Man those videos are great.

As someone who has never owned a scx10ii or any scale chassis based truck, can someone please tell me if the other offerings in the market are able to handle terrain at that speed with that much composure?

Or is this BOM packing some sweet suspension to allow such driving?

I would venture to say that behavior is fairly typical of a well set up, light in the arse end rig.

Also fair to say that video editing can make any rig look much more "composed" when slowed down somewhat. Watching the physics of the rocks and dust I would not testify that video was posted at actual speed.

I’ve noticed Fedex has upped their game lately. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it a day or two earlier than the estimated arrival date.

They seem to have that rig pretty dialed in the youtube video. I'm impressed. I was just about to pull the trigger on a TRX-4 Sport too. Hmmmmmmmm. Decisions decisions.

I think you'd better just order both. Then you can drive and appraise the Sport while building the BOM.

I love modern online package tracking, but I hate it. I've had to agonizingly watch my BOM making its steady ground bound way across the country...Sacramento, Park City UT, Overton NE, Kansas City, Benton IL...made it to Nashville this morning...aargh!!

I hear ya 2mtech....mine arrived in Blaine, WA today and I should have it by Friday. I've got a Holmes Hobbies BL Revolver 1800kV motor ordered for it too, I've been wanting to try one of these motors for a while.

I don't even want to build it now if you're building one!

Hope yours doesn't get hung up in customs...should rock with a Revolver!

As a Revolver user (and abuser), I can only imagine what a lightweight truggy like the GS02 will run like with one...

Mine's in an overweight Bomber and is a joy to run!

(However, there's a strong chance of massive weight reduction predicted for that rig...)

I've said this over and over before...but this time I really want to try to keep this build as stock as possible. We'll see if I can hold true to that!

If by stepping their game up lately you mean leaving packages in the middle of the driveway in the pouring thunderstorm when 15 steps the package would be under a covered porch in clear sight... fed ex blows
