The original drawing was done on a sheet of copier paper more rigid than the plastic in the links.

I actually am interested in the portal axles though. I'd stick them under the UMG10.

Let’s see where it goes. Maybe Axial will realize they are becoming irrelevant and step up their game? New axle designs, new plastic formulation perhaps, and who knows what other surprises may be in store. Needless to say, their last several releases when lacking in originality for sure.

I along with other competitors at Axialfest 19 this past weekend saw the new buggy. It had portals alright. I saw clear headlight too. It reminded me of a cross of a Bomber front with a truggy back. It was in a lighted showdowbox in a dark room, no phones allowed in, and after one minute Axial guy shut the light off. I asked a question and he went silent. Corporate secret stuff for sure. Axial is trying to compete with Traxxas I suppose.

Show me a stock portal that works, R1, no couldn’t steer or keep bearings in it. TRX, great chassis, only generic sport isn’t too high of COG. Redcat........ lot of gear issues. So Axial might actually get this right, seeing as SSD and VP figured it out. Hang up and Drive | |

Trx4 portals are probably the second best option out there. High altitude performance are top dog for sure. 55* steering and adjustable gearing is fantastic. Redcat are garbage though for damned sure. I watched a guy get bound up and break his ring & pinion, portal gears and stub shaft in one fell swoop last weekend. It was a stock rig too.

Inspired by the Lasernut rig perhaps? I'm pretty sure they had it there stacked on the Bomberfab rig if I recall some instagram pics. |

The BigSquid R/C AxialFest pics showed the Lasernut rig, which would be an incredible scale release from Axial: |

It's not styled after the lasernut/JHF style car. It's more a 2-seat promod style cage. More similar to Jake Hallenbacks Wraith II in size and proportion but the styling is not very similar IIRC. I think they allowed me a longer look than most, so I'll return the favor and keep most of the things I saw in suspense until the Horizon guys start to spill the beans themselves. |

| Re: The unofficial official axial portal buggy. Isn't the point in giving people like you a longer look allowing you to build hype by dropping details?
