I think this is the first stock rig that I've wanted since I got into crawling.

Interesting how the axles go together. Almost berg like tubes that bolt to a multi-piece center section. Hmmmmmmm...

Looks very interesting....Losi/HH IFS Wraith with Irok/Pitbulls (I like them, want to see a pic next to some 1.9 Flat Irons!) and what looks like real beadlocks....I like it! Body is kinda ugly with those popped up headlights though. 2 speed tranny is nice. Hope it's durable....HOrizon Hobbies has been great for turning good companies and products into crap... ie Toylosi.

Man, they come out of the dark and hit a home run! I have a feeling this will be a big hit in the Ultra 4 series that are starting to get very popular. I can't wait to get my hands on one. It almost looks like you could keep the main chassis, and braze up a cage topper for it, which would be awesome!

The rear axle looks soooo good, we finally have angled link mounts!!!

This one is a 1.9 so I would assume quite a bit smaller.

Seems like the wheelbase is 2 inches shorter and 2 inches narrower.

Unlike the Exo, THIS interests me. Scale? Smaller than a Wraith? This could be cool. I want to know more about the internals. Locked diffs (all three)? Does it share parts with other kits (like Wheelie King/Axial axle internals)? I wonder how durable it is?

Looking forward to learning more about it...
