Hong Nor X5B 1:8 Nitro Buggy Body Shell

Following the recent release of official images of their new 2025 X5B 1:8 Nitro Buggy, Hong Nor has published images of a painted kit body.  The body will come with two nose cone styles which can be switched to suit track conditions.  With the launch of the new X5B coinciding with the Hong Nor’s 35th anniversary, the Taiwanese company sent an X5B kit to Chad Bradley to test build.  Taking an X1-CR to fourth position at the 2006 IFMAR 1:8 World Championships in Indonesia, the American was very complimentary of the new kit and its bodyshell.
