Check this out. The new Jammin / HongNor X2 Racing Truggy! Don’t they just look awesome! I wish my original HongNor X1CRT look like this. A definite must buy for me.
Specification noted as below:
- Different Diff mount
- Longer chassis - everything pushed forward
- New fuel tank - more towards the center
- New radio tray - shorter and lowered
- Small spur
- Shock towers and wing mount look different
- Big bores - of course
- Trimmed chassis
- Neat side guards
- Seems the engine placement more inward to the center
- Plastic chassis braces (seems to be the chosen flex setup this lately)
Please visit our source: RC Modz Forum for more info.

Ryan Cavalieri once again captured the best of the best in the Supercross RCX 2008 event. he did last year at RCX 2007. Here the interview video courtesy of AirAgeMedia1 again.
Here the best quote of the day - Ryan Style! Haha!
“Just a rock. $500 dollar rock … “
Just for the kick, We are sure Ryan no need the legal steroids to get on the top of the podium. He seems to be able to achieve it like walking at the park. Every time at near 90% of the races he join. Just plain awesome record.

- 17mm hub
- Heavy duty
- Light weight
- 4 different colors - white, yellow, black and orange
- 3.7 diameter
- Half-offset
To match with this, we also found out that OFNA have the appropriate LPR Truggy Foam Inserts for them.

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.”

We love covering rc truggy news and thanks to our rc news partner, Buggy-Sport.Info we have this scoop from them. The main guy here is of course Frank Lemke who had twice won the German Monstertour with his Sirio CL7B powered Kyosho ST-RR truggy. Talking about domination, yes this guy is awesome. One cannot simply ignored his neon yellow Kyosho ST-RR Truggy. Congrats there Frank Lemke.

Yes and I am not kidding when we said HongNor / Jammin X1CR terrorized the recent Puerto Rico Offroad final championship. Imagine 6 out of 10 are HongNors racers in Buggy class while in the truggy class nearly all HongNors racers with the exception of one Losi and Mugen racers. Now this is what I call The Land Of The HongNors!
But of course, Juan Torres was the ‘Man of The Match’ as they call it in the Football. He not only won first in the Buggy, he also captured the top trophy in the truggy class. Just plain awesome Torres!
The Puerto Rico Offroad Association (PROFA) has finished it’s annual points championship. With all championships comming down to the final race it was a very intense race. With over 325 racers the annual point series was a success.
There were 6 HongNor/Jammin X1CR cars in the A main final and 8 X1-CRT cars in the truggy final. Juan Torres driving a X1-CR won the First position of 1/8 buggy class and with the X1-CRT he also won the first of truggy class.
1/8 Buggy
1) Juan Torres (Hong Nor/Jammin X1-CR)
2) Eliud Hernandez Jr. (AE RC8)
3) Omar “Verdugo” Cabrera (Kyosho MP777 WC)
4) Cristian Carattini (Kyosho MP777 WC)
5) Tony Feliciano (Hong Nor/Jammin X1-CR)
6) Orlando Quiñonez (Hong Nor/Jammin X1-CR)
7) Cristian Castro (Hong Nor/Jammin X1-CR)
Angel Martinez (Hong Nor/Jammin X1-CR)
9) Gerardo Marin (Losi 8ight)
10) Juan J. Villafañe (Hong Nor/Jammin X1-CR)
Truggy
1) Juan Torres (Hong Nor/Jammin X1-CRT)
2) Javier “Guli”Casillas (Losi 8ight T)
3) Jaime E. Negrón (Hong Nor/Jammin X1-CRT)
4) Rafael Oropeza (Mugen MBX5T)
5) Cristian Castro (Hong Nor/Jammin X1-CRT)
6) Eliud Hernandez Sr. (Hong Nor/Jammin X1-CRT)
7) Gerardo Marin (Hong Nor/Jammin X1-CRT)
Hiram Guzman (Hong Nor/Jammin X1-CRT)

Great news for all Jammin / Hong Nor Products especially on the development of the CRT, The truggy and of course to Taylor James for his great driving too.
Thanks to Taylor James, the Jammin CRT now owns five National Championships (2 ROAR & 3 R/C Pro) of the six available since this revolutionary truggy hit the market. Taylor contributed to this impressive record this past weekend by winning the the R/C Pro Expert Arena Truck title in Texas. Taylor only competed in two of the three series races so he had to win the finals to take home the R/C Pro National Championship. This win gives him back to back R/C Pro titles as he was the defending champ.
Congratulations Taylor!!!

As always, another great report coming from our friend, Gene “The Machine” Hickerson. Enjoy his report but sadly, he did not join the 1/8 Truck aka RC Truggy class for he surely has the chance of going hat-trick on the championship points. However knowing Gene as humble person, we think he made the right decision to let others get the hands on the truggy class he won for consecutive 2 years in a row. Good for you Gene

