Default Arrma Scaler?

Is Arrma getting into the scale crawling scene? The video appears to be a scaler if you ask me.

I think it's a teaser for 4x4 versions of their 1/10 cars, judging by the diffs and the 12 turn.

Thanks. Hard to tell but the brushed low turn motor you might be onto something. Definitely good to see other offerings.

No way that's a scaler. What scaler has exposed R&P? Maybe a rally car platform which would be awesome but I don't see it being a scaler.

I didn't think the ring would be exposed while running in any type of RC unless it was some odd direct drive on-road car. I thought the diff was open just for show and tell in the video.

Arrma and it's follower are all about 9S and 120MPH speeds. That's why I think there has to be something up with them teasing a brushed vehicle. I could be wrong though. It happened before, once, I think.

BigTurd has a photo up now. Still looks scaler-esque to me.

Looks interesting. I'm quite happy with my Arrma Nero so I'd be open to an Arrma scaler.

Seriously doubt it's a scaler. I'll agree there's a piece missing that covers that ring gear but doesn't change my opinion. Best case scenario it could be a solid rear axle SCT. The super long straight driveshaft down the middle says scaler to you Jato?

Some things say scaler some don't. I'm being overly optimistic that's it's a scaler too.

I saw that long shaft the second or third time I watched the video. It's interesting for sure. No off-road vehicle worth any weight will have an open trans or diff. That's why I think this video is kinda deceiving as well.

Those DL angles in a scaler would be nice.

I didn't see shocks in the video. For all I know this could be lying flat on a table.

True can't really see Sh*t jwith no shock tower like you said. Just like Arrma does with new stuff.

Like Chup said that is either a F/R diff. maybe a Rock Rey competitor.

A super scale Bomber/GOM/Rock Rey competitor would be awesome.

Or a super scale SCORE/Baja Rey competitor would also be great.

Got scale?!

I love Arrma. I have a Senton and Talion and I beat the snot out of them. The company puts a lot of effort into improving their models IMHO.

A scaler would be interesting...

Competition drives innovation. We should welcome this.

Looks like a slash knockoff to me. Literally nothing, not one single feature about that rig says scaler to me.

Id have to agree with the above comments after slowing the vid down. No way that's a crawl anything. Just the name itself points in a different direction. We shall see on Tuesday.
