[cmgreen]

Nice!!!

Ordered!

[RLGfx]

sweet! I am now officially ace...

it was either this for my guess, or that the chassis was made of potassium...

[RobW]

That looks seriously cool. New Xray looked a little plain to me all in black but this seems to carry it off.

Must keep repeating to myself - "I do not need a new 4WD, I do not need a new 4WD....."

thats the cats bollocks..

Small bore shocks running big bore springs? Seems a bit daft.

[minimini]

similar to Tamiya DB01 drive-train

Hello all,

Lovely

Looks like the option to play with diff height has been removed.
Slipper adjustment on the opposite side of the spur.
The Fab system won't work on this car I think.
Suspension arms, hubs etc same as the SX3
Bando's included from the get go.
Clean steering assembly etc etc
All in all a simple robust clean design wich will be easier to
wire than the SX3, count me in!
Can a team driver show one with the electronics in it?
