I'll go from the bottom up. Its in no way a AC rip off. Nothing between the 2 is the same exept it uses the xxx-nt front plate. There is no cf on the car due to the cost and the rigidity, we run 99% dirt here so the chassis needs to flex, but my car still weighs under 1550g's ready to run. This car is uses a main chassis and an upper deck with standoffs to seperate the two, the upper deck is about half the thickness. The motor plate is made of 3mm aluminum with a cam gear system so you can run any losi spur gear on it to get your desired FDR. The car has integrated servo mounts so you can remove the 2 top screws to give the chassis more flex for more grip in lower traction conditions. It also has a proper gear cover unlike the AC kit which on dirt it makes a big differance. The biggest thing that the AC kit doesn't have is its 100% bolt on, you don't need to by other parts from other companies (why would you run AE parts on a losi again?) The CR2 is as much of a rip off of the X6 as the LMX is of the CR2. More info can be found here

Here in North Amarica almost everyone runs stick packs. But like everything times are changing and with other cars recently comming out with the saddle pack layout for high grip situations there might be a saddle version to please the carpet/turf guy around the world.
Chad (the guy who makes the kits) is limited by a few factor on how fast he can build kits, one of them is getting parts from Horrizon hobby and getting material (not to mension him using a 24"x12" cnc only can do so much so fast) , that along with the rest of his busy life including designing more cars, he has sprint cars, kits for the AE line of cars, on top of making 4 differant kits and another 2 in the final stages before production. He's a very busy man. Here's a pic of the jc relux inspired front wheels for the losi (those are relux wheels on the back)
I got the first kit and mine arrived around May 10th, so less then 2 1/2 months
We're a little off topic, but you started it
I was showing a solution
