Longer, it was done before I left losi, which was over 2 years ago.

In just glad it is finally seeing the light of day. A few of us were convinced it would never come out

Does this mean it will release and then Losi pulls the rug out from under it within a year and retreats from the crawler/scaler market again?

Not really, it was bringing a knife to a gun fight. Trying to make a shaft compete with the MOA's was not going to happen in the big picture.

Wouldn't mind one as a trail rig... Since it's a cheaper rtr, I wonder if it will be needing Wraith style upgrades to make it worth having...

It's been a long time since I have seen or driven one, so I don't know how much has changed. That being said, it looks very similar to the production prototypes. I have the attention span of a 3 year old, it's rare that I can drive any crawler for more than 10 minutes before finding something to launch it off of. This truck fits the bill perfectly if you are anything like me. I will be buying one as soon as they are released with fingers crossed that it hasn't changed much

maybe its using something closer to the comp crawler axle because they already have the molds for that it would be cheaper to reuse an old mold instead of design a new one but who knows it might be a whole new rig
