it'd be nice if they used inferno diffs in the axles again. and maybe offer/include with kit inferno CVD's with a modded lengths to work...  | |

I guess that answers the questions about the two servos in the cab. No i hadn't noticed, but you're right.

 i guess one of those other servos are a winch servo for the suck down winchline, and maybe the other is for a dig?? | |

It keeps that axle from unloading. Say, on a steep descent, you can sinch up the rear axle. Instead of the rear stretching up and tumbling over the front, it will be held down keeping the center of gravity behind the front wheels. May have other uses also. | |

I looks (to me) like the axles are a modified/re-done set up based on the Twin Force. You can see the joint where one tube slides into the other. If so it will still have the 1/8 scale parts inside. It does look like the pumpkin is offset. If these axles are as easy to modify as Twin Force axles it will be breeze to narrow/widen them. I'm excited when is this thing going to hit the U.S. market? | |

Man that driveshaft idea is BRILLIANT! I hope RC4WD sees this and abandons the expensive punishers for this much simpler and easier to produce idea.

I think RC4WD's theory behind the Punisher is stronger beefier design to handle high rotational forces, not withstand hits from rocks via a skid plate.

As to looking like crap - hardly. The fabrication looks excellent to me. What looks lacking is the real crawler experience behind the design, but that can be sorted out. It's all about evolution. Go back 2 years on this site (if you can) and see what folks were running. Quote:
Speaking of evolution, here's another heavy-hitter in the RC world looking to market a production crawler. That is good. RC crawling can do nothing but benefit from big companies getting involved... Last edited by Big Mike; 10-12-2007 at 12:03 PM. | ||
