| TFL unicorn C1805 coming soon
Just saw these on Taobao today. Come as kit USD599 with two speed transmission in Stainless Steel tube chassis. Skid plate compatible with RR10. But I am not sure this is 2.2 or 1.9 rig. Sent from my vivo 1723 using Tapatalk |

Cool! Looks like the steering servo mounts to the backside of the axle? That's different.

I'd call this one the Fipper. Fanquish Ripper. |

Cool. The metal axle assemblies that TFL uses on their SCX10 are all over ebay cheap and have a reputation for being pretty durable. If these end up being the same way, it'll be a cheap upgrade option for Wraiths, Bombers & Yetis.

| Re: TFL unicorn C1805 coming soon cage of the "jeep" and bronco are different, but I think hes meaning the concept. The ripper isn't ground breaking. It's not a new design. Its just a copy of 1:1 U4 rig, so ehhh. In any case, at 599 I wouldn't call this an affordable upgrade, but it's cool I guess. |

This and that it isnt a new thing for TFL. If you look at the two they use the same servo style mounting, skid mounting, and motor mount. While the tubing shape is different the main anchor points are the same. | |

I thought the cage was new for TFL. The cage and axles are definitely look Vanquish inspired to me. But the Ripper and axles are inspired by 1:1 so...

It is a new design, and it could well be. But at this point cages are done to death, so It is pretty hard to be original, unless you CNC it out of a block of metal. | |

With that fancy metal 2 speed transmission and scale engine combo, this may have more in common with the JKMAX from Capo. So... Fapo? |

That cage and body could be used to make a sweet Erik Miller Motorsports replica! I like it... Don't really need the axles, though.

Not sure that even matters. I have the bronco frame and body only, then fitted it with TKO axles, Im sure you could do the same with axles of your choice. | |

Saw this on their site a few weeks back. Was wondering when it would be released.
