I think some of you need to read the article. That's a 1:1 scale rig

does that mean MOA will be alowed in scale events?

just kidding, please don't.

So how is this MOA if it has 4 wheel independent suspension?

Looks more like a 4wd Slash with 2 motor/gearboxes. 4WD Rustler conversion?

it uses GM's "skate board" concept where you take a base and use it for multiple vehicles. The cage could use some work...

No it uses 4 wheel suspension, not torsion.

Is it just me, or does that tranny case look like a VP case for a XR10?

That's pretty cool!

I believe there will be some torsion going on there. They call it a torque tube.
