 The New X1CR Factory Team wins again 20 Feb 2006

During the 15 minute A main a ding dong battle developed between the Xray of Jon Hazlewood and the X1CR pro UK factory team car of Jamie Booth, the lead swapped several times but ultimately the X1CR FT was the better handling car and in the end took a convincing win from the other pro factory drivers.

 Unbeatable Indoors! 05 January 2006
The fourth year in a row, Adam Drake and his Jammin Products 1/8th buggy take top honors at the Columbus R/C Racing Club's big annual indoor Nitro Championships. <br>
Adam was the favorite due to his current win streak and being the defending champ of this event. It was his race to loose.

More of the same in the "A" Main Final as Adam takes the championship again.


 Adam Drake Steps It Up 30 December 2006
Ending the 05' season and starting the 06' season with wins is one reason why word at the tracks of So Cal. is that "Adam is on his game". Taking the TQ & win in the 1/8th buggy class at the first annual Toys for Tots race at Hobbytown Raceway in Palm Desert, Ca. in early Dec. 05 started this roll. He has continued his winning at The Dirt warming up for the big Nitro Challenge and two days later he takes another win in the Best of the West Series in Crystal Park, Ca.

 One of the Worlds Best Signs with Jammin Racing Team 10 December 2006
Chad Bradley has been in pursuit for the World Championship title since he started racing R/C cars in the early 90's. Within the last two W.C. finals, Chad has come very close to the title. He is confident that this move to the Jammin Team will put him in that top position. He's one of the very few racers in recent history to capture a national championship as a privateer. Chad is very approachable and enjoys helping other racers with car set-up and we are proud to have him on the team. Chad brings his associate sponsors with him - Proline, Airtronics, O.S. Engine, Acer Bearing, The Dirt, Race Prep Hobbies, and H.T. Batteries. Chad will be driving the Jammin X1-CR Buggy and the Jammin X1-CRT Truck.

 Jammin X1CRT Beats The Best At Maxbashing 05 October 2005
The new OFNA/Jammin X1CRT Truggy stormed to victory at the final round of the Maxbashing championship held near Guilford in southern England. The Maxbashing Race Track lives up to its name, being very tough on cars, but huge fun to drive with its aptly called “Mountain” Jump. In its first appearance at a UK track, the Jammin X1CRT took the TQ spot for the A main event driven by HN racing driver Jamie Booth. The 20 minute A main final saw the X1CRT take a comfortable victory by some 4 laps over the nearest competitor.

The X1CRT was fitted with OFNA brick pin tires and ran an OS .21 V spec engine fitted with the race proven PCR 2027 EFRA tuned exhaust system. The truggy was used straight out of the box with no modifications and during the heavy, competitive racing no damage or breakages occurred. There is no tougher test of a machine in the UK than the Maxbashing track, and the Jammin X1CRT passed with quite literally ‘flying’ colors.


 OFNA Shifts Team Focus For The Future 14 September 2005
"OFNA has made some changes to the OFNA Professional Team and our focus on the Racing World.
Greg Dagani will now run under the newly created Hobao International Racing Team, which will include many top racers from around the world, and will compete in many top International Races such as the Worlds.
OFNA will still maintain a Race Team in the United States. The U.S. Team will concentrate solely on the domestic U.S. market, travelling to places where true grassroots racing still takes place, bringing it back to the people who made us who we are."
Dave G Morales - OFNA Owner

 X1CR jams the radar at the XRay Off Road Championships! 23 May 2005
Another European Win during the third round of the Radio Race Car (UK magazine) Xray 1/8th off road championship held at Aldridge near Birmingham in England. There were around 100 drivers taking part in the third round of this popular series. Qualifying took place in mixed conditions as there were many rain showers during the day causing the grass track to become greasy and very tricky. Jamie Booth driving the X1CR pro UK was the class of the field in the 2nd and 3rd rounds of qualifying winning both rounds quite comfortably and showing that the X1CR would be tough to beat in the A main event. The X1CR was handling the tricky conditions without any difficulty. In the early stages of the A Main event there was a very close battle between Ryan Donovan (Xray factory driver) and Jamie Booth (HN racing X1CR driver) but over the course of the final the O.S. powered HN racing X1CR PRO UK overhauled the RB powered Xray of Ryan to take a comfortable victory at the end.
The winning car featured the latest PCR Efra 2027 exhaust system (#19788 or #19789), O.S. RZ-B V spec engine and Sanwa radio equipment. The X1CR was box standard apart from X1S-19 SPL arm shafts!!


