The New Xray ( Called NEW XB8 Will be released) will be like the car of Savoya (Savoya are using the prototipe):


And the new SOAR 988 will be like the same (Released on Marth):



The old SOAR S44 have a steering block like the Mugen MBX7. They are testing one prototipe on the Euros last year and now they made some adjustments and itīs one of them.

I think itīs normal on RC world, just because brands test your products on big events to see if itīs works better.

Losi are the fist brand to make a buggy putting the engine more to the center of the car, and reduces width of the chassis. This make other brand to build your products, using the same concept.

Great engineer like Hudy, got the idea and make it happend. Itīs great for RC brands to grow and inovates.

Is it just me or does this buggy look near identical to the s_workz?

Depends if they find a distributor/retailers.

A Main Hobbies probably won't want SOAR because they're trying build/push SWorkz..and Hobbico doesn't care about one-vehicle brands. HRP? Doubt it.

Hard to say, but it looks like a nice buggy.
