Hobby Pro USA / Agama at the South American Nationals

The SNOR (South American National Off-Road Series) has been a steadily growing 1/8th Nitro Market. Hobby Pro USA’s Andrew Smolnik has attended the series in the past in efforts to help grow the South American R/C market while shinning some light on the Agama and Beta products throughout South America.

This past weekend’s SNOR series race was held in Pachuca Mexico, which is located about 1 hr outside of Mexico City. Pachuca’s nitro track is nestled within the bustling city which draws many spectators and a lot of new interest in our hobby.

1/8th Buggy: Agama driver and defending Mexican National Champion Daniel Ornelas piloted his Agama A8 buggy to a very deserved victory in this weekend’s race. This win secures the championship for Daniel with his 2nd National Championshiip for Agama in South America in as many years. This year Daniel utilized Beta Tires to help him secure his victory and bring home the championship. Congrats to Daniel on his great performance in the 1/8th Buggy Class.

1/8th Truggy: Hobby Pro USA / Agama Driver Andrew Smolnik drove the soon to be released Agama A8T Truggy to solid race victory. Andrew utilized VP Pro Cutt-Off Truggy Tires throughout the event with great success. The Agama A8T Truggy is due to hit the Hobby Stores soon! Stay tuned!
