Team Corally SBX-825 1:8 Competition eBuggy

Belgium company Team Corally, once known for their competition level onroad kits, has just released a new competition spec 1:8 eBuggy called the SBX-825. Designed in Belgium, they say the SBX-825 represents the pinnacle of European engineering and innovation. Tested rigorously by French racer Thomas Musso, the SBX-825 claims to offer the first time ever the option to choose between two chassis options: the revolutionary molded carbon chassis, the first of its kind on the market, or the durable and proven standard aluminium chassis. Both options are tailored to meet the needs of elite racers. The carbon fiber option is a first in 1:8 scale racing, featuring angled kickups in the front and sides for improved aerodynamics and precision handling. Lightweight yet incredibly rigid, it excels on technical tracks where agility and responsiveness are key. Another feature of the SBX-825 is the robust Flex Bracing System designed for both stability and adaptability. It includes two sturdy aluminium braces at the front and rear, providing a solid foundation for precise handling and durability. Additionally, extra carbon fibre flat chassis braces enhance overall rigidity, ensuring the buggy maintains structural integrity on demanding tracks. For racers seeking increased flexibility, the system allows easy adjustment by simply removing specific screws, enabling greater chassis flex to suit different racing conditions and driving styles.
