Agama N2e 1:8 Electric Buggy

Agama has released its latest 1:8 Electric Buggy contender, the N2e. On officially unveiling the buggy, Nemo Racing say that after years of development and refinement their lowest COG design concept is enhanced even further with the production of the Agama N2. The platforms unique suspension creates an incredibly low centre of gravity while their engineering teams years of experience has pushed them to ensure that not only is it fast, but it’s the easiest car to work on in its class. Lower COG makes the N2 more consistent to drive while being able to hold higher corner speeds than your average 1/8th buggy. Agama say it is not just in the corners where the N2 excels, through bumps it stays very flat with less tendency to want to flip over and in the air the N2 flies very low and stable as its unique clean aerodynamics have a tremendous effect, working the rear wing to maximum efficiency. The unique, lay-down shock system on the N2 enables a non-resistant stroke through the full suspension travel of the vehicle. With little side load going through the shock shaft, you are treated to the benefit of an ultra consistent suspension feel that won’t change during long finals.

Kobbevik finally becomes European Champion

Schumacher’s Daniel Kobbevik has finally turned years of raw speed into his first major international championship title, the Norwegian today becoming the 2026 EFRA 1:10 4WD Offroad European Champion at the ERT-Steyregg astro track in Austria. In qualifying, it was the Sworkz of Micha Widmaier who opened with a TQ run but rising to the top in Q2 & 3 it was Kobbevik who would be the Top Qualifier. Fastest in Q4, 2023 Champion Orlowski made it a 1-2 on the grid for the CAT PB followed by the Xray of Bartosz Zalewski who wrapped up qualifying with the fastest time in Q5. As the defending Champion, David Ronnefalk’s Xray would start P4 ahead of Widmaier with newly crowned 2WD Champion Marcus Kaerup finding himself P6 on the grid. In A1, the two Schumachers pulled clear and with 1-minute to go Orlowski got down the inside to go the front. A lap later however Kobbevik was back in front as he jumped over his team-mate but it still wasn’t decided. On the final lap the duo touched a number of times but with Kobbevik just running wide on the final run to the line it was enough for Orlowski to get through for an exciting win. In A2 Kobbevik was able to stay out front from start to finish, Orlowski shadowing him until a mistake in the final minute. With the decider going to A3, an early error from Orlowski lifted the pressure on Kobbevik. While a mistake on lap 3 allowed Zalewski to go to the front, it was short lived as the Pole landed on the track piping allowing Kobbevik back to the front to take his first title in style. Overall Orlowski would claim the runner-up spot with Ronnefalk completing the podium ahead of Zalewski, Widmaier, and Kaerup.
