New 1/8th Picco Off-road Buggy is in Stores!
Italian Power!
OFNA and Picco have teamed up again to create the 1/8th PICCO OFF-ROAD Buggy. The PICCO OFF-ROAD has unmistakable style, value and performance all wrapped up into one limited edition package.
A white on black theme carries on throughout the entire MBX Chassis. Black anodized aluminum contrasts with a white high down force rear wing, white dish wheels and white springs on the 16mm super big bore shocks. A special black cooling head resides on top of a 3-port Picco BAS engine completing the sinister look. You only find this kind of versatility, style and performance when industry powerhouses like OFNA and Picco get together on a project of this magnitude.
Hyper 8.5 Hobao factory driver Graham Alsop took TQ and the win at the prestigious Apex GP at Slough.
Graham had a hard battle for pole position with RC8 driver Elliott Boots, but it was the Hyper 8.5 who came out on top to take the qualifying honors.
By taking TQ Graham avoided the lottery of a semi final and this was what accounted for Elliott and meant the young man from Kent was unable to take his place in the main final. Elliott was unlucky as a receiver lead pulled out and ended his challenge.
The main final saw Graham drive fast and controlled, using his power package to stretch out the fuel stops to 10 minutes which gives a big advantage at Slough due to the very slow pit lane. Graham went on to win unchallenged from David Crompton and Jon Hazelwood.
OFNA announces New foam insert profiles to fit ProLine tires
OFNA just added 4 new foam insert profiles to fit ProLine tires. These Molded Inserts are direct replacements for stock inserts found in PL and many other popular tires. Molded inserts change the relationship between the tire and track surface by increased traction and reduced side wall flex.
To top it off these molded Inserts will not deteriorate like regular foam donuts and are reusable.

New Jammin Red Shoes and Clutch Springs
Keeping up with the trend of less weight within the drive train and less overall weight of the newest racing buggies and truggies, Jammin Products felt it necessary to develop a clutch that would match these power to weight characteristics. The new Jammin Red Clutch shoes are lightened to increase throttle response and are machined from a special aluminum alloy to promote long wear. The edges are beveled to reduce the mushrooming effect and the clutch shoe set includes 1.0mm springs, 1.1mm springs, and shims. OFNA Part #40926 Retail = $29.95
