Hot Bodies release the Lightning 2 Pro Evo

HB Lightning 2 Pro Evo

Quite a while back we wrote about the fact that that Hot Bodies were upgrading their Lightning 2 Pro 1/8th scale buggy and that team racers Andy Moore and Marc Rheinard were racing these prototype buggies at the Neo Invitational indoor event. Well we present you with the Lightning 2 Pro Evo, which is a natural development on the previous version with changes including new stiffer chassis plate, different shock towers for more tuning possibilities and a lot of other parts made more durable like bearing blocks and parts of the drive train.

Hot Bodies Officially announce the Cyclone D4

Hot Bodies Cyclone D4

We may have only just brought you a selection of images of the new Cyclone D4 EP buggy from Hot Bodies but they have just put up the full information on their website along with even more pictures.

4WD electric buggy racing has always been a racing class that is seen as the off-road class for the elite, a tough-to-crack category of off-road racing which is difficult to master and features the fastest, best-handling off-road machines available! Hot Bodies is aiming to jump feet-first into this category with a top-level, championship-quality kit that anyone will be able to use.

German manufacturer Shepherd are present at the toy fair and are showing off their new Velox 07 1/8th scale 4wd chassis (click image for bigger pic).

This will be the first results of Shepherds hook up with Robert Pietsch that we announced 2 weeks ago.

UPDATE: Patrick SchÃ¤fer from Shepherd has been in touch and put us right on the whats new on the car, which is basically everything. Hit more to read the full list of changes… content

Motonica P8.0 Base

Yesterday we showed you a preview of the new cars from Motonica which included the R version of the original P8.0 as well as a Classic class pan car. Well now we get a closer look at the P8.0 base, which i couldnt figure out yesterday, and apparently this car is a cheaper starter car based on the original P8.0 4wd car. Although this car is also 4wd from the pictures it appears to have no suspension and no radio plate and must qualify as one of the strangest concepts for a car that i’ve seen in a while.
