It's not translucent. Just lighting in the photo makes it look like that. It's opaque red ABS.

And for "cheaper than that" responding to a guess at price of $450.
So we could be at 9 weeks and $449?

We should be shipping in a few weeks (deliberately vague). I dont want to give dates yet just in case of unforeseen delays. We are working on the product page now.

The SSD kit is has CNC machined Aluminum/Steel/Titanium parts inside. Not a mostly plastic kit like the large manufacturers. So you are not being realistic at all.

We get it, just drooling over here trying to squeeze anything we can from ya, but we understand why you can only say so much.

Thanks for getting back to us to keep our inteest and give us little morsels here and there.
We are patient but HUNGRY!!! ;)

What would the axle width be? Same width as scx10.2?

Pretty sure it's all scx10ii based with probably updated pro44 axles

This waiting is killing me!! We could atleast use some more teasing pics!!! I don't like spending money but this looks like a good investment for the future, of the hobby of coarse! My boss lady might disagree though.

Would been nice with adjustable width, like on the Ascender axles. Scx width is just a little to much for many of the hardbodies out there.

Well you could always get some locked up rc scale bolts as a option

I generally use button head screws for everything but with the transmission using M2.5 screws, going cap heads there means most of the truck can be built with only a 2 mm driver.

I really think $450 usd might be a little on the high side, for the kit to really sell well. But I suppose we have to wait for the final specs before juding.
