2006 Singapore Invitational Challenge 1
1/8th scale gas powered off-road buggy
The event completed successfully. We had great weather on Saturday, 22nd April 2006 and we were able to complete the 3 rounds of heats by 5:00pm. We had a slight delay in the morning over logistics and the Saturday early bird draw of HN tires (4 tire sets with rims), sponsored by HMW Hobbies Trading, was won by:
Pason Phua, Yap. Ben Seet, Jason Long, James, Razif, Pegan Teo, Faizal, Adrian Wong and Izam Sallim
On day 2, Sunday, 23rd April 2006, we manage to finish off round 4 of the heats with great weather. However, while we were sorting the results for the finals, the sky opened up and the timetable got delayed by about 2.5 hours. We make up for lost time, we reduce the sub-final duration from the original 20 minutes to 15 minutes and we were finally able to finish off by 6:15pm with a 35 minute Truck Final and a 45 minute Buggy Main Final.
We had guests from Malaysia, Indonesia and Australia. Guests from Thailand and Taiwan were not able to make it at the eleventh hour.
The Sunday early bird draw of a pair of Proline tires, sponsored by Toykar, was won by:
Glenn Phuah, Craig Laughton, Razif, Norhakim, Syaaf, Sam Cheng, Danny Teh, Rashid, Lui Man Yat aka Wenyi, and Alvin Goh
The top positions of the Truck event were:
First: Mr. Andri Hartanto of Indonesia
Second: Mr. Craig Laughton of Australia
Third: Mr. Yeo Seong Leng (Ah Leng) of Singapore
The truck event was closely fought amongst the top two positions, Andri and Craig. Andri drove a near flawless race, although Craig clearly had a faster truck. All this while, Ah Leng was trailing nicely behind the two front runners in the final race. Let’s hope that this event would generate more interest in gas powered trucks for future events.
The top positions of the Buggy event were:
Position: Driver Car Engine Country
1st: Glenn Phuah Xray RB Singapore
2nd: Goh (Ah M) HN STS Singapore
3rd: Andri Hartanto Sacker OS Indonesia
The Top Qualifier from the qualifying heats is none other than our very own Glenn Phuah.

The Buggy event was very closely fought amongst the top 4 positions. The pit crew grew more and more excited as they race each other and exchange positions periodically. Glenn deserve his win 100%, he drove his XB8TQ more consistently than the rest and was able to stay the course. Our good old Sam Cheng was in 4th and he fought hard, at times we could see him catch right up to the tail of Andri, but luck was not quite blowing his way at this event. It was only up till the 42nd minute that the positions were stabilised and they all finish up nicely. It was a very exciting race; it would be a shame if you had missed it.
If you did miss it, don’t worry, look out for either Mr Sia (Tai Sing) or Mr Kenny Chua, they were our two unofficial videographers on the driver stand throughout both the truck and buggy final. I am sure they will be most happy to show you what they have shot.
In the final lucky draw, the 3 Spektrum T-shirts and the Spektrum DX3 set, sponsored by JPL Racing were won by:
1. Mr Pegan
2. Mr Indra Liono of Indonesia
3. Mr Ryu Goh
Mr Joe Hwee won the DX3 radio set.
HMW Hobbies Trading also managed to help us obtain, from Hong Nor, a Factory Team Pro Kit of the X1CR. This was won by Mr Razif. Who, if you have notice was also the winner of both early bird draw. So the top winner of this event is actually Mr Razif.
Tai Sing Corporation (Pte) Ltd sponsored two RTR Lightning 10 kits and they were won by:
1. Mr Danny Teh
2. Mr Lui Man Yat (Wenyi)
Well, we are all indeed very grateful to our sponsors for their generosity. And we must also not forget the other sponsors, Mr Danny Teh, Mr Syaaf for the 10 cartons of drinking water and Mr Chai Kok Chin (HPC) for the packs of exhaust silicon gaskets that were given out to all participants.
