And this also happened this week.







Both brand new, I couldn't resist building one. I assembled it on Wednesday evening, and just completed the dampers this morning.








I love how far they pushed the lightweight aspect of every detail on the chassis. The outdrives front and rear are pocketed, even the centres of the dog bones on the drive shafts are hollow. Also, the wheel axles are lightened, I'll post again about this.





The bulkheads are constructed lighter than the earlier T1 and Evo2 kits, the webs are far thinner.



One aspect of the design I don't like though is the motor mount being a separate part entirely from the rear bulkhead, so theres no direct connection other than the chassis and top deck between these two parts, so there's more chance of stripping a spur in a tap.
