RE: Noob 1/8 truggy hunting.(kyosho?)
That's a bit of an older design they have put a fresh face on is all.. Still, Hong Nor always had a rep for making tough RC's.. I personally would feel more confident buying it than the Kyosho.
The .32 engine is kind of dumb, but hey, maybe it'll be alright.. (Truggies don't need huge engines, they need decent torque and more the revs that smaller engines produce..) It also has 1/2 offset rims, which isn't great, as 0 offset seems to have become the truggy standard among all the producers..
Go to facebook and search for Hong Nor.. I'm sure the question as to when it will be released will be addressed...
