Agama N1 1:8 Buggy

Nemo Racing has just published a full presentation of their new Agama N1 which has gone on pre-order. The British brand has shown the pre production N1 before with Lee Martin racing it a number of international events including the World Championship but has now launched full details of the new 1:8 buggy platform. Introducing the N1 which features an unconventional suspension set-up, Nemo Racing say, ‘After years of development our revolutionary design concept is finally realised with the production N1. Its unique suspension creates an incredibly low COG (Centre of Gravity) race car, while our engineering teams years of experience has pushed us to ensure that not only is it fast, but it’s the easiest car to work on in its class. Lower COG makes the N1 more consistent to drive while being able to hold higher corner speeds than your average 1/8th buggy. Its not just in the corners where the N1 excels, through bumps it stays very flat with less tendency to want to flip over and in the air the N1 flies very low and stable as its unique clean aerodynamics have a tremendous effect, working the rear wing to maximum efficiency’
