The Model Off-Road Buggy Club in Perth, Australia has been chosen to host the 2018 IFMAR 1:8 Nitro Off-Road World Championships - so the MORBC put together this awesome promotional video. The 17th recognized championship for the category will be the first off-road Worlds in Australia since the 1989 electric off-road event in St. Ives, New South Wales. The 1:8 IC Track world championships were held in Sydney in 2001, while Brisbane served as the location for the 2006 200mm nitro touring and 2007 1:5 IC Touring title races.
