New car
Thanks Vino for getting the thread started,Danny you are correct we did not desighn this car and we have never claimed too.
We are partners with the factory in the same fashion as Ofna is with Hong Nor and Hobao.This gives us the ability to give some input on what we want the car to have for the Us Market.
We can also help with changes that will suit the car better if need be for Us tracks.The factory did a great job with this car and I am sure the more people that will try it will love it.
Our goal is to give is to give the racer a ROLLS ROYCE at a working mans price.
Thank You

I just threw that out there to clear up some of the rumors going around that this was an all new design... But you and me both know that rumors will be a part of life forever, lol! I'm just glad to finally see someone bringing it here to the states! Radical tried and failed, and I don't know the whole story behind it, but they failed miserably... I heard it was just poor management, thatll do it every time, haha!
Good luck with it man, I look forward to seeing more of these around! It really is a great buggy! Now all you need to do is work with them on a truggy! :0

I believe a Truggy is in the works...
Like Chris5759, I got mine a week ago and got her put together real quick! I was amazed at the quality of the car! My previous Buggy was an Xray so I grew used to amazing parts quality and what not but the SX8 was on par if not better then Xray! I just wish a track was open to go and run, I have 4 tracks within 1.5 hours of my house and none are finished yet!
Either way I cannot wait to hit the track!
