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.

1up Racing B7 Upgrade Parts

American RC accessories brand 1up Racing has introduced an all-new line of upgrade parts for the B7 1:10 Buggy from Team Associated.  The LowPro Battery Mounts, LowPro Servo Mount, and Lockdown Motor Mount are each made from high-strength 7075 aluminium and finished in black anodising.  Mirror chamfers and CNC-engraved 1up logo complete the look of the parts.  The mounts feature a simple tool-free swivel mechanism to hold your battery in place.  Both LCG post for 20mm tall batteries and Standard post for 25mm post height options are available to fit all popular battery types.  The offset holes on the bracket allow you to fine tune the fore & aft battery position.  The unique 1-piece LowPro Servo Mount design wraps low around the back instead of covering it up on top, allowing you to proudly show off your favourite servo and actively lower your centre of gravity.  The Lockdown Motor Mount isn’t just about looks – instead of using only two screws on a long mounting arm prone to bending, the Lockdown Motor Mount utilises a third screw and includes a Pro Duty Titanium Lockdown Screw for the top of the motor along with a reinforcement bar to ensure it stays true.  Even with the added security, the Lockdown mount still comes in lighter than the stock motor mount at only 8.14 grams, thanks to strategically placed weight-saving cutouts.
