Jammin New engines… yes they got both. the .21 and .28 size engine. Jammin Jay himself did the R&D on these engines and paid special attention to the details that are so important for off-road R/C racing. Such as durability, ease of tuning, and driveabilty. Tweaks to the materials, crank timing, and tolerances all played a part in getting the engine to the high performance edge that Jammin Jay requires. Both engines deliver excellent bottom end power with great top end run out. Both include Turbo Plug type heads. While the .21 is tuned for the buggies, testing proved it to be more than capable in the truggy class. The .28 is all out big block performance but still very easy to drive and gets surprisingly good fuel mileage. Turbo Glow plug included. Made in Italy

This is a basic overview of the Savage X. This will show you whats new on the truck and how the truck come’s apart. The truck was a little dirty but it shouldnt hurt too much.
It’s Motocross event with RC Race event too. Its a first in history! This is so cool. US visitors may have known Motoroma; its an annual event held at the Ama Arena in Harrisburg, PA USA. It will be on 16th to 18th Feb 2007 and supported by some of the top US names in 1/8 Off road. Great info from neobuggy.net

Looking at it’s soaring popularity, i would like to take this opportunity to put up some reviews of this marvelous engine by our drivers in malaysia. Just a short introduction:
The B3 is an excellent choice for the smaller and medium size circuits where torque is important. Priced affordable, it’s for the racer wanting the most “bang or the buck”
The first real Monster Truck Race in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Its been a long time. How 2 years disappear along with the racer themselves. This is, i mean this was the main Monster Truck Racers. We have enough to rock the world! How sadly he disappear as quick as the HPI Savage that time. SAD SAD STORY!!!

Denny Boy is the real deal. He conquers most of the round, IF NOT ALL!!!. He at first used the old GS SUT and already won so many rounds. With the new improved XUT, he practically stormed other truggies there!!! Denny, you the man!!!
Now Check this out. Is this Jammin? Is this the new PIKTOR Rush 2? A friend of mine, Ah Kim aka arghh(rctech) took his non-productive time and create the most creative one of a kind Jammin /Hong Nor Rush2 buggy. He named his creation, THE X1 R2!!!. Check all the pictures in action on his recent race.

Asked by
Liam Galvin: Running it next year instead of the Crono then?
Answered by:
Here’s some review of Werks Offroad Tires which we had been testing out these few months. These tires comes with 2 types of compounds which is R200 for soft and R300 for medium. Me and my other drivers just fell in love with them first hand because of it’s traction and forward bites. To me, it’s comparable to those top tires brand around if not better as I’ve tried few of them before this.
At last, another of my favourite review. A personal racer review and non-subsidized one. I started racing truggy because of GS Racing SUT and it is really suitable that i provide you all with the latest review on XUT from GS Racing. Marty Korn sure loves to hear this. Here from a friend, Spencer.

UPDATED WITH ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO FROM LKH!
Just get this link from LKH(rctech). OCM really flies above and beyond the massive 3 jumps at HPC Track. How cool to see this. I thought only Charlee(Thailand) can do this. Awesome. Just awesome. And i was told LKH did it like 100 times during the qualifying and finals… until something broke. Now, thats what full testing is all about!
Links here…
kekekeke. Yes, i do this. I start my truggy. tune it right. idling, take out my mp3 player, put earpiece…let the sandman get into me.. and boom, full trigger… bashing time! Man, i tell you the adrenalin! Just love this Enter the Sandman by Metallica!
To those who does not have the privilege to view the forum at neobuggy.net, here’s the problem to why David had such a low result. Its not because of the Team Magic M1B Buggy and obviously not because of his driving. Duhhh.
Pictures and interview done by oople.com next…

Result in text form:
Thanks to redrc.net, this is totally interesting news. and quite a cool sight to see the flash interactive movie. My first impression when i saw the short tower, i knew its gonna be a problem on rough, bumpy track. BUT I WAS WRONG!.It handles just as normal conventional style shock setup.
The flash not working here in wordpress blog(or probably i dont know the coding yet aHa! ) but i give u the snip.
Ok here it is, the updates after Round 4. Drake leads in Buggy and Truggy class.
You noticed the RX title.. thats for “Rally Cross” class aka Buggy for us all. Hehehee.

And even compares to other buggy.. of which i cant mention here now… until this 10pm(local Malaysian time).

The HPI Savage Throttle Ofna mod by Horatio(rctech) quoted here:
The OFNA throttle mod is the Savage equivelent to a 1/8th buggy throttle linkage. Of course you don’t need seperate front/rear brake linkages on the Savage (the Savage has only a central brake and no centre diff), but you can enjoy all the other benefits of a greater adjustibility, better mechanical advantage and a stiffer servo horn/control arm, thus creating a more responsive throttle action and stronger, posititive brakes.
To see picture … and mid tank / throttle mod
This body is so cool. Especially with that paint theme. it comes in clear polycarbonate, standard & heavy duty thickness and everything. Protective film, window masks & decals!
The Illuzion - Mugen MBX5R was designed for Mugen MBX5R Prospec 1/8th buggy. The Illuzion body comes complete and is available in either standard or heavy duty polycarbonate. The Illuzion features enhanced hard edge side pod styling with runner flow channels on the sides designed to move the air more efficiently to the wing. The roof of the body has been dramatically wedged and Illuzionized for that aggressive look. While the front of the body has less of a transition from hood to window which gives it a more dramatic look.
