New HotBodies 4WD buggy

[jimmy]

Looks like this is the new entry level/basher/fun version of the D4

[Northy]

Is it just front wheel drive, or does it have a bendy rear prop to go over the stick pack?

must be a bendy! strange. it has driveshafts to all wheels - but I Can't see how they can get over the stick pack easily.

if you look through the hole in the rear upper deck it looks like part of a CV, so they could have done something like the durango. i dont know if you guys where being sarcastic with the comments or not. if you where disregard what i just said

i hope they do what they did with the cyclone and relese it as a sport kit and a RTR. i would rather have a kit over a RTR.

[jimmy]

sarcastic? no I genuinely can't figure out how they have done it - it doesn't look like the spur is high enough but maybe it is.

[Scouser]

Maybe the rear drive is a belt and they have managed to get the belt to squeeze through gaps you wouldn't have thought possible, like this un-named Tamiya driver.
