RE: Hong Nor X3 Sabre
I'm not exactly sure if there will be an electric version of the X3, but I do know Hong Nor has released an electric 1:8 buggy already.
Check out the Hong Nor Nexx8

Interestingly enough....checking the Hong Nor website out and there's nothing on the new X3 there.
All the info I've posted came to me via email from a UK based LHS.

RE: Hong Nor X3 Sabre
As of now I doubt they will release a X3 electric..Only the HongNor Nexx8 is out..
This is going to be the successor for the X1 & X2..I am sure there will be a lot of changes in development before its released in the open market..
