Far more than just looking at the piccies would suggest.........

Body, wishbones, rear hubs, rear hinge pins, fuel tank, shock towers, chassis, all driveshafts, brake discs, radio tray, steering/servo saver and many other samll improvements and material changes too. In total there are 32 changes listed on the side of the new boxs!! (although many are minor or just refinement)

No comment....... LOL

The longer chassis is going to be most noticeable, the other bits will mainly help it stay together for longer for a "bod like you", lighter and tougher where the main changes made, faster was hard to already do in the "Losi eyes" (in their opinion)
