Pre Worlds Testing – Associated & Hot Bodies
The organisers of the recent Worlds warm up in Argentina took the decision to end the event a day early, due to the lower than expected entry list. This however allowed travelling drivers to spend an additional full day testing and practicing. As always our good friends over at Neo Buggy caught all the action and noticed the following…
Team Associated were testing a number of different layouts and placements under the hood, we were asked not to photograph this as it’s still very much in testing infancy.

Hot Bodies is a team that have been trying out a few different things, Hara opting to run a testing body throughout the event, he ended up not making the main having gear issues. During testing on Sunday however he did break out a pretty distinctive looking body on the D8 ’12, it was short lived however as he quickly reverted to the original body.

At one point we saw HB team mate Jesse Robbers trying out HB’s ‘other buggy’, the CR8, he didn’t race it during the event but perhaps broke it out to see how it handled the rough conditions. It must be said that all of the teams and drivers present are here to test and practice, and don’t really want to give away any details of test plans, what they’re trying and progress.
