Sometimes if not always, we are late to cover this new prototype Hobao Hyper 9 Buggy from Ofna. They are many sources available but as always again, we go check our rc partners. If not enough, we go to the magazine we subscribe. Yes, it is none other than RC Car Action Mag. So Hobao Hyper 9 Buggy information are mostly from them if not all. Thanks to George Gonzalez of RCCA.
Of course on the other person to thank is Tim Bump, the head at the Hyper Racing division at OFNA. Together with the Hobao engineers, they are thinking of the first buggy that really come out entirely from OFNA own design. They are thinking big. They are thinking the buggy meant for the IFMAR 1/8-Scale Off-Road World Championships.
The design very interesting if we have to say here. It is innovative, unique and totally radical. The buggy is like being held tightly in the corsets or something similar. Even with everything installed, it still look narrow. That’s buggy on diet. Hahaha.

Here a snapshot of the Live News of the Neo 2008 Race. Seeing it live just by refreshing the page is not so much fun as watching it in person from the track itself but nevertheless, you can really feel it just by watching the time they made. Adam Drake is the man here. From the beginning, never once it showed that he was behind or something. He is always in front right up to the last minute. In fact only Mike Truhe managed to keep up with him. The rest are either 1 lap behind or more.
Result live from RCNews.Net. We are not sure whether there will be another final of this Buggy class. For now, this is the standing. Adam Drake is the man. Losi 8ight is the ride. Well done. The Drake is in control! If this is end of it, meaning all top three are from USA and Taylor James is on the 3rd spot.

We just found out about this Xray XT8 Truggy 2008 spec. We thought something new but nothing at all. There is no such thing as 2008 new specification for the Xray XT8 Truggy. Here from the most reliable source for us - Xray own website.
Due to their successful outing on many international races and being consistent on the top of podium, they just decided for 2008 specs remain unchange and just copy whatever 2007 winning specs has already. Now that’s what we call efficient and smart. Hahaha.
Dipl. Eng. Juraj Hudy, chief designer of XRAY:
“The XT8 has been extremely successful since its release, and the long development time has paid off as the car has been proven to be ‘bulletproof’ and its performance has been at the very highest level. We have followed all reports, feedback and exeriences very closely, not only from team drivers but also from our customers around the world… and as such I am happy to confirm that there are no immediate plans to alter the XT8 and it will remain with the same specifications for the 2008 season. I hope everybody enjoys the XT8 and I wish everybody great success in the 2008 racing season.”
