Just the at the rate the pictures were taken and how the tires are ballooning.. it "looks" to be brushless, I mean it is throwing a lot of roost (dirt). I could be mistaken.. Frank211 do you know if your contenders rig was brushless? It seems it wouldnt of been a fair battle if so.

[EeePee]

You don't need brushless to do that.

Other front tire isn't spinning and going twice as fast because "it looks" like it has an open front diff.

Is that a 1/8 buggy based rig? I'm kinda liking that approach, like Rjohn's (?) Current Tekno build. You can pack 1/8 scale power and durability into a "1/10" scale car with less expensive parts.

If you zoom in on the last picture, you will find dolls watching the show.

I'm 100% certain I've seen that independent suspension rig before, isn't that one of the Vanquish guy's?

Yes, it's Pham's 1/10th scale Tekno based rig. Open front and rear diffs with axial based trans, Tekin Pro4HD I believe.

Does he have a build thread on that rig? and if so, can you point out where I can find it?

[OSRC]

Well that's what you get going to a Proline event with a set of Duratrax tires..... Just busting your stones - looks like a ton of fun!

Although if I were Proline I'd use those pics as a promo!

No build on it, it was finished for the U4RC Nationals and wasn't showed until Race Day. There are 6 basically identical cars total, built by Mike Duncan (4xdoc <- or something like that) on here.
