Hi All
Just got mine on friday & finished building it today, just the speedo & motor to go in. Oh yes I also need to think up some way to keep the orion lipo(4800) from moving about on the chassis.
Just a quick word to all you guys who suffered with the original SB (me included) (I still have the car,just don't know what to do with it), Let me say that this one is a big step in the right direction, and that's good news.
As far as the plastick are concerned they feel like the losi graphite parts, I have been with Losi since they first started so I bellive I should know. the fit & finish is first class but it's a pitty they did not take care of the steering bellcranks at the factory also the instruction manual is a bit jumbled up, it is probably the "sports" manual so it has pics of parts that are not in the box as this is the "pro". workable but not on par with the big boys. the shocks seem to be very smooth. not alloy which sucks but then again niether are the ones that came on my xray T2 or the T2 007 (I broke a shock body on that car once), but time and a lot of testing will tell if the are any good.
The car once built feels rigid to the "grab the car at both ends & twist" test, very impressive, as are the plastics(arms,spindles hubs ect) nice & stiff very good quality all in all.
So far this is looking good, as far as how it drives & survives that remains to be seen.
