This is from AREA52



HoBao Racing just posted a photo of a nice 1/10 scale prototype buggy on their Facebook page. Having missed to visit the HoBao booth at this years Toyfair this little gem simply slipped through. By the looks of it the 4WD chassis heavily differs from other buggies of this class with its Formula 1-ish inline shock absorber layout. The battery is place on the left side of the chassis while the motor is in the back with the electronics place towards the front. The white parts indicate an early prototype stage and we really look forward to see the final buggy!
Hobao are also opening an office in germany at the end of february to better serve there customers in europe.

I spy some Telescopic UJ driveshafts. Old skool cool.

White is cool, hope it makes it to the finished version... I remember soaking my Traxxas parts in bleach to make them white again after a while... oh and dyeing some parts
