No one in the rc world is cool enough to make a stand up jet ski.

Well, Besides KNK with their awesome 550 Kawasaki.

Im thinking ultra4, short course or a buggy. Im hopeing for somthing new, not a exo with new paintjob. Do anyone know the release date??

[SINister]

I could be wrong but I doubt Dubro will make a crawler that can meet our expectations. Most likely it will be mainstreamed to be more appealing at time of purchase then on the rocks.

[crawl-o-matic]

Dubro? Did I miss something?

I assume he meant hobbico or who ever bought axial. I cant remember.

[slim_chance]

Right now I think anything but an ultra4 would just not fit in the line up. Yeah SCT is big in the go fast section of rc and it wouldn't hurt getting those guys paying attention to Axial but I think it would be a poor fit in the line up like the exo has been. Even pre jeep orgy Axial the exo seems like a Losi type rig. Imho. The color combos really are 80's mini truck though.

Oh crap! Just had a f'ed up thought. What if its a riced out Drifter with one of those color schemes? Maybe they think they need to branch out to a new market.

Il take a guess and say Baja trophy truck.

im listening

essentially that would be just a ultra 4(IFS/SRA) with a truck body though. hmm perfect for remarketing the same vehicle.....

im thinkin these guys are up to something in the IFS field.

Eventually it will be 2 new rigs.. first will be a 1.9 U4 TwinHammers 'Killer' and then they will come out with a Wrexo type rig using existing front EXO and Wraith rear and a new Wraith/EXO style chassis

^^I sure hope this is the outcome.^^ I'd be down for one of each.

wouldnt surprise me at all if they just mated the exo ifs to a wraith rear. relatively low cost to produce if they source parts that are aleady on the shelf.

im just hoping the in-between has something new in it.

hence `working on something fast`? haha!!
wouldnt surprise me now especially how Axial keeps slapping me in the face with scx variants with a new JEEP body!

Yup. From a cost/benefit perspective, they could get 3-6 different vehicles from two IFS/SRA chassis

-3 vehicles based on the old SCX axles
-3 vehicles based on the new Wraith axles

Only new tooling needed would be designing the chassis. Everything else is from the existing parts bin EXO front end, possibly a new front bulkhead and A-arms to match the width of whatever rear axles they plan to use.

Anyway, just speculations from all of us at this point.

[fr8cture]

hell this could be completely unrelated to a new truck and just a rtr g6 scx10.