Gene “The Machine” Hickerson report on the final of 2007 RC Pro East Series that was held at Phil Hurd Raceway.
The 3rd and final round of the 2007 RC Pro East Series was held last weekend in Savannah Georgia at Phil Hurd Raceway. It was a good turnout of about 140 entries as the best of the East battle for the title of RC Pro East Champion. The track was a good combination of fast sections and really slow sections with tons of small double jumps and 1 huge double jump in the middle. There was no place to make up any time on the layout, but many places where you could easily loose time; so the racing was very close as everyone had about the same lap times.
1/8 Expert Arena Truck qualifying:
Going into this final round, the battle was between Xray’s Leon McIntosh and myself as we both had a win in a previous round. In round 1, I put my CEN Matrix Tr Arena on the pole, while McIntosh took 2nd. In round 2, McIntosh put his XB8T on the pole. In round 3, Xray’s Chris Crews took the TQ. In round 4, the overall TQ was still up for grabs, but it was Jammin’s Brandon Cutchins CRT that won the round. That gave Leon the TQ, followed by Brandon and myself in 3rd. The 5 bonus points for TQ gave Leon the edge going into the A-main.
1/8 Arena Truck A-main:
The A-main was a grueling 45 minutes. Bad luck struck right from the start as McIntosh had his engine come loose and missed the start and had to start 1 lap back. At the start, I passed for the lead but then was hit from behind half way through the 1st lap, giving Crews the lead. I worked my way back through the pack into 2nd and set sites on the leader. All I had to do to guarantee the Championship was to finish ahead of Leon, so I took it easy.
At about the 12 minute mark, my brakes went out right as I caught Crews. On my 2nd pit stop, I adjusted the brakes on my Futaba radio but I still had no brakes. As I started to drop back, Cutchins and OCM’s Alan Burton got by for 2nd and 3rd. Then my steering started to get slow. I then realized that it was my receiver pack that was dying. I yelled to my pit man to get another RX pack ready for my next stop. Soon after, my battery was almost dead and I had to pit early to change it. I rejoined the race 4 laps down and in 8th place. Meanwhile Chris Crews had stretched out a big lead and McIntosh was in 5th and moving up. As the hard packed track started to claim its victims, Leon and I continued to move up. Near the end, McIntosh moved into 3rd place while I was up to 4th place 1 lap back. That was how we finished with Crews taking the win and Cutchins taking 2nd. I thought I had lost the Championship by 1 spot since Leon had a 1st and a 3rd, and I had a 1st, 4th, and a 5th. But after the points were tallied up including bonus points for most laps lead, I was the Champion by only 1 point over McIntosh. Crews finished 3rd overall.
RC Pro East 1/8 Expert Arena Truck Final Standings:
1. Gene Hickerson CEN/Maxy’s
2. Leon McIntosh Xray/Werks
3. Chris Crews Xray/Rocket Science
1/8 Expert Buggy qualifying:
In Buggy, it was a battle between Leon McIntosh and myself again. McIntosh had a 1st and a 2nd, while I had a 1st and a 7th. In round 1, Kyosho’s Robin Nelson took the TQ. In round 2, Chris Crews took the TQ. In round 3 and 4, it was Team Associated’s JR Mitch who put his new RC8 into the TQ and overall TQ position. McIntosh had bad luck and was 1st in the B-main. I had not much better luck, qualifying 10th in the A-main, but my buggy was good and ready for the main event. In the B-main, Leon was way in the lead when his engine flamed out, ending his day. He would have to watch the A-main from the sidelines to see if I over took him in the points chase.
1/8 Expert Buggy A-main:
In the 45 minute A-main, Mitch got a clean start and started to pull away. I worked my way up to 4th place very quickly as there was a lot of hacking going on in the pack. Just as quick as I moved up, I was taken out 3 times and dropped back to dead last in 12th place. Soon after, Mitch came up on me and lapped me. By now, the field was spread out some and I was able to get by slower traffic without being taken out much easier. As I worked my way back through the pack, Mitch flamed out and lost his huge lead. He later dropped out with a mechanical problem to end his day. That gave the lead to Robin Nelson. On lap 56, I moved into 3rd and started to run down the leaders. On lap 61, local Patrick Rossiter took over the lead from Nelson. With less then 5 minutes to go, I caught Nelson and was just 16 seconds behind Rossiter. I was going to take my time as I tried to pass Nelson because all I needed to do to win the Championship was finish 2nd. But just then, the high winds caught my buggy over the huge double jump and when it landed, it snapped rolled and broke a steering screw off in the knuckle.
That ended my day and my chance at the title. Chris Crews moved to 3rd and that was how they finished. That gave McIntosh the overall Championship, followed by Nelson, and myself.
RC Pro East 1/8 Expert Buggy Final Standings:
1. Leon McIntosh Xray/Werks
2. Robin Nelson Kyosho/Sidewinder
3. Gene Hickerson CEN/Maxy’s

Proline own Team drivers Scott Hughes and Mark Pavidis champions their classes at the recent Southern California Saturday Series round 3. Interestingly for us this 2 faces look familiar when they took picture side by side, or in this case, cropped to be together. Remember the world Final? Well never mind that, it is more interesting to see Scott win his truggy class with his new radio team, Futaba after Scott recent move from KO Propo. Do you think he made the right decision? I think the win answer the question.
Congrats to Scott and of course to Mark Pavidis too on his buggy class.

We have been waiting for this truggy specific servo, the new KO PROPO PDS 2386 and it finally is out for us truggy craze fan. Thanks to KO Propo, we will definitely order this in the new future.
With 240 OZ/IN of torque, this servo can even pull our 3 years old child out under the blanket. I probably kidding there but that is the fact. With full metal gears throughout, built in heat sink, new motor and bushing collared upper case, there is no wonder why this servo survived the torture in the last year 1/8 Worlds. Just great. We definitely got to have this in our own possession.
