It's leaf sprung on MRC axles. I really hope they did more than just rebadged an MRC. I need stronger axles or at least a tougher ring and pinion. Mine already needs to be reshimmed. After a just few hours on 2cell they started to click.

But 1/18 scale...I think Vaterra is headed in the wrong direction with this one. Should have released a 2.2 Twin Hammers kit.

Gotta admit, I'm disappointed. Vaterra hit a home run with the Twin Hammers, but this just falls flat for me. I know a lot of people will really like this rig. For what it is, they did a very good job, light bar and all in a nice little package. I still have faith in them, after all, this time last year, we had just learned of Vaterra. They aren't doing bad to be such a new company.

not bad for a mini..... is the mini market even out there still? I have a feeling it's gonna be overpriced. if this isn't under 200 rtr then I feel like it may flop.

Maybe it will bring back some life to the dead 1.9 comp class?
