From NeoBuggy

Back at the Nuremberg toy fair, long time 1/8th scale outfit Hong Nor pulled the covers off their (rather long overdue) prototype buggy, 7 months later and hearing... not very much more the following photos dropped into our inbox today! The car belongs to all round RC Racing legend Jamie Booth who is (on tour) in France with many other Brits this weekend at Jerome Sartel's annual get together, the Noeux les Mines GP

I doubt it, seeing as the X1 is already an old model.

Erm how exactly, is the fact that it's a 1/8th buggy, they all look similar

Cant see the heavily offset centre drive shafts, centrally mounted engine etc anywhere on the Hong Nor,the front arms look the same but thats about it.

the complete front and rear end look like they have been taken off a losi 8ight (to me anyway)
