shocks - more consistent and easier to build
* New Slipper Clutch design - easy to externally adjust slipper tightness
* New Front Arms for extra strength
* New Lower Wing Mounts for extra top speed

No it doesn't, the D4 is basically identical. Except it has purple turnbuckles instead of blue.

take a closer look, its not the same car as the B44. it is alot alike but did anyone notice the shocks are mounted in front of the towers and on a B44 they are behind the front towers. also go to both sites and compare the front and rear view's. they look nothing alike except the upper chassis deck. I think I like this car better because of the front geometry over the B44 cause it looks like that shock tower on the AE is too exposed for a hard impact front end crash. thats why in the write up rcca did on the B44 they said alot of drivers complained about the upper deck breaking toward's the front...I'm not bashing AE because they're my favorite company, I was just nervous about thae front shock tower's otherwise i'd own one... HBD4 here i come... just my 2cent's
