Default Hong Nor X3 Sabre

Pro Rolling Chassis starts at UK Sterling Pounds 399.99 with two other RTR options at 529.99 & 579.99 from the web site / dealer I received the email from. Will try and find better pics.

The below is a straight copy/past job from an email I received.




The design process starting from a clean sheet of paper.



Specification


· 100% New design.


· Classic Hong Nor quality, durability with competitive pricing.


· Improved weight distribution for greater stability on rough terrain and tricky multi jump sections.


· Lightweight precision steel drive train, hardened for long term durability.


· Rear chassis kick up for increased clearance and stability on high speed, on the limit landings.


· Proven and Improved industry leading 16mm big bore shocks with gold anodized precision adjustment collars.


· CNC machined gold anodized tension optimized chassis braces.


· Cab forward aero optimized high down-force body for greater stability and high speed precision.


· Side mounted brakes for easy tuning and easy out centre differential removal.


· CNC machined hard anodized CNC front and rear shock towers.


· New design CVD drive-shafts for more drive train efficiency and durability.


· Battery forward radio box design for greater on power steering.


· Lightweight CNC hard coated chassis


· New steering geometry, with multi Ackerman positions for every traction level.


· Heavy duty, durable suspension components


· CNC front and rear suspension mounts with kick up, toe in, and squat tuning with included inserts.

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.

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..
