| I think it looks pretty trick. When do you think the vendors/US will see them? |

Hmm, it appears to be the chassis design that the Japanese competitors brought to the Nationals this year. At least the crawler shown in the video looked to be exactly like those ones. Neat. edit: click on the girl holding the hammer in the upper right corner ... LOL! |

It was designed by one of the guys who competed in the USA last year. I hope to have some instock on release pending price (which is generally quiet high in regards to crawler parts made locally).

Looks awfully similar to a Axial trans Is it supposed to be the trans from the AX kit? Why would it sit so low and still have sprung shocks at one end? The sprung end will come up further than the bottom of the chassis by quite a bit...especially with how laid over the shocks are. In the vid it looks really floppy and unpredictable. |

It is a conversion kit and requires an AX10 to complete. More info in "english" here >>>> http://www.active-hobby.com/axial/ax10_cle.html Not sure on the functionality but it is good to some innovation out of the norm...so to speak! |

Yeah they were a very different style, got a really good look at them in Moab. They were running a 6 link in the rear, lots of redundancy. The outrunners they were using looked like they were the size of a small stack of nickels |

Wet noodle with Losi Claws... But I can see where it would be very planted in certain (key word) situations, with some much heavier shock oil. |

I wouldn't mind trying one of those if the price isn't to high. I kind of like the belly dragger look, it'll need a bit of tuning but what crawler doesn't?