 Hyper Does It Again! 15 May 2005
The Hyper 7 Pro is legendary on the track, known for it's speed and durability. In European circuits the Hyper 7 Pro is taking the scene by storm.
We are pleased to report that Speedworld Spanish driver Robert Batlle won the Pre-European Championship, which was held this year in Reims, France. Robert Batlle's vehicle of choice was naturally the Hyper 7 Pro (PCR US version), and with it he successfully battled his way to the top.
Good show, Robert!


 OFNA Stays On Top Down Under! 1 May 2005
With so many huge wins here in the States you knew we would take our skills abroad and start mopping up the competition.
The Top Gun Race at the Penrith Track in Sydney Australia was the scene for one of our hottest wins yet. The OFNA/Hongnor team consisting of Joseph Patane(manager/mechanic) ,Phillip Woodbury(driver), Mat Russel(driver), Johnathon Frued(driver) and David Patane(refueler), scored some impressive wins with the OFNA CD3. Phil Woodbury TQ'ed with a 18.6 sec lap but bettered that time with a 17.6 sec lap, and went on to win with an AMAZING 56 LAPS OVER THE NEAREST COMPETITOR!! Oh, and did we mention it was raining?
In the 2.4 Le Mans race Phil Woodbury is leading the pack and broke the track lap record of 14.00sec with a smokin' 13.6 sec!!
This should dispel any doubts that the OFNA/Hongnor Team equipped with the OFNA CD3 can handle the toughest competitors and the most adverse conditions.
Way to go guys!

 Race Results From 2004 World Championships 2-8 August 2004
The 2004 World Championship in Fururing, Sweden is now just a memory, and we are proud of all the great hardwork and exciting racing our teams provided. Much thanks to everyone involved.
2004 World's Summary:
OFNA/HoBao was off to an amazing start, with Yannick Aigoin (sponsored by T2M in France) showing true skill with his weapon of choice: the Hyper 7 C-Hub Pro (also known as the Pirate RS distributed by T2M in France only). Yannick expertly piloted his r/c into the #1 Top Qualifying-TQ spot, hands down "The Fastest Car at the Worlds". From there he continued on to win the "A Semi-Final" by a 30 second lead over the rest of the pack (one full lap in a 20 minute race).
Then we experienced an unfortunate bit of luck. After having his fuel tank checked 4 times previously with no issues, officials checking his Hyper for the 5th time decided the tank was suddenly 1cc over, although no equipment had been changed on Yannick's car. Yannick (T2M, France) was disqualified from racing the Main Event.
While we always respect IFMAR's rules and important officiating decisions, we believe there must be a greater consistency applied to the techniques involved in measurement in future races. These races are too important to be lost over small discrepancies in measuring equipment or techniques, and had Yannick (T2M, France) not been disqualified over this questionable issue, he could very well have gone on to be the World's Champ. That being said, we believe Yannick Aigoin (T2M, France) proved he was the better and faster driver at the Worlds, and the Hyper model is World-Class, Top-Shelf hardware.
The rest of our team members had respectable showings, and we encourage you to peruse the race results to see where our other drivers placed. Go to http://www.frck.org

Better luck in 2006! See you then!

 OFNA Displays The Goods at RCX 23-25 Apr 2004

From the air, land and sea the R/C's just kept coming. If that wasn't enough, killer robots engaged in mortal combat produced clangs and bangs that resonated throughout the entire show.

 Major European Win 1 Feb 2004
This event is one of the major touring car races for the year in Taiwan as it is the first race meeting after Chinese New Year. Race teams come from all over Taiwan to run this prestigious event. Some drivers even came from the south of Taiwan 250Km away. The event attracted over 80 drivers and pit crew with all the major race teams from Serpent 710/715, Mugen MTX3, Team Magic G4, HPI R40 and Associated TC3 were represented.
The Silver Stone Racing Track was rebuilt before Chinese New Year with a very smooth surface yet high traction. The high traction surface made most cars traction roll thru the corners so set-up and having the right car was very important. There were many car failures from our competitors with many cars breaking parts but I am so happy to say that after 40 minute of racing in the A main final, our cars were very strong and nothing went wrong for us.
Our Team leader Jeffery received TQ again and came first. Our manager Mr.Yeh received second place. And our new staff member Mr.Tommy came third with our LD3. I suppose you could say it was a one sided race as we created a new record in Taiwan with the LD3 receiving TQ, First, Second and Third place all in the one event with same cars. We are proud of this winning day.


 Chalk Up Another Win By The Drake 26 January 2004
Adam the Drake is on fire. On the heels of earlier victories, Adam pushed his Jammin 9.5 X-1 to the limits and took the checkered flag, winning 1st in the A-Main at CRCRC in Ohio. Never challenged during the 45 minute Main, he easily piloted his Jammin 9.5 X-1 to victory once again.

1/8th Scale Expert Class:
— 1ST PLACE - Adam Drake, Jammin 9.5 X-1
